Hello, I have came across an issue with the MBA 13 M2 from a reseller with unopened box. I have bought it a couple days ago and the evening I was using it I heard a popping sound whenever my lid was more than 90 degrees open and I began to close it. It comes from between the middle lower side of the display and upper side of keyboard (between f5 and f6. It s a popping sound alike the sound of lightly hitting your nail onto a wooden table. (I have found a couple of similar posts about this but with no luck in finding the right answer. I have opened the laptop bottom case, unscrewed the bracket that held the display, checked the display band, disconnected and reattached it back. I checked and the sound was made by the ribbon cable. Still don't get why because it wasn't hitting anything. I am not disturbed by the pop, only by the fact that it might break in some months.
PS: I can t return it because I have bought it from a friend, as new.
