Macbook Pro Flexgate Repair (A1706 A1707 A1708)

MacBook Pro Flexgate Repair Service

Do you have a MacBook Pro which is experiencing a 'flexgate' display problem? Is the display permanently blank and failed altogether? Does the image on the screen fail and go blank after you open the lid after certain angle?

If so, welcome to the most widespread issue Apple MacBook users are complaining about! This is an inherent fault on a lot of the 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro models (A1706/A1707/A1708) and we are beginning to see the issue on the 13" and 15" 2018 and 2019 models as well.

​​​​​Many users started noticing this problem a few years ago when Apple moved on from the traditional wired method of connecting the display panel, to then using flex cables that manoeuvre around the internal hinge bracket.

The flex cable responsible for the display backlight was originally manufactured too short, so there is too much stress on the cable itself when opening and closing the MacBook which eventually damages it - this will result in no image at all, or an image which is only visible up to a certain angle around 35-60 degree, after this it just fails.

If your MacBook screen does not display an image at all and you want to confirm that you are experiencing the flexgate issue, the MacBook should be able to power on. There should have been no physical damage or drop that caused the fault. Once powered on, the green light should appear when pressing the CAPS LOCK. You will also get haptic feedback from the trackpad when pressed. If you shine a torch or bright light onto the screen in a certain angle, you should be able to see the display albeit faint and very dull. Please note if your display does not stay blank or go blank when opened and you have horizontal/vertical lines or pink/purple bars or any image defect, this service is not for you.
