What is Apple MacBook flexgate issue?

MacBook flexgate refers to the design flaw of the MacBook screens manufactured in 2016-2017. The backlight cables are prone to be broken due to extended stretch.

When these flexible cables bend with the display and become worn down, this will lead to some backlights in the display failing. The uneven backlights in the screen can eventually lead to a completely dark screen when the display is tilted further.

This MacBook Pro backlight not working problem arose in 2018 and has persisted up until now. Since the nature of this problem only occurred when the Macbook Pro had aged, it was undiscovered at first and was only brought to attention when the 2016 Macbook Pro models began to show signs of wearing down.

 

Apple MacBook Pro Display Backlight Service Program

Apple has taken note of the flexgate issue with the display and launched the MacBook Pro Display Backlight Service Program to service the affected MacBook free of charge. You can find out whether or not your MacBook is eligible for the backlight repair program on Apple’s website.

This extended warranty program is based on the purchase date of the device. In 2023, most Mac owners have found their devices not covered by the program. Apple charges a premium price for a new screen replacement when your mac is no longer covered by the extended program.
