How to Fix Flexgate by Changing Cable Only 

plz before attempting this repair WARNING 80% chance you will damage your LCD. for anyone that does repairs regularly you know that this is a very very very tough job and takes practice to do without damaging or breaking LCD or scratching or damaging backlight. the Risk for this repair is very high. Usually we train our technicians to try 10 + times on broken screens before doing the job on a working screen .

Good job, I have a display issue, don't think I would attempt this.

Hi @Master Liu this tutorial is really awesome! I just wonder if this process will work also for 15inch Macbook Pro 2017?

Hi I have the same problem and I want to repair it like you, where did you buy the cable and the Air Slice tool ? 😊

that's super crazy workmanship

Simply extending the cable is the simplest, safest, and most practical fix for this problem. I wouldn't advise it unless you're refurbishing a lot of screens.

Hi there just wondering where you buy the splitter for separating lcd panel and the backlight? can you provide the name of it since I don't know how to search on Taobao. Cheers.

What protective plastic did you use?

does this procedure work for the 15" model.

Very interesting video. Where do I can find only the cable to be replaced?

Takes skill... Very impressive!

Does this method work for the 15 inch version?

whats the link for the cable ?!

My problem is that my display has backlight. But no image, only shows some random vertical lines or sometimes work if I put in a 30-degree angle, it's the same model, do you know if can I change the display cable of this model?

Hello Master Liu where I buy the film to protect the display?

pls whr can get the flexgate backlight cable to buy?

Nice Work! Bro

Amaxing job

oh lord, I was hoping that it would be easier to change the flex cable, but its Apple shouldn't be surprised TBH.

this method is suitable for repair A1706 A1708 ?

Are u in Houston tx? My 2018 macbook pro has pink screen. Need your expertise to repair ...

Do you replace the cable with the short one or the longer one?

this doesn't look like too bad of a job. do you have links to all the things I'd need to perform this?

Very nice

Louis Rossmann wants to know your location.

Where can I get the kit? And can you list the part number that you used?

Hey. I have "MacBook 12-inch A1534". There is some problem with the screen. Screen works perfectly as certain tilt but if I move it, the screen vanishes. I think fault lies in connecting cable. Can the cable be repaired for the said model ?

Great Work! 我的macbook也是出现了这样的问题，虽然类似可以通过视频中的手法换新排线，但是我还是想请问一下新排线是否2年后又会出现黑屏？ 能否通过更换长、持久的排线来尽量延长机器的正常使用时间？ 谢谢！

Where’s your workshop? I need to replace the same cable on MacBook Pro 13” A1706

But what about 15 inch? 2016-18. Same construction?

Hello. I also have trouble on my Macbook Pro 2017, touch bar. A year ago, it starts flickering. I do not have enough money to fix it by LCD replacement. So, what I did was when the screen starts to flicker I just close it for a few hours and use it again. It takes only 15mins before flickering again, so, as I student its kinda hassle. Then, there was this online friend of mine who told me that I do not need to have an LCD Replacement, I just need to fix the flex. So, I want to ask you, if ever I fix the flex on my laptop is it a good move? Or do I really need to have an LCD replacement?

Wow. I'm in the process of fixing a few MacBook Pro 2019 models with a variety of display issues. This seems extremely convoluted... It is most likely cheaper to send it in for repair than to spend hours trying to fix it myself.

This is impressive and super risky. Nice job damn

I just want to ask anyone what’s the worse can it be? Dark bottom strips that covers the dock? Is that’s the case, I will just use external monitor and leave it

need that cable for my mb pro 2016 flexgate trouble,where i can buy this cable sir?please reply.

It seems easy, but... I think that it's hard. Could you replace this cable with another one longer than original? (like MBP 2018)?

i need this flexgate can anyone help me with it please

This is insane

老板，屏幕拆机片哪买的，找遍淘宝也没找到同款

Same problem here. Black horizontal line at the bottom. Apple should offer an extended warranty program to address the issue.

My gawd. Both my lenovo 15 yr ideapad and 7 yr old lenovo y50 nvr had such prob.

huaqiangbei master😍

Dont think I can do this. It does show how apple has forced us with the flexgate defect to buy the entire lcd panel from $300 to $600. Im going to ask apple to fix it for free like they did with 13inch models. This is truly made me not buy any more MacBook Pros. But I will most likely fix my current A1707 15 inch model suffering from the flexgate issue to have it as a backup system. Ive already bought a Suface Pro 8 in the meanwhile to use while I fix or get fixed my defective MacBook Pro 15 inch A1707 system I paid close to $3k for in 2017.

Long fingernails are essential tools.

Unnecessary complex and time and money spend just for a design flaw, also this fix is only temporal cause it’s gonna happen again ...

I opened these models, and many new models with special kind of solvent made by New Zealand company and it doesn't require heat either risking anything and much easier. in Auckland, I can do that ...

That's some clear bullcrap apple flaw

nope.

Let me not bother asking for where to find you :(

Apple came out with a free repair program for 2016 MacBook Pros so don’t fix it yourself yet

Thanks Apple, for making these repairs so easy! SMH.

This is very risky but cheap

Sign the petition: www.change.org/p/apple-fix-all-macbook-pro-2016-and-later-with-stage-light-effect-or-backlight-shutdown-flexgate

yeah.... Just replace the whole thing....

Apple care changing the screen for free great company thanks Apple 🙏

😶

Ok no. Apple must fix this. I still have my old MBP 2015 Retina with 800+ cycles and still kicking ass. This new one with 170 cycles stops working because of a design flaw. No MAC user needs to go through this after paying 2.5K for a machine that is going to last... What? A year...? tops? Ridiculous...

Use the frozen machine, will be faster and cleaner. This tutorial is for selling the Air Slice stuff. This is only good for cheapskate which will wasting more time and just replace the whole assembly. Please do not try if you have money to buy the MacBook. LoL... Rossman won't tricked to do this job.

If successfully done after putting all this work and putting the $700 screen at risk, the flexgate problem will reappear again after normal repeated use. KEEP buying more apple.

You can hear Apple go muhahaha

Hell no buy the screen!! It'll crack so easy

I’ll stick with my old ass 2015 macbook pro

don't buy the touch bar

My 2016 15" mbp tb also has this problem ¨flexgate¨ they want to charge me 950 usd. Come on apple dont be greedy and irresponsiblle with your clients, dont wait more to extend the warranty for us all . Hope the class action lawsuit of the butterfly keyboards wins , so all of us can ask for new laptops that actually work and dont brake!!!

Well they don't make changing a cable very easy.
