Flexgate is a manufacturing defect on Macbook Pro 2016-2018(commonly on 16&17) that causes LCD backlight to gradually turn off when the screen is opened more than 45 degree, all because of one reason: SHORT CABLE.
Watch how +3mm longer cable will make a big difference.
_____________________________________________
Apple has finally released an "Exchange and Repair Extension Programs" to replace the affected display. Currently ONLY the following models are supported:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) - touchbar
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports) - nontouchbar
Why only these two models? Apple knows best for you.

My 1 year old 13 inch MacBook pro a2159-2019 has display flickering issue. Now I have to replace the whole lcd for a simple cable issue. Good job apple.

Thank you for this video and info. I wish apple would take responsibility for the flaw on more than just the 13" models.

There is information about fixing that issue not only in MacBook Pro 2018 but in all MacBooks assembled after end of summer 2018. Is it true ? It wold be greate to hear your opinion. tnx

Александр Миронов 3 days ago I opened the back cover of my macbook pro 2017, to see the condition of the cable, and I found my cable to be a little longer, so that there are no sharp bends when the lid is fully opened, my macbook production date is April 18, 2018, and comments on several forums say that the Macbook produced in August 2018 also gets a slightly longer cable, which is probably Apple's way to fix the flexgate problem

@jpark108 2 года назад

awesome - simple 3mm longer...but is it a simple fix?

@briantium 5 лет назад

Are you saying that the 2mm Apple implemented on the 2018s still aren't long enough?

@iBoffRCC 5 лет назад

we've tried the +2mm cable, but it will not get the perfect curve as in 0:52, but at least it will not flex/broken as in 2016/17. we've tried +4mm cable, but it was too long and not fit the tiny space. The +3mm cable is the perfect length(perfect curve, fit the space)

@briantium 5 лет назад

This problem can occur on a Macbook pro 15 2018? since I have no video on screen.

@iBoffRCC 3 года назад

you can try to verify by using torchlight. flash the screen to see whether still can see the display or not. or open the screen less than 45 degree

@BriNJ1983 4 года назад

Has anyone figured out or used the "Exchange and Repair Extension Program"? The only issue I saw them fix falls under: "13-inch MacBook Pro Display Backlight Service Program". Is there one for this Flexgate issue? As described on the support.apple website, they describe the problem NOT with the horizontal lines, but rather: "'stage light' effect at the bottom of the screen or the display completely shutting off if the lid was opened more than halfway." Any advice?

@DrFranq 4 года назад

This is exactly my problem, and as far as everyone in Apple if spoken to, MY problem is NOT A BACKLIGHT DISPLAY problem, and thus, is not covered by the Exchange and Repair Extension Program, let me know how it went for you. All the best.
