And rather than routing the cable through the hinge, as most laptops do, it's wrapped around it, which puts excessive stress on the wires when you open and close the lid, according to iFixit. IFixit shows that all the current MacBook Pro models use a thin, fragile cable. Repair : Apple MacBook MagSafe Charger Power Cord: Apple really dropped the ball on the design of this charger. The petition states the problems are "caused by a fractured display flex cable due to its design flaw." (We haven't seen the problem in any of our systems.) That's how many people have signed a petition so far requesting that Apple extend its warranty duration to cover the screen replacement necessary to fix it.Īccording to the petition, under normal use, the laptop display can begin to display a "stage light" effect at the bottom when on high brightness or a complete backlight shutdown when the lid is open beyond a relatively low angle. If you're having backlight issues with the screen on your MacBook Pro (2016 or later) - ranging from dark areas near the bottom backlight LEDs to a completely dead backlight - you've got at least 2,500 friends. The thin flex cables connecting the screen to the display controller wrap around the hinge, so are affected every time you move the lid.
