  1. This is not MacBook specific. Happens with many laptops. LCD cables are routed through the hinges and wear over time. Sometimes the cable requires replacement and in some cases a simple reseat of the connector fixes the issue.

  2. Just to clarify to some of the commenters here. There are two common distinct Macbook display issues. The first is FlexGate, which is where you lose backlight after the screen opens about 25ยฐ or so, or you get stagelighting at the bottom of the screen. This is primarily caused by the backlight flex cable cracking and only getting intermittent connection. This problem here is colloquially known as DustGate and is caused by damage to the two wider flex cables that go from the TCON board to the LCD panel. This is where dust and grit work down and damage the flex cable/s causing intermittent data transmission to the LCD. Two ways to fix this are restoring the broken data lines in the flex/s with a small solder blob, fine jumper wire or conductive ink. In my mind it is not really a satisfactory repair. Some technicians will replace both data cables but this requires removing the LCD panel from the metal housing and soldering in two new flex cables. Very labour intensive and quite expensive.

  3. These Macbooks are way to expensive for this to happen to so many people. Why cant they engineer things that dont break or are easy to repair. Its horrible to spend $1000 on a computer and then have it break under normal use or due to dust (look up macbook dustgate). I do really like OSX and mac computers (because core audior is rock solid for audio/music) but i cannot buy or recomend any macbook made after 2015 for various reasons. My old Macbook will need an upgrade but sadly i will have to buy an older laptop like a 2014 and possible an M1 mac mini if my budget allows.
