Flexgate Awareness (AppleIQ)
Is your MacBook screen acting strange? It might be Flexgate.
Flexgate is a well-known fault on certain MacBook Pro models, caused by the display’s fragile flex cables wearing out over time.
Common symptoms include:
• Stage-light effect at the bottom of the screen
• Screen flickering or dimming
• Display working only at specific angles
• MacBook powers on, but the screen stays black
This occurs because the thin backlight cable bends every time you open and close your MacBook, eventually cracking or tearing.
At AppleIQ, we repair Flexgate issues every week.
