Macbook 15 inch 2017 has the same stage light / Fluxgate problem that the 13 inch model has. Please provide link to Apple repair / replacement program
At this time the Service Program is limited to 13".
https://support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-display-backlight-service
however if at any time it is expanded to include your 15", typically Apple will issue a refund for out of pocket expenses for parts & labor... Having a service ticket will be your receipt..."affected by this issue, and you paid to have your display repaired, you can contact Apple about a refund."
In the mean time—
please submit your feedback as well on your effected machine:

Same here. Apple, please setup a replacement program for 15" models too, as this is a design issue.
Same precise issue here with 15” MacBook Pro Touch Bar edition all of a sudden as well with the fancy lights on bottom of screen and 45degree turn off
Go on twitter, and all social media. Apple doesn't care until it's forced to
Twitter, Facebook, let everyone know not to buy these useless things
They replace mine for free. You need to do a claim
How do you do a claim? I was told there was nothing they can do and you had to pay for it
Please share how
officially only 13 inch gets repaired !
Hi Bertan.k,
is this the Macbook pro 2016 15" model or 13" model? Also which country is this?
I have the same problem and am looking desperately for a solution to this.
15 inch 2017 from France.
in Europe, we have a law for design defects.
Indeed we do... I had the misfortune to get the felx-gate issue on my late 2016 15" MBP just 1 month after the obligatory 3 year "design flaw" warranty we have in Sweden.
I just hope one day we can all beat this Goliath and be compensated, but not holding my breath. Spread the word far and wide that these products are bad, and not to buy them
So, at this day still nothing from Apple ?
What can we do ?
Depend of country.

I have this problem with macbook pro 13 2017, too. Anybody knows about the design defect law in Germany? Has anybody an experience with the flexgate repair in Germany?
I'm having the same issue with my 15 inch 2017 macbook pro. Please fix this issue Apple!
