Macbook pro 2017 - Flexgate - backlight display issue

Macbook Pro 2017 flexgate


Considering the brand value of Apple, I purchased Macbook Pro 2017 in December 2017. But much to my surprise, the laptop has started malfunctioning just 2.5 years later.

On opening the laptop screen above 40 degrees or so, the screen is blacking out - flexgate issue.

Really disappointed with this product. How can such an expensive thing malfunction within 2.5 years.


Even a cheap price laptop would work more than this.

Really annoying to see and hear that Apple is continuously deleting posts from the community regarding this flexgate issue.


Pathetic quality of the material used. Really disappointed.


Apple must start a repair program for Macbook Pro 2017 Flexgate.


After I contacted the support they representative told apple has not yet started repair program for this version, meaning I must keep this unusable device until the mighty apple starts a repair program for my device.


I think it is better to get all the details from 2016 variant match it with the 2017 variant then lodge an official complaint for such uncaring behavior. I was an apple user for 10 years but not anymore.


I mean I do not understand how can exactly same issue between the two models appear and apple decides it will only fix it for one.

Exactly! I am in the same situation as are thousands of people. A real shame Apple is not handling this issue properly. I still want to believe that they will do the right thing, but time is passing and I already lost 9 or so months on my laptop's life...
