MacBook Pro 13” M1 with backlight bleeding

Is it normal to have this level of bleeding in the display, in the MacBook Pro 13” with M1 chip? I used to have a MacBook Pro 13” from 2018 and I remember it didn’t have this.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

2012 13" MacBook Pro Seems to have slight Backlight Bleed | What Should I Do? So my 2012 13 Inch MacBook Pro seems to have some slight backlight bleed on both sides of the screen, (especially on the left side off the screen) and I have not noticed it till today, and I have had this computer for a couple of months now. I take this computer to college, and I move it around the house. I have never dropped it hard, but it had 2 tumbles on to the carpet, but not on the sides were the bleed is. Is this a serious problem that needs to be fixed ASAP? Will the bleed worsen over time? And if it is serious, should I replace the display or get a new Mac?

Hey there adminrivera,

We'd like to help get the screen showing correctly instead of those differently colored lights near the top and bottom of the screen.

These are the next steps to take If your Mac display doesn’t look right.

Take care!
