Flexgate

Hello everyone! After three years of using my MacBook Pro 13'', 2017, two Thunderbolt 3, without touchbar) I encountered a flexgate problem. Purple stripes and 1 black stripe appeared on my screen. After looking at the information on the Internet, I realized that my case is not the only one that many people face it. Apple is aware of the problem, as there is a replacement and repair extension program - they repair MacBook Pro 2016 with Flexgate problem for free for 4 years. Why MacBook Pro 2017 is not in this program? I have the same problem! Have you able to get a free repair at the service center?

Hi,

I suppose your problem is not so called flaxgate issue.

It could possible that your problem might be LCD control logic or Graphic Processor issue.

You'd better make Genius Bar reservation if your local retail Apple Store is open or find opened local Apple Authorized Service Provider to be examined your MacBook Pro there.
