MacBook Air M1 Hinge clicking noise
Hey guys, I have a MacBook Air M1 that is about 2 months old now.
initially the hinge was so tight I want able to open it with one hand. I called up AppleCare and they said it will loosen up in three months, this was about a month and a half ago.
But later I noticed that the hinge made this clicking noise whenever I open or close the lid after long time of not using the laptop. It’s always around 20-50 degree angle and it’s pretty noticeable.
I mainly notice it when having the laptop on my lap or on an uneven surface.
i took it once to the Apple canter and they loosened the hinge a bit. This solved most of the other resistance but the click is still present.
the click is as strong as keeping your hand on top of the lid, then force clicking the trackpad.
interestingly this clicking disappears when I tap the region on the deck of the laptop above where the hinges are located
should I get the display replaced and risk potential wear, or is this normal and will disappear in a couple of months??
