Why does my MacBook Pro close with the slightest movement of the lid?

My MacBook Pro has started to close with the slightest movement of the lid. I can close it completely and log back in but can never make the slightest adjustment to viewing angle.


I have opened it in safe mode but no change.


I downloaded Etrecheck and ran that. That report is attached. Any help appreciated.



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

You seem to be saying "close" means "sleep" ... is that correct? Or by "closes" do you mean shuts down completely?


Sounds like the screen cable is worn and/or defective. That will require an examination by Apple.


etrecheck will not directly disclose damage to a cable.
