Popping Sound, MBP 2016

Also, for me anyway, changing the display didn’t work. They changed the display (issue remained), then changed the top case (issue remained), then changed the logic board — issue was then fixed, only to return again in 10 days.

They gave me a new computer after that.

that answer is not valid. When a problem is repeated in several users it is attributed to construction failure. It does not go through the guarantee path as someone says in this forum, this corresponds to a program to change the defective part.

Hello,

I left a message on this link, according to Apple's people read it and give an answer. I invite you to share your problems so that Apple realizes that this problem is more common than you think.

It's not the hinges. You need to read the thread and then make an appointment at anApple store if it concerns you. This thread could have been quite short as the correct reason for this issue has been laid out a number of times.

Hi all,

I have a 2016 MBP that has the same clicking/popping sound.

Because my AppleCare is about to run out, I took it in for a Genius Bar appointment.

They sent it out for repair. Just got it back today, they did replace:

Fan right

Fan left-a

vent/antenna module

However, the sound/problem has not been fixed.

I guess I should call apple but has anyone had a proper fix, and if so, what did they replace?

Thanks

Apple Is not clear the fault, some users have changed the display to solve the problem but other users don't. I was told that they unknown this judgment. I think that apple doesn't want to recognize this problem.

Every day a new user is added with this problem, not just in this forum. Apple should incorporate this problem into its replacement plan without cost. He did it with the butterfly keyboard. Because you don't do this with this problem???.

Greetings.

Your warranty will cover both of those problems. I always make a point of getting it fixed before the warranty period starts to approach its end.

simply adjusted the fan speed manually to 3200 left and 3500 to right; and that simply works for me.

I'm hearing the exact same issue! I've scoured the internet and have found nothing about it. Your post is the first thing I've seen on this topic.

I have identical specs, albeit the 512GB storage on mine.

My single pop noise also sounds like it's coming from under the trackpad. Very weird.

VegasNewYorker71: if your AppleCare is expiring you should def bring it in ASAP.

They will try different things, sometimes together and sometimes in various successions (this is based on my reading of the forums since I've very familiar with this issue, and also because I went through 3 different repairs on my MBP and also had to try 3-4 MBPS which all had different iterations of the issue before I eventually found one that is quiet and works normally. That said, this MacBook Pro now has a Touch Bar issue https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8659564 but that's a different story).

They will try:

• replacing the Display,
• then the Top Case,
• then the MLB (Main Logic Board).

Hopefully, one of these will work for you. All the best.

Well earlier this morning I heard a crackling sound right under the battery over the screen while I was in class I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 2.9Ghz Intel Core i7, I had just recently changed the battery and am afraid that the new battery is giving problems. Every time I put the computer on the side I hear the crackling sound like going from one end to the other end and when I flipped to the opposite side it does the same thing again. What can this problem be?

I am having this issue with a 15" 1TB model.

My theory is the adhesive behind the panel is unsticking as it warms up and settling again upon cooling down. It happens to me when I power down the unit too.

What is the repair for these units?

My wife has a MBP 13 2018 and I have to say that, so far, it feels a lot better than my 15" 2016 in every way. No pops, better keyboard and a faster response despite half the RAM.

Reading the responses here, I'm hanging on to my mine rather than seeking a perfect repair. Even repairs and new models can replace the problem with another sooner or later. I've looked at every make of laptop and, regardless of price, there always seems to be one issue or another. I've given up trying to find an ideal model and just get on with work!

Thanks for this feedback. It sounds like the most likely explanation. I may take mine in at some point but I can't afford to be without it for a long period. How long did they take to turn yours around if i may ask?

Thanks for this feedback. I may find a period when I can spare it for a week and follow this up. There has to have been a fundamental flaw for it to have affected so many machines. I’m hoping my wife’s 2018 model will have had it sorted.
