Is Apple ever going to extend MacBook Pro backlight repair program to include 2017 models ? I purchased my MacBook Pro in august 2017. In the month of March 2019, one day I was working on da Vinci resolve and suddenly my display turned off and display started showing white and black patches on the bottom on the screen and display only works below 45 degree angle. I soon found out that I was due to fault in the backlight cable length. The issue has been dubbed as #flexgate. So, it’s a manufacturing defect. Apple did launch a repair program for 2016 models with similar issue and I have been waiting for past 8 months for Apple to extend the program to include 2017 13 inch models. It’s very expensive to repair my Mac and I have already visited Apple service centre 3 times in India in Delhi and Chandigarh at Unicorn AASP. But I seems there is NO HOPE. Serial no: C0***V22.

Is my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2017 suitable for free flexgate repair? Hi there, I have a 2017 MacBook Pro 13 inch 2 thunderbolt 3 ports without Touch Bar, recently it started to show backlight and sometimes if I rotate the screen to different angles, the display will disappear but you can tell it is still working, if I try different angles the display may come back. Please see the screenshot. I checked from Apple official website in the flexgate page and input my serial number, it passed and said bring for repair or refund. But local apple shop said this is a 2017 version not a 2016 version so not within this program. My idea is since my serial number passed apple website checking, and it does have the backlight issue, so it should be qualified for this program? can anyone help answer this question? Thank you for your help!
