While I was streaming some videos on KZbin on my macbook pro, my display turned black. After I closed it and opened it again, it worked perfectly fine. After 15 min the screen turned black again and then 4 thin vertical purple lines appeared. I restated my laptop but it didn't work but when I closed the lid and opened the lid a few times the screen for ok for 2 second and then it again showed purple lines. Please help

[@starsingershankar]

i have a macbook air m1 2020 model.. have the same issue.. i shared your channel to the technician.. he tried, but he says my model is different than what you have shown , but it has not been repaired it. The screen works till an angle of about 80 degrees and that too only when i open the screen in an extremely slow pace with lot of patience.. looking forward to some inputs how i can repair.. the technician says i will have to replace the screen, but its too expensive

[@HamadBenaicha]

Sorry for the late reply, the Air 2020 does not have the flex cable issue, the problem is with the LCD and unfortunately you might have to replace it.

[@ganiyevuz]

I have similar issues like when my mac goes to sleep if i press power button sometimes it just goes black and i had to shut down and then on then it works but sometimes I close and then open again also works how this happens ?

Hi Hamad, I'm in the US. I would love for you to fix my MacBook, but I understand you only fix in Canada. My local Mac repair shop at well as Apple Genius Bar both said they don't solder, and Apple said my 2016 laptop is "vintage" and to replace the screen (which I don't want) plus labor is almost $700!! How can I find a local repair shop that will do the fix you showed in your video? Any help you can give would be much appreciated, thank you.

[@HamadBenaicha]

I am sorry Innerglow but I don't know anyone in the USA that would do that

[@TheMrbernz]

Good luck with finding somebody. After 23 years, I wont touch them any more . Why? mainly customers attitude on how "great" these Junkers are. Macs are expensive Foxcon crap and basically are throw away computers.

[@innerglowwellness5207]

@@TheMrbernz Sad to hear that was your experience. I've been a happy Mac user since 1989. And I did in fact find a repair shop that did the repair for me, and I'm thrilled to have my awesome 2016 MacBook Pro back up and running for another 7 years, hopefully! For those who are interested (clearly not you, Digital Wizard!), the repair shop is Rossmann Group in Austin, TX and they were great!

[@cacampbell9485]

Hello Hamad. Thank you for taking the time to show this to us. Sadly I'm far away in London so I'm going to attempt this myself and hope for the best. I have very little experience with this type of repair and I see this demands an exceptional level of soldering expertise but I'm hoping that having the same microscope you have (I'm a fine jewellery maker) will give me some confidence. could you please confirm that I need to connect 8 jumpwires from the cable to the base? and (this might be a stupid question) do the wires have to be insulated so not to touch each other? Thanks very much and I appreciate your impeccable skills!

[@HamadBenaicha]

hello, thank you for the note, there is in total 7 wires that need to be jumped and you are correct they have to be insulated as you don't want to short and kill the GPU.

I am thinking to buy a macbook for a repair that i want do do to make some money. I saw one on marketplace. An app in the netherlands where I live. It was a 2019 MacBook Pro 13 inch with the problem that the screen only works if it is between 70 and 100 degrees. I can buy it for 250 euro. But I am 13 so I have not much experience.I did some iMac’s. Also I have a question about an 2010 MacBook Pro. I am fixing it but I don’t get the operating system installed. I have a installation cd from apple self( OS X snow lepord). Made a Micro sd as start drive but it stops in the middle of the loading screen and I have an 128gb Samsung ssd installed inside. Can you give me an answer to try something new? I putted almost 10 hours in it but nothing works.

[@HamadBenaicha]

2019 MacBook Pro don't have Flex cable issues so it must be a faulty LCD that will need to be replaced. As for the 2010 try with a new SSD and do the installation in Recovery mode by just holding the Command+R key while the macBook loads, if it's still freezes after that it must be something wrong the GPU (I have fixed about 50 of them) with same problem. I hope this helps. Good luck.

[@lusine.khachatrian]

@@jadelacerda5704 I talked to Apple several times, they acknowledge it's their fault but do not help even if it's 1 day passed from the date they put on their website. I contacted the French organisation for consumers. They could actually help but you need to collect a lot of documents, pay for the service to do it or spend a lot of time to do it yourself. I decided not to waste my time on this shit company. By the way, in their store they did not even give 1 euro for that computer, considering that it did not work, even recycling for 1 euro. Can you imagine? And this company talks about CSR... I bought a new PC but mine does work until now with a half-opened screen. Good reminder to throw in the trash.. Apple is not a good company and it has the worst customer service. I wish many people file complaints for the dates they put. It's not fair.

Mine is not going entirely black but displaying the crazy colored patterns covering about 90% of the screen. I'm assuming it is the same issue since it is reproducible by tilting the screen back and forth. Yesterday, I was able to get it working in specific positions but today I got it working twice for 5 minutes only (in different positions). At one point, I was sending email with the lid 90% closed lol

If you get different colors that is a different issue unrelated to the backlight cable, you should have it checked by a local computer store.
