When I open the lid, screen fades to white and goes flickery

I thought the 2018 model had been fixed?

I thought I would probably need new screen, ouch!!

Oh well better dig deep and shell out.

Thanks for replies

@alanhancock31

Yeah they ”fixed” it

In all fairness on the 2018 and above they did make the screen cables longer to try and avoid the issue but it unfortunately does still come about it’s just not as common

@hellomacos @alanhancock31 - Here’s a good write up on FlexGate https://www.ifixit.com/News/16943/macboo... and the 2018 onward systems don’t encounter the issue as you can see better explained here https://www.ifixit.com/News/13979/apples.... That still doesn’t mean you still can’t encounter a backlight issue! A good bang along the black clutch cover or something wedged between the uppercase and the display bottom edge (chin-plate) which is a thin piece of glass which covers the cables going to the LCD panel can be damaged. The backlight goes out, black not white
