Just got back from north point. Hand down the explanation of the representative here are much better than my previous visit in KLCC service centre.(shout-out to those who recommended me to pay them a visit) Right now they’ve taken in my mba for technician inspection.

However, there’re still a small drama today between the me and the technician instead of the reps. But thank god they are willing to run more inspections before jump into conclusion that it’s not covered by warranty because the reps notice the hinge problem when he first touch my mba. Hopefully they are willing to change the hinge for me.🙏🏻

Any updates on this? My hinge starting to pop way more often also lol.

Side question to the forum also; anyone here knows a good seller for USB-C/Thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable? Trying to run my ultrawide directly connected to my M1 MBA instead of through a HDMI port on my dock.

Been communicate with Machines Technician via email the next day after I sent it. rclxm9.gif

They’ve ran a few test on the WiFi and no issue being found thru all their test so I think it really might be my wifi is doing no good to this laptop(as per someone here mentioned earlier).
Speaking of the hinge, they have ordered a new part to fix the hinge issue and will let me know once it’s completed. The part is estimated 4-7working days to arrive and I assume it’s shipped from oversea as they mentioned it might be delay due to custom clearance(P/S :I didn’t ask what they ordered to fix the issue but the great news is it’s covered under apple warranty tongue.gif )

I think will be ready to collect by next week and will let you know once I got it .

Nice that means they are acknowledging it could be a manufacturing defect. Might want to send mine over too while its still new.

Did you try the network cable with another machine/laptop? Does it work there? Do you have a screenshot of your network settings?

I am using an external USB-C hub with an ethernet port, no issues for me.

That's unfortunate but you still can keep it unopen and resell it. Im sure someone will want to buy it considering we have to wait ~3 weeks to get one from store.

That was extremely quick! Did you get a custom order or a base model?

Sounds like your Macbook Air uses a Thunderbolt 2 port or also having the same shape as a Mini Display Port. You need a mini display port to HDMI connector.

Suddenly got an email saying my laptop is ready to collect last night then I immediately collect my laptop back this morning, so far the hinge issue was gone rclxm9.gif but I think need time to observe about it.
However, the wifi issue still persist despite the technician had ran few round of test about it and I'm using my relatives home wifi now. Not sure is this linked to unifi because both of our home are using unifi too. hmm.gif

haha okay everyone having very different issues. my bluetooth still randomly disconnecting even with the Big Sur update. connectivity to ultrawide monitor improved but still fails sometimes. thinking to connect directly with TB/USB-C to Display Port.
