sorry for not being clear. I found this image on the internet, similar to my screen.

Exact problem like this guy: https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/482777/...lid+half+closed

I just opened the MBP one day and the lines appear! I didn't do anything else.

Apple only offer free replacement for 2016 13-inch on flex gate issue. Any other model they no offer and subject to case-to-case. For country that have official Apple store you might have better chance. But if your unit have cosmetic defect like dent they can easily refuse it and says it’s physically caused.

hi guys, wanna ask about changing iphone battery.
according to switch website or machines, they could take a day or more if required.
another point is they will do a factory reset.

so my question is:
1. why do they need to do a factory reset?
2. after reset, what will happen to all my phone data?
3. itunes is no longer supported by new windows. how do i backup my iphone fully or most of it? especially contacts and settings?
4. how reliable is 3rd party battery?

thanks.

While this topic is mainly for Mac. I will answer you in general.

1. they will likely need to run test to verify the new battery are working properly. without the need of you sharing your passcode or risk on leaking your personal detail. standard SOP from Apple. Unlike MacOS we can boot via external drive and bypass user data.
2. reset means everything gone.
3. use cloud backup. iCloud for example.
4. this is subjective, do your own background check on them. battery replacement is not that complicated, some service provider should able to do it on the spot in front of you, that you be sure they won't touch your personal data. but there is still risk if they are not professional, opening the device will alway have risk.

The service centre charges RM 2.3k for repair.

I want to cry.....

Yes. Display is always not cheap. Want all the best color, retina and slim. It come in cost. Let's put it other way around, when you buy the Mac cost 5-6k (at lease), the display make up huge part of the Mac.

my MBP is about 8k.

and I asked about the butterfly keyboard that they are supposed to change for free, but since I dropped my MBP once, it voided the warranty so they can't change it for me for free. Sigh .....

so should I get a new Macbook Air instead? Or a new iPad Air? How much can I sell this 2018 MBP touch bar now, with this type of screen?

You can sell it off for parts. We are buying.

oh..... how much are you buying for 2018 MBP, touchbar with 4TB3?

Hi there.. dunno where to ask, hopefully u guys can help me here.. Need your suggestion.

Is it worth to buy Apple Care to extend warranty period for MBP 16 USA set? If any issue happen, the warranty cover by apple USA right? not Apple malaysia? can we stil send to apple malaysia for warranty claim?

For a >RM10k device it is no brainer to skip the ACPP.
Yes you can, laptop are meant to travel.

Hey there, has anyone experienced crackling speakers on their Macbooks?

My 15 inch 2015 MacBook Pro recently started exhibiting symptoms of blown out speakers, especially when playing bass-heavy sounds - was wondering if anyone here could point me to a solution that won't break the bank

Woofer cracked. Very normal. You will need to replace the speaker assembly.

Ah alright, any idea how much that would cost?

Search in lazada or shopee.. got sell.. just get the model number correct

Help to sign and spread the online petition for Apple to do recall for all flexgate affected MBPs. http://chng.it/r2ksXGYdQX

Mine crack until no sound at the moment

Apparently it seems to be related to overheating ... does your unit horizontal lines goes away when the MBP running cool?
