MacBook pro, FLEXGATE problem
« on: February 03, 2019, 02:11:46 PM »
I bought a new MacBook pro in September for my grandson. And about 2 weeks ago, the display started to act very strange. We did not buy AppleCare, as we have had so little problem with any Apple products.
Took it to our local independent Mac store, they did not have a clue.
We found this, which explains it well,

We have a 1 year warranty on it, but no real Apple store anywhere near us.

Ive just started working on this, now that we know what is wrong.
I did call Apple, but they are dodging the issue. 
My grandson needs it daily for school, so we dont want to send it to Apple repair.

What a disappointment!  This is sad, it cost a lot of $.
Any advice?
