In this article, I want to tell you, dear readers, about a rather interesting, but at the same time not dispelled, myth - broken hinges on Apple laptop covers. There are still rumors on the Internet that supposedly, over time, when you open the laptop screen, it either starts to creak, or loses its former elasticity and starts to dangle in all directions. In especially neglected cases, the lid with the screen does not close at all, and then completely falls off, connecting to the laptop only through wires. In this article, we will try to deal with this problem, understand how real it is and whether we should think about buying a new Mac if such terrible things are happening to it.

To understand the essence of the issue, it is worth watching the video:

As you probably noticed, on one side the screen was slightly warped and a noticeable gap formed. It is quite clear that the source is the same mythical loop, with a light touch of which the laptop lid begins to randomly shake, making a characteristic sound. Surely, with prolonged use, such a faulty mechanism will not take long to wait, and one of the hinges on which the screen is held will simply break. But for now, let's leave this unfortunate buyer to the potential breakage and get to the heart of the matter. It is only worth noting that the video shows the very first MacBook Air, introduced in 2008.

The essence of the problem we are investigating lies in the fact that after 1-2 years of use, almost all Apple laptops begin to show difficulties with opening the screen, a characteristic crunch appears, and sometimes the hinges completely wedged.
After visiting Apple's official support page, where users usually talk about their pressing issues, I couldn't find anything related to this topic, basically everyone is trying to paint the problems of the new iPad. Then I decided to turn to professionals in this field who have been repairing Apple laptops for a long time. The answer came right away - their service appreciates the nerves of users already annoyed by the breakdown.

Hinge problems with Apple laptops are extremely rare. Most models of recent years have silumin loops, which have proven themselves well. If necessary, they are adjustable both in strength and in position. Most mechanical problems after a long time of use are usually caused by the ingress of foreign particles into the hinges. For example, household dust, sand, and even the appearance of mineral deposits.

Any problem that occurs even in a statistically insignificant percentage of cases on the Internet is always blown up into a world problem. But there is a case when problems with loops ceased to be casuistry. The first model of the MacBook Air had a "childhood illness" - over the years, the hinges began to collapse.

They also quickly answered me from another, no less proven, service center called "MacFix":

There are various problems with loops. Most often treated with the first generation MacBook Air. Attachments to the body break at the hinges. On the MacBook Pro (models 470/471), the frame that holds the hinges from the back cover often flies off. This happens due to poor quality glue. On white MacBooks, the oil in the reverse hinge mechanism often dries out, but the creaking is usually due to deformation of the case. In any case, each situation is individual.

On the latest MacBook models, this problem does not exist. As a rule, all defects arise due to mechanical influences. With instructions in hand and hands from right place, you can get to the hinge stem, remove the display module and lubricate the hinges with oil yourself.

From all this, it turns out that the problem was most common in the first models of the MacBook Air (which is in the video above), the problem rarely affects other models of Apple laptops (and if it does, it is not caused by wear, but by a lot of dust), and in If it occurs, you can eliminate it, but you should not do it yourself:

I do not recommend doing it yourself to avoid damage to sensitive elements by static. Well, because the correction after an unqualified repair is the most frequent reason for contacting our service center. — service center «MacFix».

Finally, I advise you to watch one more video, which could also contribute to the growth of our myth with you (I hope now completely dispelled?). It compares the hinge capabilities of the two MacBook Pro models and shows that the updated laptop's screen lid (located on the right) has been significantly improved (including the hinge mechanism), opens very smoothly, but is unable to stay flat under its aluminum chassis.

I really hope that you enjoyed my little investigation into the truth of the myth, and I will be glad knowing that MacBook users can now be calm about their favorite computers, just like the author himself.

I would like to express my special gratitude to the DeepApple and MacFix service centers for such detailed and prompt answers on this issue.

One of the vulnerable elements of Macbook laptops are the hinges (hinges) connecting the case and the screen. During operation of the laptop, the hinges may break, make a creaking sound, or become very loose. Repair of case hinges should not be postponed for for a long time, since their breakdown creates inconvenience during everyday use of the laptop. A screen hinge failure is not covered by the warranty, and therefore you will have to fix this malfunction yourself or use the services of a Macrepublic service center.

How to fix matrix loops?

Despite the apparent simplicity of installing new matrix hinges, this is a complex procedure that requires a professional approach to complete. Replacing the matrix hinges requires removing the thin and fragile display frame. At the slightest inaccuracy, the frame can bend and visible defects will remain on it. Macrepublic service center staff perform repairs taking into account the characteristics of each laptop model. For some models, repairs are carried out as follows:

• 1. First, using a thin blade, the adhesive layer is cut off and the screen frame is separated along the entire perimeter. In this case, it is important not to damage the loops placed under the frame.
• 2. If the hinges are only loosened, you need to securely tighten them, after placing them horizontally relative to the display.
• 3. In case of a more severe breakdown (thread breakage or mechanical damage), new hinges are attached. They are fixed on bolts screwed into the topcase and body.
• 4. As a final step, using a special adhesive, the display frame is glued to its original place.

Professional problem solving

Only the correct execution of each step will eliminate the breakdown and operate the laptop without any problems. Therefore, it is advisable to entrust this procedure to the employees of the Macrepublic service center. Repair of matrix loops is carried out by professionals quickly and efficiently.
