Every MacBook display repair is completed by an Atlantis technician with over 20 years of experience in micro-electronics and Apple hardware. We understand that transparency is key; before booking, you can verify your model's eligibility for the official Apple Service Program. If Apple won't cover you, we will. We also provide expert MacBook motherboard repairs in our Canterbury workshop.

We believe a repair is only as good as the materials used. For your Flexgate fix, we use:

• High-Flex Extension Cables: Specifically sourced to withstand thousands of lid opening and closing cycles.
• Leaded Solder Alloys: These provide superior flexibility compared to factory lead-free solder, preventing joints from cracking under hinge pressure.
• Kapton Thermal Shielding: High-temperature polyimide tape is applied to insulate the micro-soldering work, matching Apple’s internal specifications.

Your Atlantis technician follows a precise protocol to ensure your display is restored permanently:

1. Model Verification: We confirm your MacBook identity via the Official Apple Guide to ensure correct cable alignment.
2. Precision Extension: Under 40x magnification, we extend the backlight flex by 3-4mm, effectively "curing" the design flaw.
3. Hinge Adjustment: We calibrate the hinge torque to ensure smooth operation without straining the new cable path.
4. Cycle Stress Test: The lid is cycled 50 times under thermal benchmarking to guarantee bond reliability.

Hardware Safety: All repairs are conducted in an ESD-safe environment to prevent static damage to sensitive logic board components.

Data Privacy: We value your security. Since this is a hardware display repair, we do not require your login password. Your personal files and data remain completely private and untouched.

What is the Flexgate issue on MacBook Pro 2016? It is the failure of the display backlight flex cable, resulting in vertical bright spots (stage lights) or a completely dark screen.

What causes the Flexgate issue? Friction and tension. Because the cable wraps around the hinge so tightly, the thin copper traces inside the cable fracture over time.

Is it worth repairing a MacBook Pro screen? Yes. A component-level repair at £160 is a fraction of the £600+ cost for a whole new lid replacement from Apple.

How is my laptop protected during return shipping? We use a sturdy box and bubble wrap to protect your MacBook, and return it via Royal Mail Tracked.

What is the cost of MacBook Pro Flexgate? At Atlantis, the repair cost is fixed at £160, including the micro-soldered cable extension and return shipping.

Is Flexgate permanent? Our repair is permanent because we add length to the cable, removing the tension that caused the original Apple cable to fail.
