Chosen Solution
Hello, I would like to ask if the MacBook pro 16" 2019 (latest model with intel) still has problems with the display connection. On my previous MacBook Pro 15" 2016 my t-con board stopped working out of the blue (display image went off and never came back on, had to replace the display) and I was told it was a manufacturing defect and could happen again. Has this problem already been solved or could something happen to my new MacBook Pro 16"? I was also advised when troubleshooting the display that there are also wear and tear issues on the flex cable between the display and the bottom if I open/close the display frequently. Does this also apply to the 16" macbook pro? On the older model, I also had a problem with the anti-reflective layer coming off on the places where it touched the keyboard. Can this be prevented somehow? I read that using the original “paper” that was placed between the display and the keyboard will prevent this. Is it true? I’ve also read that this problem can be exacerbated by carrying it in a bag where something puts pressure on the display lid. Is there a case that would prevent this? Alternatively, do you have any experience with protective glasses / foils? Someone claimed that the foil helped him, while others claimed that it damaged the display because it creates pressure on the display from the inside. I’m also wondering if you have any tips, tricks, things to watch out for when using this mac so that it lasts as long as possible in perfect condition. Thanks for the answers
Well… it’s not that simple! All of the Intel models face a heat issue as the CPU & GPU chips are located very close to the T -CON board with the heatsink assembly, so heat will get to it cooking it! So what’s important is keeping the vents clear don’t run your system on a fluffy bed or shaggy rug as both will block the vents! Then yearly you need to clean the fan blades as well as the dust buildup within the system. I also strongly recommend installing a good thermal monitoring app so you can visually see your systems thermals and boost the fans RPM. I find this one as being the best CoconutBattery The design Apple went with a very thin display assembly also leaves the space for the cables to fit very tight. A bang along the black clutch cover or the glass chin plate just under the display can punch a hole into the cables or cause it be bind up creasing it. The earlier issue of a short cable on the backlight cable FlexGate issue which was an issue in both the 13 “& 15” 2016/17 systems. Apple did lengthen the cable in repaired systems and 2018 and newer systems. The newer M series run much cooler so the T-CON board doesn’t cook, the second wave systems even moved some of the logic to the main logic board which might improve image stability.
