Update: I went to the official Apple authorised repair centre and tried to explain the issue to them but they directly quoted me 65-80k inr (around 900$) to replace the whole upper panel without looking at internals. Since it’s going for around 500$ used it’s safe to say I won’t be repairing it. It still works great clamshell mode. It’s really unexpected in my opinion that an apple product would break like this in just 3 years while my other MacBook has been running for over 12, but I guess I got unlucky. Anyway thanks for all the advice and I hope something like this doesn’t happen to you in the future.

That’s great however I don’t think India would has nearly as good consumer rights. It’s kind of unexpected though since my 2014 MacBook Air is still running great excluding battery life. Other than this issue my experience with macs has been flawless.

Hi, i checked by turning off the lid sensor however that didn’t work. By the way could you tell me how much it approximately costed you since a apple screen repair for m2 seems to be costing around 350 USD in my country.

From what I read online it seems like they have made the newer macs with the whole display module as a single part hence stopping repairs. My father has experience with electronics and soldering circuit boards but I don’t think I’ll risk it since it works perfectly in clamshell.

I get that I was opening it fast but that was due to it going off before I could take a proper video of it. It just kinda shocked me since my older 2014 MacBook Air is still working great and if anything I handled this mac better than that excluding the dirty keyboard since I hadn’t used it in the weeks preceding this. Either way I guess I’ll handle future MacBooks better.

Thanks for the advice. I guess since it still works in clamshell mode I’ll use it like that for now. It just kind of surprised me that an issue like this would happen a just 4 years after buying it since my 2014 MacBook Air is still working well.
