Apple Flexgate Issue Repair

This is a common failure on newer Macbook Air, and Macbook Pro models, the flexible LVDS (video) cable only flexes back and forth so many times, until it develops stress cracks, and eventually breaks entirely. If your screen only comes on when it's at a certain angle, you are experiencing this issue. You no longer have to drop your laptop to break it, unfortunately.
