The right hinge clicks when I fully open or adjust my MacBook lid. This noise can disappear after 2-3 clicks, but when I close the lid and fully open my laptop again the click sound is still here. I am out of returning period, but I still have an international one year warranty. I’ve owned MBP with M1 before and it also had the same problem with the right hinge. I’ve also had a lid replacement on my previous MacBook but the problem returned the next couple days after the repair. Some AASP in my country (Ukraine) said that it was normal, other said that there’s could be an issue with WI-FI antenna.

These two MacBooks have completely different design but the problem is still the same.

Is there any Apple engineers? Could you please explain why it happens exactly with the right hinge? Does Apple fix such an issue? What can I do if the problem returns after the repair over and over?

I also can hear a loud pop noise that sounds like rubber. It comes from the right hinge when I open the lid.

I have just unboxed my new macbook air m2 512GB and when i have opened the lid nothing happened. I plugged the charger and the apple logo came right away…

My question is, is it normal to recieve a brand new apple laptop whit no battery charge, or i have just got the bad luck of having a drained battery and i have to send it back?

What is the factory charge and how long is it last before doesn’t let you to turn on your brand new device?

Thank you in advance.

This is the info from coconut battery.

Found a new keyboard, however, I cannot find anywhere how to replace it.

Did anyone try already?

1. The M2 Air boots and connects to an external display via USB-C
2. Keyboard does not register clicks at login or any screen.
3. Trackpad doesn't register.
4. Nor does "force touch" seem to be in effect on the trackpad. There's no "click" feeling.
5. After about 5-10 seconds, the unit goes to sleep.

I've double-checked all the connections inside and everything that I disconnected during the display removal was reconnected, minus the display ribbon (since it's a headless Macbook Air now).

Any thoughts on what might be causing the listed issues above? I'm slightly suspicious of the Lid Angle Sensor possible getting damaged, but would that explain the keyboard & the trackpad not clicking or registering and the unit sleeping after 5-10 seconds?

Thanks so much!

I had a MacBook M2 Air, I cracked my screen and had some water damage, so I decided to remove the logic board and screen for drying.

After a few days, I reinstalled everything in the correct order, but the logitboard doesn't work at all.

Doesn't anyone know why and how to fix it?

Thank you so much.

However, I am curious if anyone else has seen this issue, or experienced it happen to them first hand? It does seem that people are discussing it on Apple's Community Page, so at the very least I know that these are not isolated issues.

P.S. The teardowns I've seen only show the parts connected to motherboard, but don't attempt to dismantle the screen.

anyone has any idea where to get a battery for my MacBook Air M2? (A2681)

I've tried to source it locally, but the repair shops here only lithium-cobalt batteries.

Any idea where I could get an original/as close to original battery as possible? I'm from Europe.

Thank you.

Mike.

If this was an issue with the LAS though, I would assume the keyboard and trackpad would start working after disconnecting it, though they still have no response. No click on the trackpad, no keyboard input.

Could it still be the lid angle sensor even if the problem remains after disconnecting it?

When the lid was open for awhile (15-30 minutes) I can hear kind of noise (click) when I close the lid. This click comes from the left hinge.

When I turn on my MacBook after being turned off/in a sleep mode for awhile it makes tick noise from the topcase. The noise is still here when you turn off and turn on MacBook immediately, but it’s only noticeable when you put your ear close to the top case.

MacBook’s bottom plate makes sticky sound when I easily press it.

AASP basically doesn’t see my problems. Some AASP would say that it’s cosmetic or every MacBook has it. I don’t have any Apple Store in my country, so they can’t make a refund or replacement. I’m just a bit sensitive to such noises and they bother me. I’ve also read threads about similar issues and people in the comments say that they don’t have any issues.

I really don’t know what to do 🫤

I have a MacBook Air M2 A2681 that got wet, after drying it the best i could, the thunderbolt ports have stopped working. How can I know if only the ports have been damaged or is it something on the motherboard? here on my country it is not easy to get a new port but i will try to get one to test.

I was able to remove them and tried to clean up with isopropyl alcohol
