What is Flexgate on the MacBook Pro A1707 and can you fix it in Bali?
Flexgate is a display cable failure caused by a cable that is too short for the hinge range — the cable tears internally after repeated lid opening. Symptoms start with a bright "stage lighting" band at the bottom of the screen, progressing to a complete dark screen at small lid angles. We fix it by replacing the display flex cable or the full display assembly. Apple ran a free repair program that ended — we offer competitive repair pricing.
My A1707 keyboard has keys that stick or don't register — is this the butterfly problem?
Almost certainly yes. The first-generation butterfly mechanism on the A1707 is extremely prone to key failure from dust and fine particles. In Bali's environment, this is one of the most common repairs we do on this model. The only proper fix is a full top case replacement. We have top cases in stock.
The Touch Bar on my A1707 is completely black — can it be repaired?
Yes. Touch Bar failures on the A1707 are usually caused by liquid damage or a failed T1 chip connection. We replace the Touch Bar assembly, which includes the OLED strip and the embedded T1 security controller. Repair takes 1–2 days and we test all Touch Bar functions thoroughly before return.
Is the A1707's AMD GPU failure as bad as the A1398 GPU issue?
Similar failure mode — BGA solder joint cracking from thermal cycling. The A1707 GPU runs hotter in its thinner chassis, and Bali's ambient heat accelerates the fatigue. We reball the GPU as the definitive repair. Success rate is high when caught at the early graphics glitch stage, before complete board failure.
How much does it cost to repair a MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar A1707 in Bali?
Costs depend on the fault — butterfly keyboard from 2,500,000 IDR, GPU repair from 3,500,000 IDR, Touch Bar from 2,000,000 IDR, screen from 3,500,000 IDR. We diagnose for free. Come to Jl Raya Kerobokan 106 or send us a WhatsApp message with the symptoms for a remote estimate.
