Hinges noise/ click from the top case and sticky bottom plate/topcase

@danj Thanks for your answer. Are the magnets located only on the left side of the lid? Because this noise more noticeable from the left hinge and click when I close the lid is coming from the left hinge. My MacBook’s lid is also weaker on the left side. I will try to explain. When I try to lift the lid for a bit from the left side it makes sticky sound and opens effortlessly, but on the right side it’s completely fine.

@danj I’ve just added video with bottom plate problem. I forgot to do it before.

@midnight77 - The magnets are glued around the lid circumference. Most are along the front edge. Given the fact you are squeezing makes me think they are coming unglued as you warp the case/lid parts. In truth that are stuck on with 3M adhesive which stays sticky.

Yes, it’s an annoyance! Get the AppleCare+ then give it a month and complain. This likely will require a new display assembly as Apple won’t dig into the display to refasten the magnets that are loose.

Mine macbook Air M2 have same issue (4th one) infact display down Bezel is making crackling and popping sound @danj

@aayushajay - No sure what I can offer you. If I’m reading your note this is the fourth system you have that has this issue?

What are you doing to cause this? Clearly something you are doing is creating the issue. Keep in mind three are thousands of these systems sold how is it you encountered four with the issue.
