Horizonal lines on screen when over 90 degrees, fixed in sharper angle
Hi all
Last night I was using my macbook pro, I closed the screen and when I came back and opened it some coloured horizontal lines started appearing everywhere on my screen. When I keep the screen in a less than 90 degree angle the issue goes away.
I'm quite sure it's a 'flexgate' issue as my model is one of the models with highest chance to have this issue. I have 2 questions
1) Is it ok to fix this by my own? I have the right tools and have replaced 2 phone batteries and a screen from a mobile phone so I have a little experience
2) I guess this is the part I need (MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Touch Bar, Late 2016-2017) Display Cable)? My backlight is working well without a problem, it's just the vertical coloured lines so I guess only the display cable needs to be replaced?

Hi there
Today I went for it and removed the screen to inspect the LCD cables.
As far as I can see there is no visible copper from wear, just the cables who show bending signs on the places where it bends.
I guess the paint won't help here as the insulation is ok, it's just the cable who is worn out due to the bending I guess? I was thinking to give it a try with some electrical insulation tape, what would you do?
Thanks again!
