    MacBookr Pro M1 Pro (2021, 14") hinge sound and lid "stiky"

    Hi. Two problems with my MacBook. I have owned it for 2 years (both problems were from the beginning) 1) A strange "click" sound coming from the left hinge when closing. 2) If the laptop is closed for a long time, then the lid seems to "stick" to the case, which makes it difficult to open it...

    2016 Macbook Pro Hinge Noise

    I switched between 3 different configurations of the 2016 Macbook Pro, both non-touch bar and touch bar models. All three of the Macbooks made a somewhat quiet noise when opened, sometimes when closed. It sometimes sounds like a click, but other times it's a bit louder and sounds like a sticky...
