Hi all,

I recently replaced my M1 Macbook Air screen after accidentally cracking it and ran into what looks like the flexgate issue on the replacement screen (from iFixit) after a day of use. I then returned it and got another replacement screen and the same thing occurred after a day or so of use. I was wondering if there is something else that could be the issue as I find it hard to believe two replacement screens in a row would have the same exact issue. Even stranger is that if I put the laptop to sleep and wake it back up, often the effect will be gone, and only after changing the brightness does it re-appear.

Given that iFixit sells used displays, I wouldn't be surprised if both replacements were bad.
