If your MacBook Pro A1706 display works only at an angle, the issue is often related to the display flex cable or hinge-area wear.
Typical symptoms
- Screen turns black when opening beyond a certain angle
- Backlight cuts off, but faint image may be visible
- Issue worsens over time
Likely causes
- Display flex cable wear (Flexgate-style failure)
- Hinge stress / debris impact
- Less commonly: backlight circuit issues
