[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1823075, member: 175845"] That sounds to me like the flat video cable that goes up to the screen through the hinges has been damaged and needs to be replaced. Otherwise you will have to place the screen into a position where it works normally each time you open the lid. I don't think there is any extended warranty in place that would cover the repair, but you can certainly check and see. If you are a DIYer type, you could check here and see if it is within your scope to replace it: [url=https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/MacBook-12-Inch-Retina-Early-2015-2017-Display-Cable/IF301-015?o=1]MacBook 12" Retina (Early 2015-2017) Display Cable - iFixit[/url] - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
