A1708 / EMC 2978 — Released October 2016, this entry-level MacBook Pro retains its traditional function keys (as opposed to the OLED Touch Bar). The function key version packs an Intel Core i5 and two Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Binding under the top case when moving the screen

My MBP late 2016 has developed a slight but noticable sticking point at the hinge. I can feel it under the top case just above the function keys. It feels like the case is being pushed up slightly when I open or close the lid at the 90 degree angle. Apple previously repaired the screen for the stage lights issue and then replaced the battery due to early swelling. Maybe it's related to one of those repairs?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?
