Apple has determined that a very small percentage of 13-inch MacBook Pro displays may exhibit one or more of the following behaviors:

Display backlight continuously or intermittently shows vertical bright areas along the entire bottom of the screen
Display backlight stops working completely

Affected devices were sold between October 2016 and February 2018. Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will service affected MacBook Pro units, free of charge.

'Very small percentage' MY ASS. You know how many we're getting in for repair?

Basically if your screen blacks out when opening more than 45 degrees angle, you can send it in for replacement free. The reason is below.
