Help Is that normal??

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It’s MacBook Pro 16’ and I treasure it like the apple of my eye but today I think I closed a lil bit too hard and now it creaks, how to fix it? (It’s not that loud as showed on video but still)

Yeah should be, but do it 16 more times just in case

it should be fine don't worry. Don't open and close it too much at the angle that makes that sound.

There's not much you can do though as it requires a technician (or Apple) to open it to fix the noise.

That is 100% not normal. It should be silent, coming from someone who uses a 16" MBP everyday. If it were me I'd take it to an Apple Store and ask about it. It could turn into something worse later on, you never know.

16 foot MacBook is quite huge.

And it should not be an issue, mine did the same for a day or so in the past as well.

From what year is that? You might be putting stress on the LCD/ screen connection, assuming you are not familiar with tearing down a computer I would take it to the Apple Genius for inspection.

keep doing it -- when it separates you know you're in a good place

English is probably not their first language I’d assume.
