I'm posting this here because it fits the *title* of the thread. Anyway, do you know if the two different 2020 MacBook Pro...

Hi all, 2014 15" MBP, I dropped it on a rear corner, had to nudge the display a little bit back into center (visual: it was slightly off center from the top case when closed). Sometimes now when it goes to sleep it will not wake up and the fans turn on full blast, sometimes I will pick it up off a table with it on and it will shut off, and it has also just turned off while I'm typing or tapping. None of this happened before the drop. Shutdown cause (terminal command) is usually -128 (memory/gpu). But I can't reproduce it so I don't know what's causing it. Diagnostic startup showed no problems. I'm using the 85w charger. There's nothing damaged on the inside that I can find, nothing loose that I can find. any ideas????

I see that this thread isn't completely dead yet. What I was experiencing was a snow/static screen and a restart, and this would happen whenever I would edit a video. After trying everything I knew of, a reflow of the cpu/gpu is what solved the issue for me. No not in an oven, but using a bottom heater and a hot air station and flux. I previously tried/ruled out (1) using a Thunderbolt Display instead of HDMI (2) hard drive, including getting the same result with a clean installation of Mojave on external ssd (3) memory (4) heat/fan (5) virus/malware (6) power save settings (7) pram reset (8) diagnostic startup

Hi, I've stumbled on reports of this problem here and there, and having personally experienced it and fixed it, I can confidently tell you it's not normal, and it's not the hinge, it's the antenna bracket. Test first by removing the antenna and listen for the sound. You can somewhat compensate by placing the open MacBook keyboard down on a table and the display hanging off the front (the apple logo will be facing you), loosening the display hinge screws just a little and moving the lid about a millimeter away from the antenna bracket, then tightening the screws again. If this fixes the problem and you can live with the 1mm ridge you just created at the front edge of the MacBook, then you're in luck. If that doesn't resolve it or you want an invisible fix, and you're not concerned about warranty, then you need to remove the antenna and shave off again about a millimeter from a ridge that sometimes will interfere with the base of the lid's normal motion (see pic). You might be able to pinpoint the location...
