MacBook Air 13" (M1) Display Assembly
The most common mechanical cause of flickering on the M1 model is fatigue or debris accumulation in the display flex cable (EDP). Because the cable is integrated into the display panel, the entire upper clamshell must be replaced to restore a stable signal between the logic board and the screen.
