Today I accidentally opened my MacBook to a higher degree than normally. Usually I open up the screen to 90-100 degrees. Today it was mir but still far away from 180 degrees. The screen did not went black or shows any sign of malfunction in general but I’m still anxious about having opened it too far lol. What’s the maximum angle and is there any mechanism to prevent you from opening it up too far?

You WILL KNOW if you opened it to far.

    If you didnt hear a loud cracking sound and your display still functions well, both in holding itself up and performing right, than its fine. The hinge will stop itself when you reach its max and to get it past that you will need to break the hinges.
