13 inch Macbook Pro A1708 (2017) screen replacement

About a month ago, my daughter's Macbook screen started showing some irregularities. Upon further investigation, there appeared to be a crack in the lower left hand corner. A repair shop quoted us nearly $600 to replace the screen. Since I had previously replaced the SSD with my daughter, I felt comfortable giving the screen replacement a try, especially after watching some youtube how-to video...

The last two hatchlings leave the nest. It was very interesting to observe how adult finches congregated outside our foyer,where the nest is located, to "help" the hatchlings fly to the nearest tree. I also like it how themother finch came and fed the last hatchling one more time and shortly thereafter it flew out of the nest.

If anyone knows something about it, I will greatly appreciate it. Also I have connected a USB audio interface because I work with music and does not seem to work properly after the install.

    I changed mine last month (Jan-21) to 512GB using the same sabrent rocket ssd and it works fine so far. Did noticed the battery life take a dip but not a major concern. What I found out the trickiest part was to format the drive in recovery mode as it didn’t mount and had to reboot again to start the process. After that due to some issues I could not install the OS as the drive was in HFS+ not APFS as that option wasn’t available at formatting stage. After some googling and youtube tutorial search, I managed to make the drive formatted as APFS and install the OS afterwards. It was quite an experience for me and quite satisfied with the result as well..Now I don’t have to be very mindful of what I keep in the macbook compared when to it had measly 128 GB. Planning to upgrade it to either 1 TB or 2 TB in couple of months time as those have higher write speed than the 512 GB version.

      HI Khalis, thanks for sharing your experience and glad everything is working! I do remember we had some issues formatting the new SSD , and I recall that the APFS option was not very obvious in the choices presented when asked to format. I think we had to change a different option, then the APFS option came up. Sorry its kind of vague. Glad you figured it out!

      I've upgraded my A1708 to the Sabrent 1tb from the stock 128gb in December 2020. I went to install a fresh copy of the OS from a bootable Mojave USB, but Mojave's Disk Utility doesn't allow you to format your new drive to APFS. But you can format the drive for APFS using Terminal instead. After installing the OS I booted the Mac into Safe mode to clear caches, then I reset the PRAM and Power Management and enabled the TRIM command in Terminal. So far I am not having any battery drain issues or, as some have reported, the flashing question mark that sometimes appears if you boot the Mac with power connected. The only thing I have noticed is, that after a few days of continuous use, the mac starts to stutter and slow down. A shutdown and restart clears this for me. It is not a major issue for me; the benefits of having so much more storage space out weighs this one niggle. I used the iFixit website as a guide to doing the upgrade.

      @@d3fenc367 Good to know that it works alright for you too. I just knew about TRIM command when you mentioned it as I have never heard everybody else talk about it. For me there is no noticeable slow down as I always shut it down after done using it and occasionally let it in sleep mode especially when I’m out for a short while..nothing of major concern so far. I fully agree the benefits outweigh the cons and pretty happy with that!

      @@wenchunfan Yeah the APFS option wasn’t that obvious and to be honest it was quite nerve wrecking as well as I thought I had screwed it up, my mbp is gone!

    How do you put the SSD on the adapter? My adapter came with a bolt and nut but the bolt is not fixed under the adapter. Does the bold go under the adapter, then SSD and then you screw it together?

      Hi Vincent! I remember that i did not have to afix the bolt to the adapter. All I had to do is slide the SSD onto the adapter and use one of the small screws to afix it. I used a 2242 SSD. It appears that if you use a 2230 SSD you may have to do what you are describing, using some additional screws/bolt that were included with the adapter ina clear plastic bag. Hope this helps!
