I did this repair for the first time today and I used your method - the job turned out great so thank you its much appreciated! I couldn't get the two flex's to solder together for the first couple of goes but as soon as I added a big blob of solder to the iron to give it the extra heat needed they bonded together lovely. Thanks again!
unfortunately did not work for me. how can you be sure that you don't solder 2 cables together or when putting it on top of the other it is perfectly aligned?
Alhamdulillah all praises to our lord! Master Liu! This video helped me a lot! I have tried this on my MacBook Pro A1707 2017. I followed your tricks exactly. First operation wasn't successful & I got afraid but I succeeded on my second operation. My MacBook Pro 💻 are now totally 💯 ok ✅. I'm grateful to you. Thanks a lot.
Wow… I just followed the iFixit guide to open the MacBook and then your guide regarding the cable, and now the screen turns on again. I still have „stage light“ but not sure if it is because I „repaired“ just one cable or did something wrong - anyhow at least the screen working again! Thank you SO SO MUCH
Hello people. How much longer cable can be made? As i understand this ir common problem because of cable too short. How much longer cable can me kept after soldering compared to original lenght?
Hi Master Liu, I have a question. I have a power button / touchID FOR MacBook Air A2337 , the cable is too short for me to attempt this. Can I just transfer the chips over to another button and if so will this keep Touch ID ?
I'm going to have to try this, my screen has always been dead, i bought it cheap to use with external monitor, it just goes white usually with lines running vertically, a big black line just off center and 3 thinner ones. but when it tries to work you can see most of the screen but get the big line near the middle and the other thinner ones still, and it tends to flicker a lot with no relation to the hinging of the screen.. could well be the cable.
Solder maintains contact and isn’t really meant to hold things together. I would imagine that without the tape the connection it likely to break faster.
One side has the substrate so if you scrape that away all that you will have left is the fragile copper foil traces. This way the substrate remains intact
how to prevent it ? i just bought an 15'' 2016 max out and i want to prevent this.. i bought it from amazon like "(Renewed)" and work fine but i wanna protect it and i don't have an amazon store in my country yet.
I have a 2017" 13" MBP. I Just keep the lid open all the time, to not put any stress on the cable. I use my laptop always on my desk though, I almost never move around with it. If you have to travel and open the lid regularly, then I would try to avoid opening the lid at max possible angle, as it gives most stress to the cable.
Why not use the proper flat cable with the right extra length? I thought it should be available aftermarket, Apple as well released an upgraded version of it if I’m not wrong…
this fix is very stable... a lot of us who are well known about this issue from a long time , we fix and provide 1yr warranty on the very same problem.
@@sajwhat Hi, I am about to attempt this. May I know if the smaller pins in the middle shorted will it cause problem to the display or just no display? I just wanna make sure if I mess the solder nothing will go bad.

Hello
- What kind of solder paste do we need? may you can gimme an ali-link :)
- How many milimeters do we need to scrape?
Thx a lot
After watching this , I will go for it now. Was thinking of giving it to someone to sort it out
after 9 months of consistent opening and closing of the laptop, have you noticed any issues with this method?
Backlight still working after your repair? ;)
unfortunately did not work for me. how can you be sure that you don't solder 2 cables together or when putting it on top of the other it is perfectly aligned?
Thx for this great tuto!!
2 questions:
- What kind of solder paste do we need?
- How many milimeters do we need to scrape?

"all praises to our lord" Does he fix Macbooks too ????😄
@@MrPnew1 why you gotta pick on people like that? We muslims praise God all the time and for everything we have.
Was your Screen full black after First try? I did The Method today, but No Backlight anymore :(

where to buy the flexible calbe..please the part number?
For how long did this repair hold?

Thank you very much Master Liu! This Tutorial saved my loved MacBook Pro 13
Hi guys, does anyone know where I can buy the iron that he uses to heat the glue?
can i do same thing if i have issue with screen cable(pink lines on whole display)?
can change all the flex ¡¡??
Hi I know this was uploaded from a while ago, but does the black tape matter? Or can I just leave the cable as it is? Thanks
Solder maintains contact and isn’t really meant to hold things together. I would imagine that without the tape the connection it likely to break faster.
多谢，按照你的这个方法，尝试多次后终于成功了😄
Apple engineers, why make things so fragile and difficult to repair!! hahahaha
really love all your jobs, lots of knowledge
Thank you
Please add more repair lessons
Nice!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 good technique
Screwdriver set?
Do you need to do this for both side just to be safe ?
Awesome techniques sir
thanks for the solution!!!
Very practice. If it worked bravo
YOU ARE TRULY A MASTER
Where I can buy the screwdriver set??? Somebody know?
Brilliant! Love it. Thanks for sharing
Nice technique 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What kind of tape was used at 4:00? Was it a vinyl or some other material? Was it electrical tape or splicing tape? Thank you for the video!
It is tesa tape. Although I prefer kapton tape as its thinner.
@@Dimma205gti Probably part of the reason for the tape is rigidity so it won’t break again, kapton may be too thin
And Apple wants me to replace the entire monitor + labour cost at £565!!! What a joke.
yes, it's expensive,
Same as me!
Ridiculous
Y u didnd change it without solder flex cable
Very Impressive 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You fix this and how much do you charge?
Awsome job done 👍
👍👍👍good job master
amazing..
usefull cheap solution
Excellent! The best video on this repair! Thank you!
why not scrape of the other side of the cable so that there is no dent?
One side has the substrate so if you scrape that away all that you will have left is the fragile copper foil traces. This way the substrate remains intact
how to prevent it ? i just bought an 15'' 2016 max out and i want to prevent this..

keep the display open and never close it.
Beautiful!
Hello sir are you in China I have the same issue with my MacBook. I don’t use it any more and I can’t repair it. Can you help me out?
yes ,I'm in China
any ebay link ?
This looks very hacky how can you be sure there won’t be a short in the future
Even if there is a short, it would be fine as drivers would stop giving voltage to it
Yes, it will not be short, it should be noted that you need to add some curing glue
@@3ijnweu3oq3 really? There's a protection for short between LCDBKLT and GND, and driver will detect it?
exactly dont do it go and pay $630 to apple make them rich yayy so cute
How much it cost??? Anyone please
How much you charge
Nice master
焊接这种排线的温度不宜过高，300-320就差不多了

@@kamalyazid4291 It will not be short, the middle is only the signal line, and the power supply and grounding should not be connected wrongly.
charge $250 a repair and people would flock to you!
WOW

Anyone who has a spear / selling a display screen for MacBook pro A1708 13" 2016, let me know
You can get it done from apple itself as they have apple service programs for your model only

Hi,friend ,where are you from?
👏👏👏
i am just laughing at this. simply impossible for me to do. i also have a feeling that it won't last long.
Throw it in the trash. Never buy MacBook pros again. Don't give Apple the upper hand to continue screwing people.
You just helped me a lot. ☺️
