just want to add to the voices admiring your instructional style! Thanks for not skipping anything or shying away from the difficult bits. First time doing a screen replacement on a mac this recent and decided to watch a vid over coffee first. Cant believe I felt the need a tutorial for a screen replacement but apples gonna apple I guess! haha thank you for a calm and enjoyable watch
2 years old and this video is still very useful. I like that you didn't skip over things that were unexpectedly difficult (like the wifi antenna being stuck). Thank-you for sharing the knowledge.
The connector you identified as the touch-bar is actually the open close detector for opening the display. I had to reuse mine as my display didn’t come with it. It is a single screw and is passively magnetically coupled to the hinge. So there is no other wiring to make. Great video my Mac is 100% functional now.
Great guide, only recommendation I would have for a more concise video is explaining what size driver you are using for each screw. The 8 screws that are extremely small for the Wi-Fi antenna is the same as a pentalobe driver, or a T3. Things like that help so much when the commentator explains that. Other than that, great video.
i completely agree with you.This would avoid us to keep trying screwdrivers until one matches. It would avoid some unwanted damages to the screws.The tutorial is still awesome.Thanks for all.
This was a great tutorial. I was nervous about it because it was my first macbook pro and the screens are fairly expensive. Got it replaced in under an hour and my customer is very happy
Please help me. What screwdriver do I need for the lcd motherboard. I have disconnected battery with 1.2 And the WiFi with t5 But the next step is the lcd and its really small. Which screwdriver is it
i spilt tea in my macbook and i fixed it using this video just undid the case, disconnected battery and cleaned it let it dry out for 48 hours reconnected battery ribbon cable and now it works perfectly thanks
What size screwdriver is the LCD Cable? The step before was the WiFi cable which is t5 and its not the 1.2 pentalobe. Its smaller but I really don't want to try the 0.8 incase I round it off
Hi mate this is so clear and concise. Thankyou!! I will be replacing my screen in the next few days. Other than p5 1.2mm for the main back casing and the p2 0.8mm for the wifi antenna do i need any other drivers? Thanks i've subcribed. ❤
Thank you for your expertise and sharing your wisdom. I made the mistake of stripping the WiFi cable to the logic board. In addition the 3 wires I can seem to reconnect. I need to fix this before I bring it in for service. If you could help I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks for the video but at 15:25 it's better to remove the angle flex cable totally from the screen and logic board and then carefully refit it after replacing the LCD AND all six LCD hinge screws are refitted and secured.
Thank you! I did this replacement but the display is not working. I don't know if it's a mistake that I made in the procedure or if the screen I installed is defective (it was used). Is there a way to check the display before installing, without going through all of these steps?
Can we replace one from another macbook pro 2019 into another one without apple doing any weird lock, my partner screeen on her is cracked and i have access to a used laptop same model, was wondering if i can just swap out the screen without any underlying issues from apple later on
Hi, great tutorial ! Could you please advise where can I get replacement screen ? I bought used one for 800$ and everywhere I look LCD replacement costs around 600-800$ almost same amount as the laptop itself....
I was able to follow your directions and I got everything to work except the camera. Maybe I missed connecting it? Do you know which one is the camera cable possibly?
4:18 i didn’t take off this cable I just removed the screw underneath it and unplugged the battery When I finished the process. No the laptop doesn’t work Please help me if there a way to fix it
For the 2019 MacBook Pro 2019 16 inch, it says it needs to enter Mac Configuration Utility when replacing the display due to the Lid Angle Sensor requires a magnet on the left hinge. Can the system still boot if the System Configuration step is skipped?
@@UbergeeksBiz Thanks so much for your reply. We are only replacing the DISPLAY ASSEMBLY - does this mean we are ok if we do not replace the touch ID? Will be purchasing a complete display assembly.

Where is the best place to find a cheap and compatible screen? Do you happen to have a compatibility chart or is there another computer that uses the same screen as the a2141? My maximum amount is somewhere in the $250ish price range, and I hope I can find one for cheaper.
Hello friends please could someone tell me any online store where I can get an original screen 2016 model A1707? I've seen that EBAY sells them, but I don't think they're original and I don't know if my macbook could have any incompatibility with those screens

For the common man, NEVER fix a MacBook yourself. My original screen cracked (because they are too thin). First replacement screen, same thing happened before I installed it. second replacement screen, I ripped one of the ribbon cables and stripped 4 of the screws. So that's 3 wrecked screens and a wrecked laptop. The screws are ridiculously small. I will never buy another Mac, never buy an Apple for that matter either. Sure I made mistakes, but Macs are garbage.
Great guide, I was able to successfully repair my first 16" macbook screen with your guidance, I just have a little bit of feedback. That cable you're referring to at 9:50 is not the TouchID cable. That is for the hall effect sensor for the screen. It's super easy to unscrew and transfer, but VITAL that it's not damaged in the process. This sensor is programmed to each specific machine, so if it is damaged, it will cause all sorts of issues. I do believe an independent repair tech was able to get around apple's proprietary programming in case it needs to be replaced. ruclips.net/video/Lxo6l_whDeE/видео.html
@UbergeeksBiz Thank you for such a thorough video. Can you please tell me if it's normal to have a wobbly/springy screen like mine. I just got my laptop from eBay refurbished and not sure if it's okay or I should return it. It feels very nicely firm when I open/close/adjust the lid but it has this unsual springiness to it, is something wrong with it you think? ruclips.net/user/shorts4furzOQcANg?si=r-u98US-Yla4dC1-
Over-engineered crap. Takes one screw driver to tear apart and rebuild a PC laptop. These pieces of crap require an entire tool set, everything on them is fragile and tedious to work on.
