AMAZING ! this is the first time i decided to open a apple product and i follow all of your tips and instructions and i successfully replaced my screen !
Thanks for this amazing tutorial and link which helped me fix my Mac book pro screen replacement and purchase without issues. It took an hour but need to be confident and careful.
Excellent video :many thanks .I have a Late 2016 touch bar 15 inch Macbookpro with the flex cable disaster problem : black screen . I will start dismantle it following this video and then decide to buy the screen alone or the whole assembly .
Just wanted to say thanks for this video. Helped me swap the screen/lid on my MBP 2016. Just a note: near the end you skip over some of the steps to reconnect the screen: just after the antenna is reconnected you jump to the battery. Not a big deal as I went back to the beginning of the video and used the disassembly steps to get the screen back together.
Great work 👍 apologies if you have answered this questions already, but what’s sizes of adhesive do you recommend and also the small blades that are used to remove the old tape ? Thank you 🙏
@@fixapplenow screens from china works in MacBook pro touch bar?, I read in forums that Apple restricts the use of pirated screens, so that we only buy originals, is that true?
we made it work! thank you for your video! took us 6 hours to replace the screen and we only use your vid as a guide. although it doesn't close enough. when i close the screen, it hangs a little. I don't know where the problem is. It's hard to go through to the disassembling it again. any tips on that so it would snap close fully when screen is fold down? aside from this we made the LCD worked again. thanks for your video!
I have screen issue with my MBP 2016 13", the screen is flickering after I using the macbook for a while. I think because of the heat from the fan. I wonder where I could buy a replacement screen for it. Is it similar to replace the screen on MBP 13"?
Nice video. I have the same Mac and just realised that the display cables and the backlight cables (25:06) are exposed on the outside of the computer. You can see those four cables when the computer is closed and flipped on the front. when you closely down the fan exhaust, right at the middle of the black plastic bar, those four cables are exposed, and can easily be damaged when cleaning out that groove. I have nearley broke min, by bending the edges of the wires, when i was cleaning dust out of that groove withe a small stick with some cloth on.
After i replaced my screen (i purchased another on ebay. I purchased a full lcd with bezel and everything so it was just remove the old and install the new ) but after i did that. The light. For keyboard doesnt. Turn on. And the option on setting/keyboard does not appear, its there a flex or conector that i have to check? Keyboard works fine. But light on it doesnt come on
The MacBook pro 2017 has the same LCD as the MacBook pro 2018? The 13" one ? Thank you and appreciate the hard work!! And where can i get the scroll driver?
For those of you who don't want to do this; Just rub some of the reflective coating off the screen, then bring it to Apple and tell them you have some issues with the reflective coating. There is a replacement program availble which also covers accidental damage (cracks/etc) They will replace the screen for free.

@@OskarBlomkvist you're a lifesaver bro, thank you ! just booked an appointment at the Genius Bar. On the phone they said they'll replace the screen for free so long as there is no accidental damage, won't the hairline crack on my screen count as accidental damage and void the replacement ?

Hello. I have trouble on my Macbook Pro 2017, touch bar. A year ago, it starts flickering. I do not have enough money to fix it by LCD replacement. So, what I did was when the screen starts to flicker I just close it for a few hours and use it again. It takes only 15mins before flickering again, so, as I student its kinda hassle. Then, there was this online friend of mine who told me that I do not need to have an LCD Replacement, I just need to fix the flex. So, I want to ask you, if ever I fix the flex on my laptop is it a good move? Or do I really need to have an LCD replacement?
My screen is not working, i did not hit it in any way, i just closed it and opened it later and found that the screen was grey and had vertical multicolor lines, as i move the pointer i can see one of these lines move (vertically), do i have to get my screen replaced? :(
thx a lot for your video- I was searching or hours to find a fix for loose hinges in the mbp 15" 2016. a1707 touch. bar- and. I tried to figure out, what to do by all the steps you showed in this video... still not quite sure what and how I get underneath this hinge-cap... could you give me a hint? thx a lot
I would love to know that as well. Are those screws under the screen fixing the hinge too, or only the panel? My MBP 2016 has a loose hinge to but not sure how to make it more tight without buying a new screen.... Thanks
Nice guide btw i realized there is a tiny gap on the left bottom of my screen between MacBook Pro plate and the rubber .Do you think the screen will get dust from here?
I have a macbook pro touch bar 2018, the central flex is damaged, I want to format it, but on the external screen it does not show me the boot options, it only shows me from the beginning of the session, how can I do so that the external screen shows me System boot to format?

Hey I wanted to get screen housing. My screen is perfect but the metal housing is been damaged you know where I can get housing for MacBook Pro 15 2017 touchbar
So If I buy the whole LCD screen, I would legit have to unscrew and unplug.. and put it back? I ask cause it looks fairly easy despite the hassle of getting the tools
I'm looking for a new screen for my 2016 macbook pro a1707 and i'm looking to get it replaced any links for a screen? it's a space gray and what do you think is a reasonable price for a company to charge for labor? thanks
Cool video! Could you please tell me what order the backlight film goes in? There are 4 or 5 pieces of film that go in between the LCD and the back cover and I;m not too sure what order they go in. Thankyou
There is no real way to tell you the order of the sheets because some of them look very similar. If you do remove them to say replace the LCD backlight/ camera flex, you need to note carefully their order and orientation.
Hello. My screen isn't broken, but in the top bar, there is a horizontal stipe flickering. The no. of horizontal lines increases with time. Do you have any solution? It would really mean a lot if you help me out here.
I know this is fairly old but recently my phone like slid on my laptop and broke the part next to where the MacBook Pro writing is, the screen is fine but if I move it too much or touch it lines will appear. when I go get it fixed will they be repairing the whole screen?
I dropped my 2016 MacBook Pro on the concrete because it fell out of my book bag. It didn't damage the computer as far as functionality but I damaged the housing and indented it. How much would it cost to replace the screen housing and the upper housing where the keyboard is?
hi, My MBP2016 can only light when the screen is opened at an angle less than 45 degrees, and the screen is black at a angle greater than 45 degrees. Do you know why?
This issue is commonly referred to as Flexgate - the little flex cable breaks from stress after opening and closing many times. you have to replace whole screen as shown here.
Before testing the new display, did you replug the battery board data cable and the battery power connector? Can you power the MacBook Pro on without those connected? Or do you damage the device?
Great video, very good explanation without talking too much, i woul like you guys to replace my screen anyway, if you can send me a contact way i will send my computer for repair. Thanks
AMAZING ! this is the first time i decided to open a apple product and i follow all of your tips and instructions and i successfully replaced my screen !

Thank you 🙏
this wouldn't help with fluxgate would it?

Hey man in what page can I buy the LCD, I love in South America an I´dlike to order one. Nice Job!
Would this be applicable on a 13 in touchbar Macbook ?
What kind of glue holds the screen in place? I notice with heat the screen it is easier to be removed.
Double sided adhesive tape.

That is correct. Those flex cables are exposed. But the clearance between the screen and the body is so small that it’s almost impossible. Thank you

If you mean the rest of the computer, the answer is yes but you would have to disconnect the LVD's cable inside the laptop.
