Need a screen replacement for your MacBook Pro 14 & 16-inch M1/M2 Pro & Max? We carry out this work in-house at our London workshop, with a fixed quote before we start.
The mini-LED XDR display assembly is expensive, so we diagnose carefully first, checking the cable, backlight driver and board. If the panel itself is damaged, we fit a full assembly. On Apple silicon Macs features like True Tone may rely on Apple’s parts pairing, and we explain what to expect before you decide.
Blooming (a halo around bright objects on a dark background) is a normal trait of mini-LED, not a fault. We’ll show you the difference between that and a failing backlight zone.
About this model: The redesigned 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro (A2442, A2485, A2779, A2780) brought back MagSafe, HDMI and the SD card slot, and introduced the mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display. They’re powerful and generally reliable.
Signs it needs a screen replacement
- Cracked display
- Blooming or backlight zones out
- Lines or flicker
- No image
How we do it
Before quoting for a new screen, we connect an external display and inspect the display cable, so we know whether the fault is in the screen itself, the cable or the logic board.
On Apple silicon models, some display features such as True Tone may depend on Apple’s parts pairing process. We tell you what will and won’t work before you decide.
Every new display is tested for dead pixels, backlight bleed, brightness range and camera function before the Mac goes back to you.

Before you bring it in
Don’t press on a cracked screen to ‘test’ it, as this spreads the damage. If you have AppleCare+, check your cover first; we’ll help you compare.
Which model do you have?

Price
We give you a fixed quote for your exact model after a free initial assessment, before any work starts. All prices are subject to inspection, and nothing is done without your approval.
Questions we’re often asked
What parts do you use?
We tell you before fitting whether a part is an Apple original, a tested part recovered from a donor machine, or a high-quality compatible part, and the price reflects which you choose.
Will my data be safe?
Yes. We don’t wipe your Mac unless you ask. On this model the storage is encrypted and tied to its original board, so we never swap the board without explaining what that would mean for your data.
Do I pay if you can’t fix it?
No. If the repair isn’t possible, you don’t pay for it, and the free initial assessment costs nothing.
