Need a screen replacement for your MacBook Pro 15-inch Retina? We carry out this work in-house at our London workshop, with a fixed quote before we start.
A cracked screen or peeling anti-reflective coating means replacing the full display assembly on the 15-inch Retina. We also rule out a faulty display cable or GPU before quoting for a new screen, as these can look like a screen fault.
About this model: The 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro (A1398) is still a capable quad-core machine. The 2012 and early-2013 models with NVIDIA GT 650M graphics are prone to video faults; later dual-GPU models also get graphics problems.
Signs it needs a screen replacement
- Staingate coating damage
- Cracked panel
- Lines on screen
- No backlight
How we do it
A cracked panel is obvious, but lines, flicker and dark screens can come from the cable or graphics circuit too. We test each before recommending a new display.
Every new display is tested for dead pixels, backlight bleed, brightness range and camera function before the Mac goes back to you.
