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
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.
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.

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.
Can you fit an SSD while it’s here?
Yes. This model uses a removable apple ssd blade, and swapping to an SSD at the same time is often the best-value upgrade you can make.
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.
