LOL the amount of people triggered when we called it "LCD". Even if we call it "14.2-inch (diagonal) Liquid Retina XDR Display" it doesn't change the fact that it was paired to the M1, and replacing the panel yourself will cause the Mini LED backlight behave erratically. You need to reprogram the display with AST2 to fix this, and you can only run this cloud software if you buy it from Apple.

Apple: Think Different.... ways to screw the customer.

Imagine repairing your own stuff! Apple, I hope there is a special place in hell for the ones that came up with this.

Only way is to swap Parade EDP controller IC and SPI ROM nearby from original display. This will get you rid of the calibration shadow problem.

we need reprogrammers for Mac display too now

man this sucks, these are generally good laptops, great optimization with macos, especially with apple silicon and all of that; but god forbid you wanna fix your device

We are close to being a federal criminal for trying to repair own Apple products.

You can swap LCD only but you have to solder a couple components to the new screen from the old screen.

That is why I fully Support Framework Laptops. I am just waiting for a newer model and bigger display, like a 15 inch one.

Just found this channel, I'm baffled at the amount of knowledge you guys have and the mods , love it , I've always been a tech buff and wondered if there was someone who actually does MLB mods

And this is why I’m starting to lean away from MacBooks slowly but surely 😅

This was the last Apple computer I bought. I’m glad I held onto my Mid 2012 non retina though. Never parting with it.

the construction of the lcd with notch is different from the other LCD screen that we use on laptop nowadays. it have a separate layer or backlit and lcd which is more like those high end tvs. when replacing the panel of the tvs, its also common to replace the lcd driver together due to the existed calibration specific to the previous panne which may makes the newer panel looks worse. the issue shown on the video may only reflect how hardware calibration were done on factories.

Alright that is just fucked up.

I replaced keyboard of my 2016 macbook pro lately ... my god ... I had to destroy the previous keyboard in order to unmount it because it was fixed with rivets ^^ thank you Apple

No Apple, no problem

Ok, this make my decision to switch to windows on my next laptop

It can be calibrated and the defects go away. When the display is changed it needs to have the recalibration done to it. It’s in the repair manual

I work at an Apple repair center, and I have had a new MacBook Pro 14 do this to me, the avg person wouldn’t have access to this but, running a system configuration made this go away if memory serves, it’s been a minute

I wonder if there's a reason why this is happening Apart from "So Apple can charge more for repair"

It's a software they part with specific LCD screens for specific body.

That's so green and good for the earth

Ahh Apple, always keeping the cheapest solution to the customer

Besides swapping the IC from the original display the only way is to pay Apple to replace the display or buy the part directly from Apple’s self service store. You then contact Apple to remotely “calibrate” the display. It’s their way of controlling everything.

What exactly do they mean by calibration here (except for serial pairing)? If anything at all, the display as a single unit must be capable of displaying images as sent in by the logic board. I'm not sure, but i think most, if not all laptops use some standard (internal) port/protocols for communication (eg: display port). And even with multiple dimming zones, they display itself should be the one handling the dimming based on the image content and configuration, because hey, the logic board doesn't host the display controller right? And if any calibration is required, won't/shouldn't that be stored on the display itself, why pair it and offload it onto the logic board (except money of course). Is it just Apple trying to fool consumers with the word "calibration" when it is just serial pairing? Now this is a genuine question: Can anyone tell me what exactly do they mean by "calibration" here?

What if you add a screen protector on the macbook pro? Wil lit break still? What if I put a cover on it? I would be afraid that it will break itself if I close it or something.

This is good, it helps keep the quality brand that Apple is.

.... Yes you can. I literally just replaced my 16 inch display with a similar issue. Once you replace the screen you need to a system config which is done through the self repair program. As per instructions on the Self Service Repair site by apple.

pretty sure those white thing are because it's a mini led screen. and those are the dimming zone.

If anything this just going to make people more knowledgeable about replacing things that require soldering. Now ppl can replace the ssd too

You cannot replace it! But, if you just move two elements, which is absolutely normal practice with iPhones, then you can. Genius.

As much as I loved my M1 Mac its this type of stuff that made me happy to switch to Alienware. Parts and documentation are readily available at reasonable prices and Dell also has guides on how to fix parts yourself.

They need to make laws for consumers right to repair

Just like new cars. You have to be a rocket scientist to fix something on a modern car these days

can you do a video on the notch display ic replacement?

What is the best case to replace it and cheapest? Hm my a2442 cracked screen and direct replacement is expensive

hallo have you recomendation for adaptor ssd nvme macbook pro 2015?

That is just insane. Please send this to Hugh Jeffrey as he’s apparently the only person they’ve ever listened to

Sigh no wonder mine has those little shadow spots after taking it to a repair shop to replace the screen.. oh well whatever it's honestly not that much of a bother since I've already been dealing with it for over a year now

It's a feature!

That's why I've decided to not buying MacBook anymore. I'm still using M1 Air as my daily laptop but I'm afraid it will have unrepairable problems. There's no Apple store in my country, so it's impossible to repair it at any 3rd party repair shop.

Is macbook air m1 2020 an exception? 😅

i wonder how long it’s going to take for someone to sell reprogrammers

love it.

I'll just stick to the cheaper huawei notebooks for the meantime.

Easy solution: Don't buy macbooks.

Does this still apply to apple’s self service repair?

My MacBook has these even without repair. No clue what to do

at this point its hillarious folks wasting more money just to use their product lol

are you sure about that? because to me it looks like you bought a repair part that was already broken. look at the squares, they are exactly the same size as the backlight dimming zones... this dosent look to me like a software lock from apple

Interesting I am looking into courses to do this work thanks for all the tips amazing

🔒 for customers… I really little by little going to go back to laptop/desktop Windows OS. Why? Because you don’t really have that 🔒 restraining for whatever you want to do…😢

Breaking news! Folks that work in the ER aren't the reason why Harley Davidson, Kawasaki, Honda, Ducati, etc are anticipating positive financial quarters!

Now i know why they added that notch Cause this notch is useless, some laptops have camera below the display or attached on top

Gotcha. So key here is you must learn how to do soldering so you not gonna screwed up to Apple

*Right to Repair!*

The discussion is private

The annoying married TrueTone stuff from main board to display circuitry..... Fortunately can be fixed as iPhone X to 12 I think.

EU, do your thing

I thought they were going green for your wallets😂😂😂

Simple advice ....don't buy Apple!

that why i use windows,ryzen 7 6800u,good cpu,gaming capable igpu,replacable storage

This wasn't an issue on M1 pro/air?

probably because those computer don’t use LCD screens. they use mini led

In my humble opinion, I don’t think Apple has the worst repair policy imaginable (yeah, they could make it easier for indie technicians and a little cheaper too) but we’re not talking about entry level laptops made for the mass, they are designed for people who need the max out of everything (display, performance, battery etc.) and can pay for it. Anyone who has used non genuine hardware before knows how it can downgrade your experience. Samsung, who probably has the best display quality in a laptop, also has some painful repair prices for the Galaxy Book Pro models. There are absolutely no companies that love the customer better than the profit they can generate, however it comes.

It works if you move the FaceID sensor from the old display

Wtf!! My country don't have apple official store branch.

the same company screaming about climate change

Just buy AC+ plan. You'll be away from the trouble.

new rights to repair thing 🤔

This is good news because screw the guy who stole my m1 pro macbook.

Laughs on a regular laptop that's not the pay 2 win apple

Lmao I thought I might want to upgrade turns out not

Screw Face ID on macs.

Not true, i changed my screen of my 16 inch m1 pro and works perfectly

Apple really treats their customers like 💩 while charging them top money 🤮. Samsung is joining in too and I’m just over it

it's mini led not lcd

Id rather have that shit on my macbook than a broken screen

Who's here after phone guru video

Nice. Apple. Doing great

People are triggered but maybe only 2 or 3 can actually replaced the screen 😂

As a filipino, that kind of problem is not a thing to me

I honestly do not know why people use apple over pc. I cant even render right in apple, bc ray tracing is not native. Rhino, solidworks, catia and yes even keyshot todesnt render right in macs… also u cant program on RSO by using mac just doesnt sit well.. also the wattage is so low so performance is so low. i just dont understand why people buy it.. even illustrator , photoshop u have to command to undo things… get a razer instead

Ok Mac mini then

Wow

And people still find ways to defend apple! You know, people deserve to be treated like suckers.

Stop buying MacBooks and watch Apple stop faquing around!

Apple and DIY doesn't combine anymore.

Im angry at Apple!!! Even with their utility workers and kitchen workers!!! Im mad at them all for creating this unrepairable thing!

Some Chinese Guy: ;)

Not need worry its mini led display get repair from apple or wait mini led become cheaper

Naw im done. I love my classic macs pre 2011. I will never ever buy a new one

haha good thing I got the originall 2014-2015 😂

Bruh i fixed it and

just use windows bro

Ewww I almost bought an apple laptop.

wait a min. it's lcd?...??? not OLED? wtf my 500$ asus laptop is oled and this thing is not lmfao

This is how apple desperated to money in every sales.. u dont share we copy. Hahaha.

Isn’t this a breech of the right to repair ?

Not the innovation we wanted 👎
