Great video thanks ! One important detail for people needing tools for the job , on my macbook pro 13 the 3 hinge screws on each side are not T6 like you say in this demo , they are in fact T9 size . So if you buy a kit with all the sizes your fine but if your buying just that tool its a T9 , not T6 . On my macbook pro 13 A1278 2012 thats how it is anyways.

Thank you for the video, is this what I need to do if the screen cracked and it doesn’t turn on? Rather than just replacing the face of the screen?

I can be one of many components that have a bad connection on the board. Your best bet besides replacement is reflowing.

Hello. I hope you can help me. My screen worked fine before I took off the LCD because of a noise in the plastic parts every time i close the screen; i just did that, checked the black plastic at the bottom of the screen and then i putted back on its place but then the screen is black, the brightness doesn't work, i can see the through with a lamp and i can get to my desktop but i can not get the brightness work again, do you know what can be wrong?

@GRIBSOFT 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, it's the back-light that is out. There are two variants of solutions to this issue. First is to unplug the LVDS cable (The main lcd screen cable) and plug it back in, then perform a SMC reset www.appledollars.com/reset-smc , the second solution is to replace the back light fuse that might have been damaged, we don't cover component level repairs but we can point you toward an excellent channel that does just that kzfaq.info with a little bit of research you should find what you are looking for. Let us know if this helps.

Hi I did the exact things done in this video but after I reassambled there is activity in the screen. The screen is dead. What do you think went wrong ? :)

@GRIBSOFT 7 жыл бұрын

The LVDS (LCD) connector is very fragile and might need to be reseated, make sure the keyboard cable is plugged in correctly and that the Macbook is powering on (fans spin) after pressing the power button, the power button is part of the keyboard ribbon.

Negative on that. The retina models need the iris or special Nvidia graphics chip to function.

The way you can improve this video? Every tool you use....mention what tool it is. That's all. (i.e., "you'll need a #00 Phillips screwdriver", i.e. "you'll need a Torx T6 torque screwdriver.") Just whatever screw or ? that you're disconnecting, specify what tool you're using for each separation or disconnection. That way we viewers are all ready & prepared and, most importantly, will not damage anything---as we proceed by your protocol. That's the only need for improvement you might make, in my humble opinion. Thank you for showing the process overall. I can make do. I'll attend to the details as needed on my own as necessary. THANK YOU AS WELL.
