Just wanted to say thanks for this video. Helped me swap the screen/lid on my MBP 2016. Just a note: near the end you skip over some of the steps to reconnect the screen: just after the antenna is reconnected you jump to the battery. Not a big deal as I went back to the beginning of the video and used the disassembly steps to get the screen back together.

Hello. I have trouble on my Macbook Pro 2017, touch bar. A year ago, it starts flickering. I do not have enough money to fix it by LCD replacement. So, what I did was when the screen starts to flicker I just close it for a few hours and use it again. It takes only 15mins before flickering again, so, as I student its kinda hassle. Then, there was this online friend of mine who told me that I do not need to have an LCD Replacement, I just need to fix the flex. So, I want to ask you, if ever I fix the flex on my laptop is it a good move? Or do I really need to have an LCD replacement?

I don't know where the problem is. It's hard to go through to the disassembling it again. any tips on that so it would snap close fully when screen is fold down? aside from this we made the LCD worked again. thanks for your video!

Nice video. I have the same Mac and just realised that the display cables and the backlight cables (25:06) are exposed on the outside of the computer. You can see those four cables when the computer is closed and flipped on the front. when you closely down the fan exhaust, right at the middle of the black plastic bar, those four cables are exposed, and can easily be damaged when cleaning out that groove. I have nearley broke min, by bending the edges of the wires, when i was cleaning dust out of that groove withe a small stick with some cloth on.

That is correct. Those flex cables are exposed. But the clearance between the screen and the body is so small that it’s almost impossible. Thank you
