Many thanks! I only need to replace the Tcon pcb and not many people think its even possible but i gave it a shot today on a few cracked lcd's and was successful and after watching this I feel ready to give it a go on my customers repair
I actually also tried to replace tcon boards on a bunch of scrap screens, and although my soldering skills are quite advanced I ended up with non functional screens, not even showing image but black bars and all that stuff. Must have damaged the ribbon when desoldering.. whats ur technique?
@@pietervanderweg1157 T-12-K Shape-K is the tip I used though on my customers repair I used a tcon board from a A1706 and while the main pcb board numbers matched the sub set didn't and i got similar results as you with lines that if i didn't know better would make me think it was cracked ie lines and no real display however I do feel I need a tcon from the exact model for this to be successful
Hello I have the same issue and thank you for the video tutorials, a good source to save a bucks, I'm wondering if you can't give me a website or so where to order the exact tcon cable mine is macbookair A2179. Thanks and advance
Great job! Could you tell me please, if there some adhesive appeared on a upper layer of diffuser could it be cleaned by alcohol or another liquid or it will cause more damage?
Awesome work! I don't have that soldering experience yet (on the scale of M1 PCB connectors) so got a question: I saw your working very fast during initial soldering of new TCON (the flux had not been put yet!). Is this how you do pre-heating, to work more easily when the flux is already in place? Anyway, thank you very much for sharing, this is frankly amazing skill level :) PS: my issue is with camera (torn ribbon cable), would it be similar process?
Thank you!，Yes, we use flux during the process, and pre-heating isn't necessary. The procedure is quite similar to soldering a torn ribbon cable on a camera.
@@l2computer310 You used the backlight sheet as a prying tool for the screen ? I keep braking (cracking) these screens whenever I try to remove the glue from the sides.
I just noticed that you put the rubber seal that goes around the perimeter of the LCD panel, in after you fitted the panel into the housing. Did you cut the little half moon pieces of rubber that are supposed to go under the LCD panel? Every other video that I have seen, they put the rubber in before the panel. Thanks, just curious PS - the music is growing on me 😂
This repair takes at least 2 hours minimum, even longer if you're not experienced as you might damaged the screen in the process. let's say the shop charges $60 an hour so probably $120 or if they have a set price for repairs.
I must be doing something wrong. I have gone througn 5 different pairs of these cable and I still get flickers. Mine is A1708 screen. Do you have any idea why? I followed your steps and everything. Can it be the flux causing the flickering? Its dribing me crazy. Also are the T-CONs interchangeable
Exactly why all of the new macbooks are rubbish. Want to buy a used Macbook then think again if it uses a "non replaceable" flexgate cable. This repair is almost impossible for a number of reasons and if you manage to find someone like this it's going to cost you the same as a used macbook. Buy a 2015 retina or opt to never close your laptop.

Is it the same brand
Replace board need same brand.
Lavoro spettacolare!!Sono pochissimi a farlo in questa maniera, perchè davvero ci vuole abilità!!😀😀😀

Alcohol no problem

Looks new! what is the tool you used to remove the screen? what is the thickness?
that is the backlight sheet
@@l2computer310 You used the backlight sheet as a prying tool for the screen ? I keep braking (cracking) these screens whenever I try to remove the glue from the sides.
Yes, Hold the edge with your thumb and push slowly.
You put the LCD back on to the frame and you dont see any dust behind the LCD on white background?
where can I get the extension cable you used to connect the display to other mac's cpu?

Which tool you use for remove the glue? And for clean the back of the lcd?
Gel Sticker Remover and Max Professional Contact Cleaner
@@l2computer310 Thanks dude, i will try.
Thanks!

hi id like to know where i can get the flex cables for the lcd ?
We have, Please contact us via messenger
I did this job on A1707. Looks easy on the video :) but it's not at all. I used superglue to secure the cable.
U can use uv glue after soldering
Hi, how money repair? Thanks

no need to open the display, We can joint cable.
However, durability also needs to be taken into consideration.
Good video thanks but piss that music off PLEASE 🤣 It's good music but in this context it's repetitive and damned annoying. There, I said it
Sorry about that
the repairability of Apple products is terrible
you look, nothing complicated, but when you sit down to do it, there is never an image!
