This is how to repair a Macbook Pro Retina's cracked LCD without replacing the entire assembly.
The complete assembly is insanely expensive. No one wants to pay $500-$700 to repair a $1200 laptop. Here is a way around this silliness.
We can replace just the LCD for you here if you mail it to us. store.rossmanngroup.com/13-3-...
I thought this was Louis faking a Russian accent for the first few minutes.
i was thinking the same lol he can def. pull it off
Bulgarian accent, not Russian.
I thought it Indian accent for the first 20 seconds.
Could be Bulgarian, I think more likely Serbian or Croatian, but definitely not Russian.
48:52 as a technician i know this feeling all too well! "This is where it gets fun"
You absolutely must be the most patient man on the planet. I will give this a go and let you know - but meanwhile - To you, Sir - I give my most sincere respect.
Thanks a lot for that perfect tutorial.... For the joke, I was waiting for my replacement LCD screen, and had a look on your video for the "disassembling" part, so I installed this metal part that forced you to take out back the LCD (at 49':00")... Well this metalic part was already assembled on the LCD I received !
For the sharing experience, I had no air compressor, and I heated a little too much the old screen, so translucid leaves (that are behind the LCD screen) made a "wave" on right side... And I also had to take the LCD part by part cause it was already broken and really nicelly pasted ! So I put lot of little glass parts in(between also) the leaves...
I cleaned it at the sunlight so I was able to see the maximum of remaining particles... Cleaned each side of each leaf with a cloth for cleaning glasses....
The result is not perfect, but the image is here on the whole screen...
THANK YOU AGAIN for that tutorial !! Great Job!!!
So I came here to see this because I have a small ding on my screen, was gonna just replace the LCD panel.
Hour later... I think I can live with the ding.
or just spend an extra hundred or so and replace the whole top. even easier
Thank you Louis, very generous of you to share so much details. I fixed my daughter's cracked retina screen. Guess what?? i shattered the cracked screen when trying to remove it. All hell broke loose but with your guidance I kept the nightmare under control and replaced the screen. Keep up the good work and we appreciate it. Salute!
Why would an already cracked screen cause a nightmare? Isn't that why you're taking it off?

Outstanding work! I like the real time camera showing all the effort and any mistakes.
One of the best Ive seen Thank You! The detail and patience of this video helped a lot.
"And that's it, you're done."
hahaha. I love you man. Awesome insightful video!
At last, a video for the lcd matrix only! Thanks for uploading! I figured it would be complicated, but at least I now know how its done. So if I ever break the screen on my MBP retina, its good to know that there is a cheaper alternative to replacing the whole lid.
However, it would probably turn out with some minor flaws, no matter how careful the job is done. Those backlights are not at all tolerant to the slightest mark, piece of dust, or ripple. Also, dust might get in after the repair, because a DIY tape job is probably not going seal the screen perfectly. I work at a repair shop myself, and my boss would probably not allow me to attempt such a repair. It would be too risky because the replacement screen is so fragile, and the backlight is super sensitive. And I am sure that a customer would not appreciate a random fingerprint or piece of hair permanently trapped in their screen.
I will say, this guy did a fantastic job. I have no doubt that that MBP will continue for work for years to come. I however feel that this repair is more for DIY'ers, not for professional repair shops. I might attempt this on my own MBP, but I would probably replace the whole lid on a customer's MPB.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Managed to open up my screen and check that the display cable wasn’t properly connected to the pin and thats why it wasn’t working.
I had replaced the whole assembly before for a similar issue and figured why the hell not. Turns out the backlit cable wasnt connected.
You just saved me 300$ for a fix AND managed to fix the original screen as well!
Thanks again, you guys rock!
Thanks so much for such an in depth repair video... You Rock!
Tanks a lot for the videos, thanks to you i was able to repair mine, myself at a fairly low price, and its working amazingly well.
Where did you find the lcd screen?
THANK YOU Louis Rossmann
Great Video. Keep it coming, you helped me out.
thank you very much, your guide was VERY helpful
kudos to these people for not editing out the F up! def will be using these videos for help.
Much thanks for an excellent video, Louis, thank your guy for me : )
Excellent work You are a professional Watching you from Saudi Arabia
Man this was a serious job... Macbook screen is working again and looks good. I screwed up alot though, when I started prying out the glass it shattered all over so I had to scrape it out with a razor. I ended up scratching the white sheets too. But the end result turned out well. Great in-depth video.
very good job taught me a lot and saved me money thanks
After watching this, I would much rather replace the whole assembly vs trying to attempt to remove the glass panel! Thanks for your video!!
you guys are so super awesome!!!!!
Seems like Apple have gone to extraordinary lengths to make repairs of this nature as difficult as practicably possible...
good job
Great video. Love the "tums." Frankly, every good computer repair technician "needs" plenty of tums. True.
I probably missed it, but I didn't see where you took off the second protective film off the double sided tape along the bottom of that silver colored bracket (the one you forgot to put on the first time around) 56:50 . I got the impression that it didn't get peeled off and the protective film is still on there. Not that it hurts anything, just not as secure. 59:50 Of course I might have missed it when you did.
After watching this video, I think that I will take the MacBook to the shop. Murphy's Law!
Start - 3:45 = Taking off the broken screen
1:05.30 - End = Putting the replacement screen on
good job you was great ! to forget something it's not you choose but to be patient you do ;) thanks for share
Good luck man, get well soon !
To get that tape stuff off quickly i use thinner just put a bit over it and let it sit for 3 minutes or something then u can clean it off very clean and quick!
You are the best!!!!!
Good Job
excellent video. it shows us that apple has no master anymore, this used to so easy on previous mbp models, it did not even required taking off the back and the cable, but now, when steve is gone, those losers are literally taking convenient (for them) shortcuts. unbelievable
Great job Milan & Louis! Been following the procedure quite well but stumbled upon an LCD (perhaps compatibility) problem.. I was replacing the LP133WQ1 SJE2 screen with what happened to be an LSN133DL02 A01 on late 2013 A1502 and the backlight wouldn't turn on. The screen itself was working just fine when illuminated with external light, and backlight too when connected to the old SJE2 LCD controller board, so I reckon the logic board issues with backlight drivers/fuses should be ruled out...
So, what I wanted to ask you is whether the SJEV is a compatibile replacement for SJE2 screen ???
very good.
Discovered your channel after trying to figure out what's wrong with my MacBook Pro Retina display. Subscribed! Good stuff! I realize this video is a few years old, but was hoping you might know what is causing the display on a 2014 MBP 15" retina to be dimmer than normal? The brightness control works fine, I have toggled autobrightness on and off, and I can make screen go all the way dark, but it never seems to go full brightness, even though the control indicates it's all the way up. Instead, it is about 70% of the brightness of my other 2014 MBP 15" retina. This is a new replacement display. Problem was immediately apparent when I got it back from a repair shop and booted up. Thank you for any suggestions!
Thank you. And you forget to remove the second side of the tape when put back to all screen '' 59:51 '' time check on video. And where can I buy only the screen non assembly ? Thank you.
thank you very much,
How much would it cost? i have the A1502 models
What kind of tape do you use to stick the screen to the frame? Where do you buy it?
The good part is the result, is working
Nice job Louis. I have a MacBook Pro 13" A1278 model. It developed a white straight line vertically slightly to the right of the middle of the screen. I can see that the outer glass is fine and intact and has no crack. I don't know about the LCD. Do you think the LCD is damaged? I can see it is not a sofware thing because the white line does not disappear even when I boot up.
thumbs up for the Lysterine bottle on your desk
Very impressed with your repair!
Hi, Do you no where have the screen gas for A1502, on eBay don't have! Thanks!
hello you know if you can test the display unassembled completely alone with overlaid onto white sheets and connecting logicboard?
Thank you sir. As a good friend of mine once told me, " this is not a race. Slow down and be careful. "
Clean adhesives with acetone (be careful with plastic parts), then with alcohol.
And try to rub the rubber with glycerine with your bare fingers (one drop would be more than enough). Glycerine would give back grip to the rubber, and also protects rubber from ageing. Maybe you would not need to place the rubber with tape anymore ;)
sometimes I forgot to do something is happens all the time if some technician never pass for that is not real technician.
Good video
Retsu Ichijouji Human??? Hell no...I`m that little guy in your acc pic :-p
Can u use a unibody LCD screen for this model laptop? Or is their a certain type of LCD screen like a retina LCD screen
it may test the screen without having to assemble completely overlaying one on white sheets? or you have to arm the entire screen to work? sorry for my english.
hey, is there anyway to change the two hinges? I know I can change the left side hinge but can i cut the facetime camera on the rightside hinge and solder on the new one instead of taking off the entire screen?
I think you forget to take out the second tape face to hold the screen in the bottom... Is it volontary?
Did you not forget to expose the tape from the metal strip holding the bottom of the screen in place?
+Alfred Stampe he sure did.. I was thinking he is going to use the f word again and take out the screen.. but i guess he forgot that.. other than that great video.
+mkhwaja JAAJAJAJAJAJA the f word..
This is definitely one of the hardest repair to get 100% right. I just fucked up the backlight sheets, do you know anywhere I can get these? I feel you should be able to buy all this in one piece so you can do the job perfectly.
and can you please update the link of ebay
Thank you for this video. You helped save me! That was the hardest and scary-est macbook screen I've done so far. Thank you!
+TheOneCut Yep this is a big pain in the ass.
what's that material you got under it? Do you protect it from ESD?
do you have any links to the LCD panels, any I have found on line cost the same as buying complete OEM from an striped machine I thought this would be a cheaper rout. and how the hell are the newer Macbook displays be so much cheap compared to the 2015's ?
the screen backing sheets (i'm thinking mylar) are slightly skewed in the corner...from heat. are they no good or can i flatten them or replace them ? know a supplier ? thanks
Hello, after I removed a sticky skin covering the top of the screen, my screen has been having some horizontal lines issue. I am using an external monitor right now... My question is: Will macbook (A1502-2013 late 13'') work properly hooked to my external if I remove the screen with all of its attachments?
Whats the name of those things at the back of the display? Because mine had scratch.
Please help
Good job! How much is it for fix it by a professional like you?
Hi can we change glass only in macbook retina mid 2014 please advice ? thanks
Excellent - and realistic - video. While I've worked on laptops for years, I'm not really a mac person and opening them up is a bit foreign to me. Looking at prices for the entire assembly, I had pretty much decided not to repair the 2015 MBP that finally cracked on about the 5th drop. I run Linux with the Plasma 5 Desktop Environment, and through some creative use of empty panels was able to have the entire desktop displayed in the undamaged part of the screen. So, the computer was actually useable - and I had decided to leave it at that, or just trash it. The usual lineup of videos on mac repairs showing a near surgical environment and a dozen specialized tools and unnecessary equipment (a battery isolation something or other, for f*ck sake) weren't helpful because that isn't the environment I'd be working in. I appreciate not editing out the f*ck ups. This video probably saved a laptop from the scrap heap. Thanks..
I did the repair not knowing the polarizer were to stay on can you guide me to where i can find the replacement im in the states and the only one i can find is in finland
Hello Sir, I do meed to learn this as per I need to replace few 9f them. How much is it not that much hot ?¿ Well this is an important part please clarify, thanks.
In this video you had a new screen to put in so you didn't care about breaking the old screen. In my case I have a 2nd retina with a good screen. I need to swap it. I can't swap the whole casing because the wireless cable is different lengths (early version vs late version). Is there a way to remove the screen without breaking it? Or can I just swap the cable?
Is it possible to replace the display logic board? The one inside the screen?
you can replace de audio jack of this mac?

Hi, if i look from a side, i see few tiny tiny marks on white back sheeting. It must be from broken glass (i had a crack in my display). Is it going to be a problem? If so, can i buy the sheet? Thanks
Where did you get the lcd panel from?
If on a A1502 (Mid 2014 MBP 13") About This Mac > Displays does not show the Built-In Display, but the computer works fine with an external display, what do you recon might be the reason? Are such cases often a matter of no display, no backlight, or is the only fix to replace the display altogether? Any chance a display cable might be just loose or broken?

I wish we could get a count on how many times he says "crack the screen" in this video, because its quite a lot, but probably not enough. I truly hate doing this repair, even with practice and experience it is so easy to fuck up. It's nerve-wracking worrying about cracking the screen. Great video though, thanks!
Wow....that’s a lot more complicated than with the older model! how much are you charging for this work?
after replaceing the screen my camera is not working. green led light turns on and off, i checked and everything looks well plug, any thoughs?
any solutions? same issue with my macbook pro 13 2015
how much do you charge to do this? i have a 15in A1398 and the screen has already been purchased.
my macbook after replacemening the panel brightness is not working how to fix that issue ??
Is glass replacement only possible ? My lcd is fine but the glass is all filled with stain due to defect
Hi thank you for this helpfull video.
I have a small question if you have a time. Is it possible to replace A1502 Display with A1278 display. I mean can I use my old macbook pro nonretina display for the new retina model. If not what happens if i replaced?
Thank you.
Ibrahim Ince No this will never work.
I run an IT and phone repair business in the UK but don't deal with SMD level repair - I send the boards up to someone like yourself Louis. He primarily does iPhone board repairs but I have started sending him MacBook motherboards with schematics and he does a good job, however it's expensive postage as I have to send up the entire Macbook. Is there any kind of LCD adapter I could get for him so that he only needs one LCD and a particular adapter for each MacBook model?
Anyone know which model utrech palette knife he is using. Or the dimensions of the blade. EDIT: Called company, product has been replaced by blick model 180.
why did you remove the tape is it not reusable
