Thanks a lot for the video, this certainly demystifies this repair quite a bit.

My goodness, you are really talented! WOW. Especially soldering a ball grid array!!!

[@kevinsabaten]

Amazing!! Such a good tutorial, salute buddy🫡

[@deepinthedarkdiving]

Hi there
This is a very good video. I like the way you get straight I it and explain everything in a concise ways.
The only way it could be improved would be to link to everything you need in the description. Then I could buy everything and do the repair while watching.
But well done on a very good video.

[@talquinbiker]

Great tutorial thx.

[@MobileSentrix]

You're welcome!

[@natetechr]

Can you transfer the chip to the aftermarket plus screens on Mobilesentrix?

[@yesh6859]

Great video! What kind of tape did you use to stick the new lcd back into the frame?

[@franciscoleal2693]

is necesary to replace both ic from the original lcd panel to replacement lcd panel?

[@ztechrepairs]

Would you guys ever be interested in doing classes like rewa does in China. And I'm talking about in-person classes. This kind of knowledge just cannot be taught over video in my opinion at least for most people

[@spunkenhimer]

any way we can get a lcd replacement repair for any of the 2017-2020 macbooks, specifically the the air lineup.

[@KeystoneMicroSoldering]

What tape are you using?

[@RuslanMirlanovich]

hello, what tape did you used for the lcd panel?

The failure of 14" (A2442) and 16" screens is too frequent and independent of good care of the equipment - ​​it is not a failure caused by user carelessness: Apple should be required to provide a free replacement program worldwide.

[@muhammedsuhaib533]

question, if have any brand difference in internal screen? ( like LG,....etc i have eared some say , is there any truth in that?

[@Aefire1]

Question, where would I find the stencil, solder paste, and adhesive? I think I could do this but need those items.

[@MobileSentrix]

On our website!

Is this model impossible to repair if the DP855A chip is damaged? During repair, it accidentally caused an internal short circuit in the chip, which made the original DP855A chip unusable. The DP855A chip was available in China, but unless it is a DP855A chip extracted from the A2442 model, nothing is displayed on the screen. (Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to extract the serial from the DP855A chip or reprogram the serial.)

[@daich]

is the angled stencil that you used for the smaller chip the same pitch (0.40)?

[@daich]

ah, caught a glimpse and it looks like it was 0.35

[@besitmartin6285]

Can you put a link to all the stuff you used. Trying to do it myself at home but dont have any tools.

[@A2000MHz]

This type of job is not for the beginner. If you have never worked on surface mount, let alone micro BGA, you need a few months practice before attempting this repair. You can change the LCD panel at home but find a shop that does microsoldering to change the chips for you!

[@Aefire1]

how do you recommend finding a shop that does that?@@A2000MHz

[@ViskoEskavianto13]

Does the True Tone feature active with a new screen?

[@MrPnew1]

True tone is a function of the camera/ALS so yes as long as you put a new LCD panel into the original LCD housing

[@michaelschubert1307]

Amazing video! I'm about to do this repair on a second hand A2442 I bought near me for only $600 CAD! I've never done any hot air soldering but I'm an electrician by trade and have been wanting to get into the small stuff for so long; the clear instructions and filming of this video gave me the confidence to pull the trigger on the tools and parts I needed!
I'll update in a few weeks when the display arrives either super happy or very frustrated lmao.
One thing though- what's with the double post on the other channel? It was posted on the same date but instead includes a very detailed description I wish this one had tbh. "FIXD I Repair" posted "MacBook Pro LCD Display Repair: Bring Back Brilliance!" on Nov 14, 2023: th-cam.com/video/y0-zc9UdOYU/w-d-xo.html
