According to the Apple engineers I’ve talked to, all those screws are, “to improve wireless communication”. Take that for what it’s worth as I agree there are too many.
Hey! I happen to have a MacBook 15,4 with display issues so I'm glad you're going over this. From my experience of macbook repairs, things look similar to each other so gathering experience in this type of repair is valuable. Thank you!
It's easy to assume that Apple has strengthened or revamped at least two departments: mechanical engineering (lamination) and chemical engineering (plastics injection). I am not their fan but I will not deny their merit either. Thank you very much for sharing. Excellent content. When I save the word file I will indicate critical training in parentheses. All the best.
Hey. Always love the content. Really cool to watch your business grow. You may already know this and didn't bring it up in your video, but just for good practice, I have found it valuable to check ambient light sensors, microphone, camera and brightness levels before reassembly. Sometimes, you can get a new lid assembly in which one or the other may not work. Good to weed those out before finalizing.
That's a good shout. I must confess I usually don't do the extensive testing, but so far have only been caught out by one bad webcam. It's a habit I ought to get into though!
Grapham, I'm a computer tech in Atlanta Georgia. i just had a customer bring me the same mac book with a broken screen. While I could PHYSICALLY change the screen, i declined the repair because starting with the M1 units, the screen is serialized to the logic board and all features would not be available after replacement. Please comment. Neal
I know this is the case for some of the latest ones coming out, but my understanding was everything up to the very latest could still be done? I've done several M1 MacBook Airs without problem at the very least...
This cover all angles. So many customers have replaced their screen without disconnecting the battery, and it ends up coming to me. Very informative, I approve.
@@dimitrismaster There are approx 8,054,997,630 humans on earth, your lights would stay on even if 0.000002% of people who don't know their stuff visit you in a month. So I'm really not fussed.
One thing to note on any of the Macbooks I've found from 2017 onwards is that some of the LCD's from eBay, Replacebase etc seem to brand them as OEM but they're not. Because of this, the T2 chip stops the ALS from working which also controls the keyboard backlight etc. Only way to get around that was to get the LCD replaced by a genuine Apple retailer or the Apple shop themselves.
Yeh the 16" MacBook Pro 2019, 2021, 2023 14" MacBook Air 2021 MacBook Air M2 2021 MacBook Pro 14" 2023 MacBook Air 15" M2 2023 are all Apple authorised repairs only just now because of that damn sensor
Done watching, thank you very much for the informative tutorial video on replacement of laptop displays. I have learned significantly more troubleshooting & repair lessons in this tutorial video and to your other repair videos as well compared to my ENTIRE 4 YEARS OF COLLEGE EDUCATION. I hope you will soon have a mini-series for Schematic & Boardview-free Voltage/Power Rail Tracing[12V/18-20V Main Voltage Rail, 5V, 3.3V, CPU/GPU Core Voltage Rail, DRAM Voltage Rail, IGPU Voltage Rail, System Agent/Northbridge Voltage Rail, PCH Voltage Rail, BIOS Voltage Rail, Battery Power Rail], Proper method of testing/checking of potentially faulty MOSFETs & ICs/Controller Chips, CPU/GPU/PCH Reballing and BIOS Bin File Editing.
What do you recommend on a Windows 10 computer when a customer wants a backup. The file history backup doesn't seem to actually back up the content, so it seems.... Thank you! Love the videos
They put so many types of screws on that display and cable connectors but you need to arrange the display with the hinges to be aligned, too expensive for cnc machine to make some good holes for hinges before you put the screws, apple design :)).
I can confirm that the screen turning weird colors during a peel is caused by electrostatic build up. Not Mac specific, but in general, and it can (theoretically) damage the display driver ic if its not properly shielded. This is why good quality peels are made from ESD safe plastic.
Thank you for a very informative and in depth tutorial. I have a A1708 model screen to replace and your step by step instructions will help me get through.
The lid sensor should be on the motherboard not on the screen. Use a metal object and pass it on the edge of the screen until it trapped by a magnet. That's where the lid sensor is on the mainboard. Check from crap/corrosion in that area.
I've not run into this problem myself. Does it sleep with the original screen attached? [Edit: I'm assuming this isn't one of the latest models where we're starting to see serialisation of screens]
@@Adamant_IT It's happened at least on a MacBook Air 13" A2179 Early 2020. Also happened on another Macbook a bit further back don't have details to hand
Yet another amazing job! First time I'm ever hearing of the T Con board. Sounds like a nice research topic 👍🏽

Masterclass. Enjoyed the commentary.

To open the bottom cover, I tend to a clear suction cup and then get my fingers under....very easy
nice tut bro ! :) all the way to the little details ! Respect!

ahh the apple no right to repair scenario
Another reason to never buy any Apple product :(
Apple did just recently announce that users can run the configuration update, without needing to call Apple first. Simple step to do.
I’ve never been so engaged for 30 minutes in my life
So what you're saying Graham, this repair isn't possible for us nail-biters. Apple is always one step in front of self repair!

Aren't you happy about DIY people who don't know their stuff?Keeps the lights on ,on my repair shop.

great instructinal video demonstarating the process and explaining all the delicate bits to remember and best practices.

Nice efficient job. Great learning video
Very useful video. Thanks.
Macbook that punish you if you peel it fast. The only good feature on this piece of ...
Great tutorial! Thank you!
You Mactoss it in the MacBin. (Or what he did...)
Did anyone else clinch when he disconnected the wifi cables with his nail…😮
thnx .... u allways calm me down !
شكرا
Man I love your channel 😎
Exellent
there is a theme here with laptops were we can taked off the laptop screen and use a monitor as a desktop
Cheers Graham for the Vid ... Informative as always

I love how you teach am technician for apple products but you'r my lovely teacher
How do you solve the issue of the machine not sleeping when the lid is shut anymore after screen replacement?
I tried multiple replacements.
The lid sensor should be on the motherboard not on the screen. Use a metal object and pass it on the edge of the screen until it trapped by a magnet. That's where the lid sensor is on the mainboard. Check from crap/corrosion in that area.
