Retina display repairs for A1708 models in Sydney
At Mac Screen Repair Sydney we specialise in the aspects of screen repair for the MacBook Pro 13 inch Function Keys from 2016 to 2017. The A1708 model has traditional function keys instead of Touch Bar and uses a Retina display at 2560 x 1600 with P3 wide colour. We offer LCD only replacement and full display assembly depending on what is required.
The function keys version was the entry level 13 inch Pro. No Touch Bar but same quality screen. Weve seen alot of them. Had one from Rouse Hill where a student cracked the screen in their bag. Housing was fine so LCD only repair sorted it out at a good price.
The team at Mac Screen Repair Sydney assess every machine before recommending a repair path. LCD only replacement means we swap out the damaged panel but keep your existing aluminium housing. The housing cant have dents or bends for this to work. If theres housing damage then full display assembly replacement is required.
The A1708 has the same compact design as Touch Bar models. We had one where the corner got bent from a fall. Full assembly was needed but it came out looking like new.
The function keys model doesnt have Touch Bar and doesnt have True Tone. This actually makes screen repair simpler in some ways. No extra components to worry about and no True Tone calibration to preserve.
LCD only repair is straightforward when the housing is in good shape. Just the display panel swap and youre good to go.
Impact cracks from drops are the main thing. The Retina display fractures on impact with visible crack patterns. Pressure damage is another common one where something gets pressed against the closed lid. The LCD can fail in sections.
These machines are several years old now so we also see age related issues. Backlight problems, display cables wearing out. All repairable.
