Liquid Retina XDR display repairs for A2442 models in Sydney
At Mac Screen Repair Sydney we specialise in the aspects of screen repair for the MacBook Pro 14 inch M1. The A2442 was the first 14 inch MacBook Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display and ProMotion at 3024 x 1964 resolution. Available with M1 Pro or M1 Max chips. We offer LCD only replacement and full display assembly depending on what is required.
The M1 Pro 14 inch was a major redesign when it came out in 2021. New display with notch, new ports, serious performance. Weve seen alot of them come through. Had one from Parramatta where the screen cracked after a bag drop. Housing was fine so LCD only repair worked out.
The team at Mac Screen Repair Sydney assess every machine before recommending a repair approach. 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 14 inch Pro has a solid build but drops still cause damage. We had one where the corner got bent badly. Full assembly was the only option but it came out looking like new.
The A2442 was the first Mac with mini-LED backlighting and ProMotion for 120Hz refresh. True Tone colour adjustment is included. The calibration data lives in the display housing. As such LCD only repair keeps True Tone working because that housing stays in place. Full assembly means new housing and True Tone data doesnt transfer across.
The team have worked on alot of these first gen XDR displays. Still excellent quality.
Impact cracks from drops are the main thing. The display fractures on impact with visible crack patterns. Pressure damage is another one where something gets pressed against the closed lid. The mini-LED display can fail in sections showing dark patches or distortion.
These are solid machines still worth repairing. Thats what we help with.
