MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar Screen Repair

MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar Display Repairs

At Mac Screen Repair Sydney we specialise in the aspects of screen repair for the MacBook Pro 15 inch Touch Bar models from 2016 to 2019. This covers model numbers A1707 (2016-2017) and A1990 (2018-2019). These use IPS LED backlit Retina displays at 2880 x 1800 resolution with wide colour P3 gamut. We offer LCD only replacement and full display assembly depending on what is required.

The Touch Bar 15 inch era represented a significant design change. Thinner chassis, USB-C only, and the Touch Bar itself. The display technology evolved across these years with True Tone added in 2018. Weve worked on many of these machines.

Repair Options

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.

For 2018 and 2019 models with True Tone, LCD only repair preserves the calibration since the housing stays in place. Full assembly means new housing and True Tone wont transfer.

Model Years and Features

The 2016 and 2017 models (A1707) share similar display assemblies without True Tone. The 2018 and 2019 models (A1990) added True Tone colour adjustment. Parts differ between these generations so identifying your exact model year matters for the repair.

Check your serial number if youre unsure which year you have.

What We Usually See

Impact cracks from drops are the main thing. The display fractures on impact with visible crack patterns. Pressure damage where something presses against the closed lid. Display flex cable issues causing flickering or image distortion. These machines are mature enough now that age related issues appear alongside accidental damage.

The Touch Bar models were popular for professional work. Many are still in daily use.

Worth Repairing?

The Touch Bar 15 inch models are getting older but still capable. If yours is otherwise healthy then screen repair makes sense. The cost is less than buying newer. Consider factors like battery health and overall condition. We can assess the whole machine and give you honest advice.

Many people prefer to keep their existing machines running.
