A2485 16 inch M Pro Ultra LCD Replacement with IC Chip Transfer

[@BrytZzy0]

Hey, I heard from so many tech shops and repair shops that for the 16 inch m1 pro you dont need to swap the ic. Even the shop where im gonna buy the screen replacement said for this model a2485 there is no need for ic swap. I know that for the 14 inch one its necessary to swap ic. Do you have ani information on that? I would appreciate some insight, cause im really confused about this atm! Thank youuu

It does work a bit differently on a 16 inch, you essentially don't get the gray bars non sense that you do for the 14", I'm not entirely sure if this is the case for M2/M3 since we have not had a 16 inch M2/M3 yet for a screen. However you still lose true tone and original color calibration, we can also have the repair cost less while we can make more on the labor doing this process, these are still essentially fully functioning with a full panel swap at least for an M1 A2485.

@@morethanafix And how much for this type of repair? thx

[@morethanafix]

@@jaym5938 for the 16ich machines these are 400 labor +panel, OEM LCD panel is about 230$ for these, 14" is 350 labor + OEM LCD Panel which is about the same cost

@@jaym5938 brief comparison, the whole assembly panel for these 16 inch pros cost about 650$ for the part alone , LCD only saves a good amount on cost and retains original color calibration/ true tone function

Ordered that heating mat, looks very useful. You should post some referral links to the tools you use, probably an easy way to make some extra cash.

We will actually be adding links to most of the tools we use soon, amazon referral program was being difficult!

Just added links to most of the key tools we have
