[@johnsheakley1726]

This has to be one of the best explained tutorials I have ever watched..VERY clear instructions and comments that are important when needed! Thank you!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@yellowbrick1140]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was quoted $500 to fix this and decided to just figure it out myself and this video was so helpful! I now have a working screen and an extra 400 bucks in my pocket 🎉

[@kennethcook4686]

Simon ... a humungous thumbs up from Granada, España. My A1708A has been reborn. New screen and battery installed. Fabulous videos. Take a bow ! KeniC

[@lxxl-my9eb]

It WORKEDDD thank you so much dude I'm not gonna lie I was a bit skeptical at the start but I thought oh well the laptop's already gone may as well give it a go, followed this tutorial step by step and now I don't need to buy a new laptop or give a delusional amount of money to apple. Thank you so much

[@UbergeeksBiz]

U r welcome

[@Thankyou_thankyou3]

This just SAVED ME! Thank you so much. First time replacing anything regarding my MacBook and had success the very first time! Thank you for your videos! You explained everything perfectly with great detail!! 🙌🏾

[@johnboardman6573]

Inspired me to pause 1/2 way through the tutorial and order a replacement screen.. regards “new subscriber!”

[@elijones9257]

best explanation and walk through. got my tools and screen off ebay but this helped so much. thank you for you time and effort. saved me from buying a new MacBook or putting up with a dongle and second screen

[@trevager]

Excellent walk-through video. Each step very well explained and helped me replace a screen on MacBook Pro. Those tiny screws for the wifi antenna are a nightmare trying to get back in. Must upgrade my eyeballs soon!

[@Plan-C]

After stripping 4 of the screws on the wifi antenna, I drilled them out. thank you for this video. Very helpful. Managed to get my mate's wife's laptop going again with an aftermarket screen. Top man!

[@toddbruder6500]

Great Tutorial!!! My daughter and I were able to fix her broken screen for a fraction of the cost of the Apple store. Thanks!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You're welcome!

[@brucegeist9831]

Many thanks for this video! My daughter is off to graduate school, a huge expense, and rescuing her laptop helps our bottom line. This video is excellent. I was able to change out my daughter’s Mac Book Pro screen successfully. It’s tiny work- wow what small screws- but the video covers every needed point to get the job done. Thanks for a great explanatory video!!

[@dreadeyerootsrocker7905]

Thank you very much for such detailed instructions and the words of encouragement during the video. My friend's MacBook is working properly again. I have to say that in around 20 years of working with laptops, nearly all Windows ones, this was the most fiddly screen I've ever changed, even when swapping a new screen into the same casing. I can't believe it needed five different size and shape screwdrivers! Gotta love Apple... I could not have done this without help so thanks again!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@khalidlamrani6849]

Thank you my friend, I'm going to change the screen after seeing your nice video👍

[@MA_MissA]

Thank you so much for this video! My laptop screen needed a replacement that would have cost me almost $1000, but i was able to replace it for half that cost with the help of your great tutorial! Im so happy. Thank you so much!!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@simonxuan]

Agreed, the best and most detailed step-by-step guide. I missed the T3 part from other videos and couldn't remove the crew attaching to the mother board. Then this video talked about switching to T3, that is a good detail easily missed. I have to buy T3 bit in order to continue. Thanks.

[@AR-do1sn]

Thanks for a very detailed video. Great explanation on every step. This is the best video I saw for A1708 macbook pro. 👌👍

[@JuanS1103]

Thanks for making this an easy replacement. Great walk through

[@MarinaMavroudis]

This was incredible. Thank you so much!!

[@ryangladden9686]

This tutorial was extremely helpful. I had trouble trying to slide the case back on after replacing the display, but your explanation helped me complete it quickly. Thanks!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it helped!

[@breakz360]

The 12 extremely small 0.8 star bit screws at the top for wifi antenna aren't torx bits, they are star bits. Just in case anyone wonders why their torx only goes down to size 1, and tries to order a smaller size tool

[@BrainBuzzify]

Hi, This where I'm stuck. Do you mean it is 0.8 pentalobe? Or, is it a completely different screwdriver? I've been searchig but couldn't find anything that says 0.8 star bits. I'd appreciate your response.

[@BrainBuzzify]

I figured you meant 0.8 pentalobe. Just wanted to clarify in case others might benefit as well.

[@LosRhysos]

Excellent instructional video. Perfect pacing with clear steps and explanations - thanks Simon! The operation went smoothly

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@mikethomas3498]

Great job on the video. Thank you very much. I just removed and replaced my old Apple, a 1708 LCD screen it could not have been a better tutorial.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it helped

[@pauldusseaux64]

Thanks... I did it, 😊Without you 'm not sure. With your Help it was quite simply. Thanks for all.

[@garyrodebaugh1740]

Excellent detailed video; I swapped out my screen and had to swap it back since my replacement screen did not work.

[@Pfeuhh]

Clear, accurate. I would never consider the repairing without this video. Thanks !

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You're welcome!

[@davidngo1950]

Very clearly video.easy to follow.Thank you

[@thebatman71]

Thank God I found THIS video, extremely thorough, thank you

[@raviwoods3419]

Excellent video - so clearly explained!

[@RichGarciaTv]

thank you for this video. Apple wanted $500 to replace the screen and i ordered an original used one from ebay for $130. our screen had the common design flaw from apple where the display cable would flex over time and eventually not display the screen when it was fully opened. Again thank you very much for this detailed video!!!!!

[@gavrob1981]

Thank you, exactly what I needed. good pace and a perfect follow along video

[@shinytag5291]

Your details of explaining the steps and the tools that you use are very much appreciated. Great video, thank you.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@michelleholden5487]

Such a smooth replacement!!! Thank you for such a concise video tutorial!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@j0ori]

Followed this guide to replace the screen on my macbook prro and it worked a treat!. I had to grind down some of the plastic on the wifi antenna to prervent the lid frrom making a popping/clicking noise when opened and closed. Otherwise a great video and saved me lots of money! :)

[@user-yc2bv2lb6l]

Thank you! Saved me £££. Super clear instructions.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it helped!

[@user-fe8si9on6r]

I’ve messed up. Around minute 5:10. I pulled the surface mount up. Do you have a video on how to fix that? Everything else went super smooth.

[@lasonyamorales456]

Great class it was very informative and saved me some mula lol. Thank you much sir!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it helped!

[@seanbailey9210]

Outstanding step-by-step and well explained the entire way.

[@geoffreyzinck4291]

You're a life saver ! Great video clear instructions very detailed awsome job thanks a lot !!

[@99Zdog1]

This video is outstanding. I'm about to make this repair. Do you have any suggestions in terms of keeping track of each tiny part? In other words, is there a desired workflow when it comes to keeping track of each tiny screw--and remembering which tiny screw goes where? Perhaps placing each part on a piece of paper where I've drawn a rough schematic of the back of computer where each screw is located? I'm thinking with so many screws it would be easy to use the wrong one.

[@wendyharris4267]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You're very welcome!

[@noopster17]

Dude you are amazing! Thank you very much! Liked and subscribed! 10/10!

[@rob5984]

Thank you so much for doing this video. Using it I was able to successfully replace the screen on a MacBook Pro A1708. Unfortunately I seemed to have the same battery issue that you did, and when I power on using AC there is just an X on the battery. So I'm not sure if that means I damaged a connector or something else happened. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

[@ninjasamerica]

Absolutely amazing! You are a lifesaver! I wish you could teach everything!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Happy to help!

[@gunawansyarif2984]

Thank you for your good video, cause I do know nothing about this before.

[@charithadhikari7647]

Great explanation ! ❤️

[@user-dv8po9ot2k]

Very helpful, thank you. I have one macbook with dead logic board, and bought me a flexgate with dead screen. Would you swap the screen or the logic board ?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

That should work. Swapping screen it’s a lot easier

[@Oo6188]

Okay so my exact issue is that I stripped the exact screw you said not to strip 😂 and I was only left with one last screw to take off. What are the additional steps I need to take to remove this super tiny screw?

[@elprince5649]

Thank you so much man, appreciate it. Can you please do a video on replacing an ssd onto the A1708 macbook model, I bought a repairs Macbook which I am planing on fixing

[@lorenzobrandimarte1427]

Your video is great but I'm scared to break up something 😪I have literally zero experience with this kind of works.. do you think is better to ask help a professional in that case?

[@tayodada]

brilliant video. Comprehensive tutorial. highly recommended.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheManueltavarez]

Excellent Job I done for a friend everything works well 😁 amazing

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad to hear that!

[@PoesSnel]

Just a question : are the "non-original Apple displays" one can buy at for example Amazon also have the Retina feature ? Or are they just ordinary LCD displays ?

[@marinelifeengineeringservice]

Thank you, exactly what I needed. Thanks for making this an easy replacement. Great

[@PB-jy2we]

Excellent - clear, concise and well paced.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Thank you.

Thank you so much for the clear and simply put instructions

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@aquell14]

Great video. Having an issue with the camera not being detected after screen replaced, have tried all the soft resets (nvram, smc etc) but which step/area would you recommend to check if there’s a connection/hardware issue. Apple diagnosis has ndc001 as the error and system shows camera as not installed

[@seyfogunes]

Very helpful 🎉🎉

[@christopherestay2483]

Clear video! Will this replacement get rid of my pink screen? Cheers!

[@ryankurz6447]

Is the a1708 LCD assembly different for Touch Bar and non Touch Bar models?

[@chillmaino828]

Quick question: This model is know to have screen flickers and lines on screen, do you know how to fix this? Or possible reason why this would be happening? Much thanks 🙏

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes, it will still work fine

[@jesslyntantomo5007]

Hello! My macbook pro’s lcd is cracked & there’s no display on the screen. I’d like to sell this laptop and need to do a factory reset- I’ve got the laptop connected to my TV’s hdmi so I can do the factory reset but whenever I try to enter recovery mode by pressing command + R upon restart, the display on the TV won’t work anymore. Any advise? Thanks so much!

[@macdiggieful]

legend

[@ivanzivojinovic1606]

A1706 and A1708 share the same screen model meaning a1708 screen will work on A1706 and vice versa ?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes

[@winnieww]

Any idea what could be wrong with mine? My old screen is all black and even flashing light doesn’t show the very faint display. It works fine with external monitor. I replaced the screen and it is still black but flashing light through it doesn’t show the very faint Apple logo.

[@myanixon6838]

it may be a backlight issue

[@santiagobazan9078]

Genial Gracias por los detalles!!!!!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@Me-ph9jc]

My antenna screw is stripped can’t remove it. What to do ?

[@Me-ph9jc]

Tried a bigger screw didn’t work

[@user-nl4bq1qn6v]

Sorry, I blocked at the first step. What is the screwdriver reference to open the cover ?? I don't have in my screwdriver box, even if I have a lot. Just give me the reference and I will buy it on internet thanks a lot. note: you have provided all screwdrivers reference, except this one.

[@myanixon6838]

This is lcd from aliexpress?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

From amazon or ebay.

@@UbergeeksBiz used or new?)

[@dennisverduz6289]

👍❤👌

[@johnsmith-mn2pl]

And now in 2023, you cant replace the screen, motherboard or hall sensor without involving Apple. Those "parts" are now paired together and Apple has to resync the microcode. The replaced parts will work, just with weird intensional effects to annoy you.

[@DaMindofMine]

There is no F1 in my keyboard

[@dansnow8667]

Thanks man- this demo was much appreciated.

[@faihanotaibi4134]

Thank you so very much. Very informative and clear.
