Repair Complete 12 Months Warranty

Microsmith Electronics in Newport completed a screen replacement on a Apple MacBook Pro A1708 .. This is one of the most common repairs we carry out at our Newport workshop, and we stock parts for a wide range of MacBook models so most jobs can be turned around the same day.

What Was Wrong

The MacBook Pro A1708 (late 2016 / 2017) features a 13″ Retina IPS display. The crack had caused significant backlight bleed and the display was largely unusable. The rest of the machine was in excellent condition — well worth repairing rather than replacing.

How We Fixed It

The damaged screen assembly was carefully removed and replaced with a quality unit. Touch response, brightness, colour accuracy, and any dead pixels were all tested before the device was returned to the customer. The repair is backed by our 12-month warranty on parts and labour.
