Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you replace a MacBook Pro 13-inch A1708 (2016-2017) screen?
Most MacBook Pro 13-inch A1708 (2016-2017) screen replacements are completed the same day when the part is in stock, often within a couple of hours of dropping in at our Liverpool Street workshop in London. We inspect the device first, and if a part needs to be ordered in or we find wider damage, we confirm a realistic timeframe with you before starting. Mail-in repairs are turned around as quickly as the post allows once your device arrives.
Check current turnaround and reserve a slot on our booking page.
Is my problem the screen or something else?
Cracked glass, lines, flicker, dead patches, discolouration or a panel that stays dark while the device still powers on almost always points to the display assembly. The display is usually replaced as a single assembly, so cracked glass and panel faults are typically resolved by the same repair. If the device will not power on, has been exposed to liquid, or shows more than one symptom, a short diagnosis confirms the fault before you commit.
If you are not certain, it is worth booking a quick diagnosis first.
What quality of screen do you use for the MacBook Pro 13-inch A1708 (2016-2017)?
We fit a high-quality replacement display chosen specifically for the MacBook Pro 13-inch A1708 (2016-2017), then calibrate and test it before return. The replacement restores full brightness and colour, and it carries our 12-month warranty. If more than one option becomes available for your model, we will explain the choice clearly before any work begins.
See how we fit and test each repair on our how we work page.
Will brightness and the screen features work afterwards?
Yes. We test brightness, backlight, colour and the full panel before your MacBook Pro 13-inch A1708 (2016-2017) is returned. Where the display includes a camera or ambient light sensor, we check these after fitting, since they connect through the display assembly. Everything is verified before the device goes back to you.

Do I lose my data during a screen repair?
No. A MacBook Pro 13-inch A1708 (2016-2017) screen replacement is a hardware-only repair and does not require us to wipe or factory reset your device, so your files and settings stay as they are. We still recommend keeping a recent backup before any repair, simply as good practice in case the device has damage beyond the screen. Nothing about the screen procedure itself touches your storage.

What warranty comes with the MacBook Pro 13-inch A1708 (2016-2017) screen repair?
Every MacBook Pro 13-inch A1708 (2016-2017) screen replacement includes a 12-month warranty covering both the fitted display and our workmanship. If a fault develops with the part or the fitting within that period, we put it right at no extra cost. The warranty does not cover fresh impact damage, liquid exposure or an unrelated fault that appears later, which we always explain clearly before you book.
Our team is happy to help before you book.
