MacBook Pro 15" A1707 (2016-2017) LCD Screen Display Assembly

You open your 2016 or 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro a little further than usual, and the screen goes dark. Close it a bit and the picture comes back. Or maybe there's a row of uneven bright patches along the bottom edge, like stage lights. These are well-known faults on this generation, and they come from the display's cabling rather than anything you did.

This aftermarket LCD screen display assembly fits the MacBook Pro 15-inch A1707, in Silver or Space Grey, S+ Grade.

When to replace the display

Besides the angle-dependent backlight and the stage-light effect, the usual reasons are a cracked screen, lines across the picture and a display that stays black while the laptop runs. Connect an external monitor to check: if the picture there is fine, the built-in display is the problem.

Check A1707 on the bottom case and choose your lid color. The battery has to be disconnected before the display comes off, so let a technician handle it if you haven't done this kind of repair.

A new assembly replaces the panel and its cabling together, so both the lighting fault and any physical damage are dealt with at once.
