MacBook Pro Repair
Johannesburg

A design fault in the display flex cable causes backlight failure. Early symptoms include a bright horizontal line at the bottom of the screen and a stage-light effect when the lid is opened to a wide angle. Eventually the backlight fails completely. We replace the display assembly to resolve this permanently.

The anti-reflective coating on Retina screens separates over time, leaving blotchy, stained-looking patches that cannot be cleaned. This is a manufacturing defect in the screen coating. We replace the display assembly with a new panel that does not have this issue.

Apple's butterfly mechanism keyboard is susceptible to dust ingress, key bounce, and complete switch failure. Apple ran a repair programme that has since ended. We replace the entire top case assembly, keyboard, battery bracket, and all, with a working unit carrying a up-to-3 year warranty.

Intel MacBook Pro 15" and 16" models are known to throttle the CPU and GPU under sustained load due to inadequate thermal headroom. Symptoms include fan noise, reduced performance, and high CPU temperatures. A heatsink clean, thermal paste replacement, and SMC reset often restores full performance.
