Visible damage
Send a photograph of the whole screen, the lid corners and the hinges. Tell us whether the MacBook was dropped or closed on an object. A damaged lid or hinge can affect a new assembly, so those details belong in the quote.

MacBook Pro A1708 screen replacement.
Model-specific screen assessment for MacBook Pro A1708. Confirm the display assembly, lid condition, part option and fitting quote before repair.
- Quote before repair
- Kibler Park workshop
- Paid pickup by arrangement
Confirm the exact MacBook first
For an A1708 without Touch Bar, confirm the year and exact model before discussing a replacement display. The age and condition of the rest of the MacBook matter to the repair decision. Include battery runtime, keyboard condition and whether the machine remains useful for your applications, as well as photographs of the broken screen.
An older MacBook may have more than one available part condition, but availability must be checked at the time of quoting. If you consider a used or refurbished assembly, ask about cosmetic condition, image quality, camera, hinges, tested functions and warranty. Do not assume that a lower price means the quotation includes the same part condition as another offer.
Cracked display or another display-path fault?
Dark screen while the MacBook runs
Tell us whether the computer starts, whether an external image appears and whether sound or other functions continue. The display, cable path, backlight circuit or board output may need assessment. An external image is useful evidence, not a complete diagnosis.
Make the part option clear
Before approval, confirm the intended assembly, its condition and what fitting and testing include. New, used and refurbished options are different and depend on availability. A quotation should make the proposed option clear rather than implying that every screen has the same condition or warranty.
The checks discussed at handover should include a stable image, brightness adjustment, camera, sleep and wake, lid movement and the reported fault where applicable. Existing unrelated problems should be recorded before work begins so the display repair is clear.
Is this screen repair worthwhile?
We compare the proposed screen repair with the total work the A1708 needs. A healthy machine with isolated display damage may justify repair; a failing battery, damaged keyboard and board fault can change the economics. You can ask for a repair-or-replace discussion before a part is ordered. No old quotation is treated as a current fixed price.
Files, collection and approval
Back up important files if the MacBook can be used safely. Explain any data concern before assessment. A screen replacement does not include a guarantee of data recovery and does not resolve an unrelated storage or logic-board fault.
Send your area before arranging transport. Our workshop is at 32 Murray Rd, Kibler Park, Johannesburg South. Paid pickup and delivery are quoted upfront. Confirm the replacement part, complete repair quotation and any deposit requirement before payment.
Questions before booking
What does A1708 screen replacement cost?
The current quote depends on the confirmed generation, compatible assembly, part condition, availability and any other damage. Send the model and screen photographs first.
Can a replacement screen fix every black-screen fault?
No. A screen, cable, backlight or logic-board problem can produce a dark display. We assess the fault before recommending a part.
Is the part already in stock?
Availability is confirmed for your model when the quotation is prepared. The page is a repair enquiry, not a live stock listing.
