What is the risk to replace a Macbook Pro Retina screen myself?

Hi guys, this is my first post, I recently dropped my Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid A1502 2014 for laptop, it still works but the screen is broken, lines are widespread all over the screen, I recently bought a complete of the LCD Assembly for my model, I was just wondering how risky it would be for me to fix it yourself using information online I've read a few articles from Ifixit and the sides are very positive with people who have tried and succeeded. anyone has done this before and would you recommend to me?

Here's a screenshot of my screen LCD Assembly and my Macbook Pro, thanks for the help.

If you ask the question, then you know that the risk is that you may damage the computer, the new Assembly of screen or both. Consider letting the local Apple seller fix if for you.

    Apple does not sell any upgrade to the MacBook Pro retina. If you want to upgrade the internal memory, the connector is not standard m-SATA so your options are limited.

  • Scratches on the Macbook pro retina screen.

    Hello

    I bought a Macbook pro 13 "in may 2015 Retina. In the last six months, I've noticed there are scratches that are developed not the screen. I do not use a cleaning on the screen lotion and dust with the brush dusting given to me by the retailer. He started with the corner of screens and finally spread on the screen.

    As such, there is no difference in the resolution of the screen, but I was wondering if the surface of the screen will crumble over time. Please let me know the solution for the same thing.

  • After updating to the latest El Capitain on MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015) Safari is slow when I try to search the site.

    Hi all and I hope this finds you healthy and good mood! My problem is after all the updates and I use Safari and Firefox the initial opening of the page of a site is fast! But when I try to access what anyone on this site, Safari would give me a rotation slider and status bar continues to grow. The mac does not freeze to the top and I can leave the site and go to YouTube where did not show this problem. Amazon shows this problem. Amazon appears quickly, but when I try to click on something, I am interested in the rotation slider and bar indicates no progress in bringing This page to display.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for your time!

    Sincerely,

    MacOwner

    I also have a 15.4 "display mid-2015 rMBP i7 than 2.8 GHz overclocked with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB PCIe SSD. Recently, I installed all the updates for El Capitan and 0 problems. I wonder if the objects that you are clicking are of base of Java objects? You have the latest updates for Java? If this isn't the case, I strongly encourage it.

    Because you could not rule out the possibility that the browser itself is not a problem by trying the same research on two different browsers, I would think that there may be questions about the Web servers themselves with the links you're clicking on?

    If you can post the link you go, with the object you're clicking on, then I can try try my machine and post back with the results.

    You have AV running on your computer? Personally, I don't feel the need to use AV because it is difficult to get a virus on a Unix operating system and I apply safe navigation practices. But, if you use AV then it is possible that there may be interference.

    Also, try to check the updates again. It is possible to have a corrupt update facility that can detect the operating system. But since this happens both on FF, then, I would conclude that the OS updates were successful.

    No doubt let the spinwheel go and see if Safari or FF crashes. You can post your logs here. My point is that everything is speculation at this point because we have nothing to turn off. Newspapers and error reports would be useful.

  • Spots on the screen of Macbook Pro retina (Staingate)

    Hello

    For a long time I have in my Macbook Pro retina and and a few days ago I just know that there is a site that some users have been implemented to inform this anomaly in the quality of Apple laptops Macbook Pro retina screen.

    It is very annoying and it is not a solution. However, I saw that on the www.staingate.org site all users with this problem are eligible for a full exchange of the screen.

    Do you know if there is a time limit for a full exchange of the screen? Users with more than 3 years with full screen replaced there Facebook page "https://www.facebook.com/groups/607572909386595/" and www.staingate.org .

  • What is the average lifetime of a MacBook (early 2013) Pro HD?

    What is the average lifetime of a MacBook Pro (early 2013 model) HD?

    Details of the model:

    2 x 4 GB RAM (8 GB TOTAL)

    15 "display (no retinal)

    iCore 5 (I think)

    Running El Capitan - wouldn't do most recent update

    Slow summer months.

    512 GB HD - failed just left Monday.

    Attended from Apple Store and advised irreparable. This is a major failure, that I would not have expected so early in his life.

    MacBook Pro NEVER let fall. Kept in a hard case that is attached to the beginning. A travel bag well padded laptop computer and to Uni 3 times a week and then kept on the desk at the rest house of the time.

    Less than 3-1/2 years battery life doesn't seem fair when the system was so well groomed. Backup Time Machine has been religious, who have so.

    Used mainly for photos and photo editing and University study.

    Recently migrated all THE photos and video on an external 1 TB drive (Seagate backup slim) plu.

    Any ideas or advice GREATLY appreciated.

    Hard drives, like any other mechanical device, are prone to failure. That's why you kept backups.

    Don't forget that 'medium' no means half has no sooner. There is no need to compare an average to any specific device.

    Your defective hard disks. You have a backup. Move.

  • My wife has an i5 to 2.3 GHz MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked like a slug.  Ran disk utility and verified that the disk needs repair using recovery HD.  What does this lead and what is the risk of losing all the data is there?

    Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.

    As for what it implies - most of the time nothing more than simply sitting and waiting to do his thing.

  • I think to buy a new MacBook to replace my MacBook pro mid-2010, which still runs but becomes slow.  They say the current MacBook pro without retina display (which I don't think I need) is an old system and may be obsolete soon - true?

    I'm buying a new MacBook to replace my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 4 GB of memory, which always runs, but becomes slow.   I don't think I need retina display (if I have a lot of photos and films on the subject), but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?

    Apple only can answer such a question, and the terms of use for these forums discourage us discuss what Apple plans to do.

    I too have a MBP 2010.  I installed an SSD and that increased performance.  Consider that as an option.

    You may experience other problems that slows down your MBP.  Before commit you the important cash for a new MBP, examine the potential software problems that may be responsible for the poor performance.  With the SSD, my 2010 works better than the day he came out of the box.

    The main logic of my Macbook Pro 13 "2014 card is broken, and it turns out that it will be much easier and just slightly more expensive, buying a new Macbook Pro that, in order to replace. I would like to set up my new Macbook Pro 13 "online in a way such that it is as cheap as possible, while always respecting the level of my former. So, if I could order one with the minimum of RAM and disk space hard and then put these pieces of my old in the new, this would be ideal.
