Diagnosing the Dim Screen on 13″ MacBook Pro
A professional MacBook Pro A1708 Backlight Repair was required for this 13″ 2017 model (RepairID: #2203). The laptop arrived with a black screen, but a faint image was visible when using a torch. This symptom confirms that the LCD panel is healthy, but the backlight system has failed. This is the infamous “Flexgate” issue that plagues many 2016 to 2018 MacBooks. Therefore, we provide a specialized MacBook Pro A1708 Backlight Repair to restore brightness without the high cost of a new screen assembly.
MacBook Pro A1708 Backlight Repair – Inspecting the Damaged Flex
Understanding the Flexgate Cable Failure
The backlight ribbon cable in these models is often too short. Every time you open the lid, the cable stretches and eventually cracks. While we recently covered a similar case for the 15″ model, the A1708 (13″ Non-Touch Bar) is just as susceptible to this design flaw. Our MacBook Pro A1708 Backlight Repair targets these micro-fractures in the ribbon cable. Instead of replacing the entire top half of the laptop, we focus on repairing the specific electrical traces that have snapped over years of use.
Precision Micro-Soldering and Wire Bridging
To perform this MacBook Pro A1708 Backlight Repair, we use a microscope to bridge the broken traces with wires as thin as a human hair. We also install a slightly longer backlight cable connector to reduce future tension. This surgical approach preserves your original Retina display and its vivid colors. Once we complete the soldering, we thoroughly isolate the wires to prevent any short circuits. This method typically costs a third of the price of a full screen replacement.
