Remember, dust CAN conduct electricity (similar to water, metal or human skin!) and that’s BAD for all of these exposed solder points. The “dust bunnies” are accumulating and can simply cause issues in the long run. Also, take a look at this logic board from the same unit:
So above is a picture of a fan inside of a Mac laptop…you can visually see the dust buildup on the blades.
Additionally while it wouldn’t conduct full current flow per se, the suspended particles are able to carry electric charge and differences between the charges of the particles allows dust to have conductivity.” Why would you want to?ĭid you know that simply having dust inside of your computer can cause it to fail? I spoke to a former PCB designer who stated “Dust causes arcing and can cause shorting and certainly fail an entire electrical circuit (LIKE A MOTHERBOARD!). Yes, I’m sure you clean the outside of your computer from time to time…or at least the cleaning lady does it, right? Well I bet you’re one of the millions of computer users that never opens their laptop to clean the inside. Hello there, I just talked a few minutes ago about liquid damaged units, but let’s move on to something that most people never think about: Give us a call 84 or you can place your order online here.
If you find yourself in a bind and have a cracked MacBook Pro Retina Display, do not try to do it yourself – you may end up causing more damage than you want to deal with. Not likely!!Īt Mission Repair, we have repaired thousands of MacBook Pro Retina Screens and our pricing beats the competition, and most certainly beats Apple’s replacement price by a few hundred dollars! Kudos to this customer for trying to resolve this repair on his own it how I got started in the business (repairing stuff on my own), but this was like starting to hike by trying to conquer Mt. Yes, heat is part of the process, but you cannot put these screen assemblies into an oven, in front of a space heater or use a hairdryer to correctly remove the glass. He said that the glass bubbled out like a balloon, and when it cooled it returned to “normal” shape. We recently had a customer try to make the first attempts at removing a glass panel on his own:Ĭan you see that discoloration in the middle of the screen in that picture? That where he tried to heat it up. They are simply too hard to separate without the proper tools and techniques.
The other slightly lesser known fact is that they are assembled in a clean room which mates the LCD with the glass and “seals” the entire assembly from the elements and the environment – The problem with this is that fixing a cracked screen or glass cannot be done by the “casual” technician. Have you ever wondered why the screen on your 13″ or 15″ MacBook Pro with Retina Display looks so amazing? Yes, the “retina” piece has a lot to do with it – Retina displays have a pixel density that’s so high, your eyes can’t discern individual pixels at a normal viewing distance. This gives content incredible detail and dramatically improves your viewing experience.
