MacBook Pro Retina Screen Repairs – not an easy task.

Hello there Mac lovers…

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.

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.  They are simply too hard to separate without the proper tools and techniques.

We recently had a customer try to make the first attempts at removing a glass panel on his own:

Can you see that discoloration in the middle of the screen in that picture?  That where he tried to heat it up.  He said that the glass bubbled out like a balloon, and when it cooled it returned to “normal” shape.

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.  Physics simply doesn’t permit it.  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. Everest.  Not likely!!

At 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!

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.  Give us a call 844-459-0105 or you can place your order online here.  We’re ready to help you.

Macbook Pro With A Cracked RETINA DISPLAY?

No Problem!

Hello M:R Nation, The 15″ and 13″ MacBook Pros with RETINA DISPLAY are the cream of the crop, the Ferrari, the…well… Apple of the Laptops computers. If you have ever seen one up close, you know that they are one of the most beautiful designed pieces of hardware ever created. While I don’t currently use one (I’m going for this new “Don’t buy EVERYTHING Apple releases diet) I see them come through our tech benches on a daily basis. While its safe to say that we have yet so see anything naturally fail on these computers, the older they become, the more likely that is a possibility. Unfortunately, user related damage and failure is another story completely.

A freshly repaired 15″ Retina Display Macbook Pro!

The majority of the issues we see with this computer are screen related. Sure, we will often see coffee spilt on the key board, I/O functions going haywire and logic boards frying, but the usual culprit for the owners headache is a damaged screen.

From the very moment these computers were released, we decided that we were going to repair these! They were too beautiful to ignore and leave hanging in the pits of despair that is accidental damage. Repairs started at a very high price, which is normal for any new device. But over time, the price tag started to get smaller and smaller until we landed on where we are now. $399.00 for a full retina display screen repair!

We offer it for both the 13″ and 15″ models and we are super quick to get it back to you! This is no ordinary screen replacement mind you. We have to actually dig out all of the internals of your display, shards of glass and all, and start from scratch. Installing layer after layer, until the computer is as beautiful and functions just as it did on the day that you first opened it!

We at Mission Repair would be honored to repair your MacBook Pro 13″ RETINA DISPLAY Glass and LCD Repair or MacBook Pro 15″ RETINA DISPLAY Glass and LCD Repair! Just click on those links to get started, or give us a call…lets have a chat about how we can get your piece of design history back in full working order!

Cracked Macbook Pro with Retina Display? Mission Repair Has You Covered!

Happy Monday M:R Nation –

Did you know that Mission Repair services the newest Macbook Pro with Retina display? We actually service both the 13″ and 15″ models which have just recently been released by Apple.

What makes these services differ from our normal Macbook Pro Repairs? Well, it’s that beautiful Retina display. Thinner and more crisp than ever, you would have to imagine that there is some kind of new technology used for this result? Well, this is a yes and no. What you see on the Retina display Macbook Pro is the same thing you see on the new Macbook Air, the whole display is built into the display backing.

You can see in the above picture the different layers that are included in the new MacBook Pro Retina display assembly. What should really jump out to the trained eye is the fact that the glass is no longer a separate piece. It too, is built into the display backing with all of the other LCD components. In fact, the glass is now considered a component of  the LCD screen. This is how Apple has produced such a masterful display. In true Apple fashion, less has become so much more!

With this new configuration, this means that this is not a project for the DIY’er! This is not something you would want to do sitting at your kitchen table. This procedure calls for a few specialty tools that you can’t pick up at the local hardware store, unfortunately. However, if you are considering completing this repair yourself, you should start with the tool needed first and foremost, a cleanroom. This should only set you back a few hundred grand 😉

A cleanroom will help you keep any dust or debris from entering those layers that you are building into the display back. Now, we know most of you don’t have a few hundred grand to just throw towards a cleanroom and this is where Mission Repair has you covered! We will do all of the work for you! We have all of the tools, the  professionally trained technicians and experience to turn your frown upside down!

We are now offering both the MacBook Pro 15″ RETINA DISPLAY Glass and LCD Repair and  MacBook Pro 13″ RETINA DISPLAY Glass and LCD Repair services! We have had the 15″ service up for some time now, but never really announced it. With the addition of the 13″ service, we find this to be the perfect time for that! So starting today, we are actually officially announcing these services! Along with screen services, we also have diagnosis, superdrive and logic board flat rate services, so please look out for those.

We are excited to offer these much needed services and hope to save you some cash along the way. Repairing your Retina display with Mission Repair will be 1/4 the cost of buying a new laptop. This is a number I can’t make up. So please contact us at 866-638-8402 with any questions you may have and enjoy the first Monday of March!

Cheers, Troy
