How long does a MacBook screen repair take?

A cracked or failing MacBook screen stops most people working, so the time a repair takes matters. The honest answer is that it depends on your model, the damage and the parts, which is why we assess first and then give you a time with the quote.

MacBook screen repair at the 73inc lab in Grey Lynn

What decides the time

  • Your model. Display assemblies differ between MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models and sizes.
  • The damage. A cracked panel is different from a failed backlight, a damaged display cable or liquid damage.
  • Parts. Some displays are on hand, others need to be ordered.
  • What else we find. If the fall or spill damaged something else, we tell you before going further.

How a screen repair works at 73inc

  • Assessment. We check the display, cables, backlight and the rest of the machine. The assessment fee is $149 to $230 depending on the device and is deducted from your final approved quote. See all assessment fees.
  • Quote and time. You get the price, the parts option for your model and a realistic time before any work starts.
  • Repair. We fit the display and repair at component level where that is the better fix.
  • Testing. Every repair is fully tested before it goes home: image, brightness and hinge movement.

Keep your data safe

If you can, back up before you drop your MacBook off. If the screen is too damaged to use, tell us and we will plan the repair so your files are protected.

Warranty

Screen repairs carry a 90-day return-to-base warranty on applicable parts and labour.

My experience at 73inc was nothing short of exceptional. They fixed my laptop in a timely manner while answering any questions I had in relation to the repair which made me feel very comfortable that I was working with professionals. A very high level of service you don't see as much these days, would recommend them for any technology repairs. Thanks.

Thanks so much, 73inc. When my computer died, I was dreading getting a new one and transferring everything. You sorted it all out for me in a day—saving the data I was scared to lose. Great customer service.
