When I took it to an Apple Authorized Repair shop, I was told I would have to pay £804 to get the display fixed – since I was out of warranty and didn’t have Apple Care+. Unsurprisingly, the entire screen went blank three days later. That was the moment I knew it would only last a few days at best. There was a small line going through the entire display. The top center of the display, just below the camera, turned purple, and some pixels looked completely dead. That’s when I realized that I had made a massive mistake. When I finished the cleaning process, I cleaned up and put the back cover back on, and opened the lid. I must’ve put too much pressure on the display at one point by accident.
Unfortunately, separating the back panel from the chassis was more tricky than I initially thought, and while I made sure I was gentle and went as slow as possible. Sometime in mid-June, I decided to take off the back cover and de-dust the machine on my own – I’ve watched several tutorial videos, and even read iFixit’s teardown guides to see the steps required to remove the back panel.
Over the summer, I faced a ton of overheating issues due to the dust that built up in the Mac. Before I go any further, I think it would help a lot to understand my situation if I described the condition of my MacBook Pro that I was trading in.
