There aren’t many manufacturers who are up to the challenge of making MacBook screens as the process is long, highly complex and costly. You can buy just the screen and fiddle around with applying it but that is very dangerous and so, here at MED we buy whole MacBook lids to make the process easier and a lot less risky.

Why are MacBook screen replacements expensive?
Third party manufacturers use the highest quality materials to produce these hence the high price for their product which means the overall repair price will be quite high too and the biggest chunk of that price is the supply cost of the lid itself.
The total price for the replacement will mostly consist of the price of the part rather than labour as it only takes up to an hour to complete.
Although the assembly of the lid doesn’t take forever to do, it does take a skilled technician with loads of experience to put it in place to make sure there is no further damage especially that the connection is on the motherboard.
The lid consists of many things, not just the screen.
The LCD panel (retina) Display sandwiched between a aluminium case and a cover glass.The front facing camera that is part of the lid and also has to be connected on the motherboard. If that step is missed, FaceTime and webcam will not work.
There are also cables that help the wifi to amplify the signal, essentially they work as an antenna.
The lid itself is made of aluminium which is not a random pick from Apple. Aluminium is lighter than most metals, yet it is quite rigid making the laptops light and a great fit for all the parts. Aluminium is a great conductor of heat which dissipates heat to the environment, helping the fans to run cooler.

Is your iPad having a charging problem and you don’t know what to do? You plug it in expecting it to charge, but the screen remains completely black or is stuck at the battery sign? In this post we will explain what to do when your iPad is not charging and show you how to fix the fault. When the iPad stops charging you should check the following: The iPad charger: make sure the charging adapter is plugged in the wall plug try with another device that you have on hand use only MFi-Certified charger try to charge your iPad from a usb port such a computer/laptop can be very slow, we would recommend using a usb port that supports 2A 10w minimum. The charging port If you tried other lightning cables and the charging adapter, now is time to look inside of the port and specifically, we’re looking for any dirt or lint that could be preventing your Lightning cable from making a clean connection to your iPad’s charging port. This is quite rare on iPads but more commonly seen on iPhones. If you feel the connection is loose when the cable is plugged in it could mean the dirt is getting in the way or a more serious fault with the charging port that may need repairing. This could be caused by wear and tear after months or years of usage and inevitably the charging port will need replacing. If you're not sure, send your device to us for diagnostics. See below how we conduct diagnostics. How do i clean my charging port? See the links below on how to clean the port yourself. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8026378 https://appletoolbox.com/iphone-not-charging-lightning-port-problems-fix/
Out of the common signs your battery is failing - slow charge, not lasting all day, dying unexpectedly, a swollen battery is the most urgent and dangerous. Battery swelling happens due to "outgassing", which occurs when a battery gets overcharged, damaged, or simply old. Under those circumstances, the chemical reaction that keeps your battery running breaks down and, just like the name suggests, outputs gas. The battery casing is built to contain that nasty gas—so, inevitably, it bloats up. The iPad batteries are lasting a lot longer than the iPhone ones, understandably, we are glued to our phones all day long these days unlike the iPad that may accompany us half the time an iPhone would. from our experience we have seen that the iPads that have 2+ years and over 400 load-cycles start showing signs of needing a battery replacement. How do i know if the iPad battery is swollen/expanded How could you tell a battery is swollen? It’s not always obvious but it may show by rising your screen. That’s when the screen looks like it’s separating from the rear housing. Another symptom is when screen sensitivity is impaired by the battery inflating and pushing up the screen which is pulling the cables out of their place. You may also see pressure marks on the screen. Once the device is open, you may see the battery’s wrapping is wrinkly or inflated.
We understand that in today’s times no one wants to be left alone without their device for a long period of time. This is why we offer super fast mail-in repairs that are completed on the day we receive the device and we send it straight back the same day *(most repairs) via first class signed for Royal Mail service or Special Delivery.
First of all, turn off your phone and do not plug it in on charge. You don’t want to be supplying electricity to a phone full of liquid, it could create more damage making the repair costly!
Forget what mainstream media says about using rice. Unfortunately rice does not magically suck out the water from the inside of your phone and actually leaving it in rice can create more damage than good by getting tiny bits of rice stuck inside ports.
