Chosen Solution
Question is a friend gave me his macbook pro A1706 laptop. He slept on it by acident and broke his screen. Now to me i really dont think the screen behind the glass is broke. I do know the glass is broken unless its an all in one lcd screen. On this site they do sell macbook pro screens but can i just buy a glass bezel instead or do i have to buy the whole entire lcd screen and if so which one would i get. I know they cost alot but i just wanted to ask.
Despite what it looks like there’s no glass covering screen, it’s just an about 1mm thick sandwich that makes the retina screen and when it breaks it’s so hard to replace it that only a few very skillful specialized labs are able to reuse the aluminium lid for refurbishing. You’ll have to replace the lid, I know it’s painfully expensive but there are no other options.
Buying a used machine with bad logic board to swap the screen could be a solution if you can find one at a good price. Good luck :-)
