If your MacBook display is cracked, flickering, or black, a MacBook Pro screen replacement Coquitlam technician at Moe Repair can help.

Why choose MacBook Pro screen replacement Coquitlam at Moe Repair
We specialize in MacBook repair and laptop repair in Coquitlam with hands-on diagnostics and transparent quotes. When you bring a MacBook for a screen replacement we check the display assembly, backlight, display cable, and logic board traces. We also test for related problems like trackpad or camera issues caused by a cracked top case. For general computer needs, see our computer repair in Coquitlam page to learn more about on-site and in-shop services.
Common screen damage and symptoms
Typical symptoms customers report include:
- Visible glass cracks with touch still responsive
- Black screen but audio plays or external display works
- Vertical or horizontal lines across the display
- Backlight dimming or uneven lighting
- Flickering at startup or after hinge movement
- Partial touch responsiveness or ghosting on Touch Bar models
These symptoms help us decide whether you need glass-only repair, full LCD replacement, or a logic board inspection for display power issues.
How we diagnose MacBook Pro screen issues
Diagnosis starts with a visual inspection. We open the hinge area to inspect the display cable and check for liquid corrosion. We connect to an external monitor to confirm if the GPU and mainboard are outputting video. If the external monitor shows a clean image the issue is usually the display assembly or its cable. We also run Apple diagnostics and stress tests, check the display inverter for older models, and inspect the camera and ambient light sensor while the unit is powered.
Typical repair procedures and parts
After diagnosis we present options. Common repair steps include:
- Reseating or replacing the display cable or connector
- Replacing the entire display assembly for Retina models
- Glass-only replacement when LCD and backlight are intact
- Repairing hinge mounts and resecuring the display to prevent future cable stress
- Testing for related issues like battery swelling that can press the screen
We use OEM-quality or high-grade aftermarket panels depending on availability and customer preference. We do not replace parts unnecessarily; for example, if the LCD is fine and only the glass is shattered we may recommend a glass-only repair to reduce cost. For broader laptop work, customers often combine screen replacement with an SSD upgrade or battery replacement to extend the machine’s life. Learn more about our laptop repair in Coquitlam options.
Real repair example from Coquitlam
A recent customer from Port Moody brought a 2016 MacBook Pro 13 with a cracked display and intermittent vertical lines. I inspected the screen and connected an external monitor. The external output was clean, so I removed the display assembly and checked the LVDS cable. The cable had frayed insulation near the hinge and a bent pin on the board connector. After replacing the display cable and installing a grade-A replacement Retina panel, I calibrated the display and ran a burn-in test. The final result was a stable image and no lines. I explained the repair steps and provided a 90-day parts and labour check. If you need MacBook repair in Coquitlam or surrounding areas, we can also help with data backups and data recovery in Coquitlam before any major work.
Costs, turnaround and warranty
Costs vary by model and whether you need glass-only or full-panel replacement. Typical turnaround for common MacBook Pro models is same-day to 48 hours when parts are in stock. We test each repaired unit under load and include a limited warranty on parts and labour. We cannot guarantee outcomes for machines with severe liquid damage or extensive logic board failure, but we present diagnosis and options upfront so you can make an informed choice. For motherboard or logic board concerns we offer repair or replacement advice and, when needed, can perform solder-level motherboard repair.
Preventive tips and what to bring
Before arriving, back up your data or ask about a backup service. If the screen is shattered, bring the MacBook in a padded sleeve to prevent shards. Avoid attempting to pry the glass yourself โ you can damage the LCD or camera. If you see battery swelling, stop using the machine and bring it in immediately. For other repairs like keyboard replacement or trackpad repair, combining services often saves time and shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a MacBook Pro screen replacement take?
Turnaround depends on the model and parts availability. Most MacBook Pro screen replacements at Moe Repair complete same day or within 48 hours if parts are in stock. We confirm timing during diagnosis and give you options if parts need to be ordered.
Can you repair a cracked glass without replacing the LCD?
Sometimes. If the LCD and backlight are intact we can perform a glass-only repair for certain Retina models. We test the panel first; if the LCD shows any damage or touch problems, a full display assembly replacement is recommended.
Will my data be at risk during screen replacement?
Screen replacement does not normally affect stored data, but accidents happen. We advise backing up prior to service. If you cannot back up, ask about our data recovery in Coquitlam options before repair starts.
Do you use OEM parts for MacBook Pro screens?
We source OEM-quality parts where available. We will present OEM and high-grade aftermarket options and explain the differences in price and expected performance.
