I've handled three 2011 MacBook Pros (none of them my own-I had an Air back then), and all three of them were scrapped because of the GPU issue. The problem was so rampant, Apple was forced to set up a free repair program for affected MacBook Pros-though the 2011 model has since been dropped from that program. There was a major flaw in the AMD Radeon GPUs included with that model year's logic board which seemed to cause GPU failure either due to overheating, internal chip problems, BGA solder joints getting broken, or a combination of the above.

The 2011 MacBook Pro has, for almost a decade, been the exception to that rule.

Careers, Privacy Policy, Repair Policies.I've been a Mac user for years, and I've repaired hundreds of different Macs, from the early II series to the latest 20 model MacBook Pros, iMacs (and other Apple hardware to boot!), and there is almost never a hardware situation where I've thrown in the towel and told someone to ditch their Mac.

You can get the serial number from the bottom of the chassis, or by clicking on the Apple (пЈї)В Menu then About This Mac. For example, is the screen physically broken, or is it a case that there are no images on the screen. Either pop into one of our SimplyFixIt Repair Centres where a technician will check for you and give you the latest prices, or contact us with your serial number and a brief description of what the screen looks like. If you are not sure what model MacBook you have, don't worry. If you have the serial number of your iMac to hand it will help us to determine what model you have and what screen would be needed. If the screen has broken on your iMac, we can fix that too. It's not just MacBooks that have a screen. The good news is that, at the time of writing, we are able to do this repair for over ВЈ150 cheaper than Apple. This means that if the screen breaks on the Retina models, the entire top 'lid' of the MacBook needs to be replaced. The Retina models of the MacBooks Pro are designed in the same way as the MacBook Air The screen can not be removed from the casing. This design was later used in the Retina MacBook Pro models. One of these was that the screen, including the aluminium casing, is a single component. But in order to achieve that, Apple had to make some decisions about how it was built. The MacBook Air has a design that even now looks fantastic. This is a much cheaper repair with SimplyFixIt than Apple. So if your MacBook Pro has what looks like smashed glass, but the graphics look fine underneath that, then it should be possible to replace the glass. One the MacBook Pro, Apple introduced a glass protective screen which sits in front of the actual screen. We can have these MacBooks repaired very quickly.

The earlier white or black MacBooks had a screen that was not unlike a PC type laptop.

Plus we were able to return the MacBook to the customer faster than Apple said that they could. On some current models of MacBook Pro, SimplyFixIt was over ВЈ150 cheaper than Apple for the same repair.

Apple would probably prefer you to buy a new model if the screen is broken, so they price their repairs accordingly. We offer cheaper prices than Apple because our business is fixing computers.

We use exactly the same screens as Apple do for our repairs. SimplyFixIt have a wide range of Apple MacBook screens in stock to ensure that if your MacBook has a broken screen, we can get it back working again with the minimum of downtime. Whether you dropped your MacBook, stepped on it or even rolled on top of it, we're here to help. We are able to fix any model of Apple MacBook that has been released since 2008, right up to the latest Retina MacBook Pro models. There are a number of different models of MacBook, each of which takes a different screen. We use the same screens as Apple so you don't need to sacrifice on quality either.

It may seem as if the obvious thing to do is to pay Apple to fix the screen (although they'd probably want you to buy a new Mac), but SimplyFixIt has Apple Certified Mac Technicians who can repair or replace the screen far cheaper than Apple can. If the screen on your MacBook has broken, don't despair.
