Good product! Recommend buying additional double sided tape

Great product! Came earlier than expected. I was able to get the screen fixed for about $25 (screen + tools). Saved me so much money but required a lot of patience. Replacing the entire screen took 2 hours. I would recommend having someone around to help you hold the blow dryer or other tool you use to loosen the adhesive, it's a lot quicker. Also, the adhesive on the screen is not very strong. After a few weeks, my screen detached from the computer when I tilted the screen down. I order double

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not as good as it says

Glue is garbage. The panel is good.

I'm torn between giving the glass panel 5 stars and the supplied adhesive 1 star. I bought it because the description and answers to questions seemed to imply that it DOES NOT contain glue. I bought a whole roll of these for no reason. Except that the glue on that sheet of glass is rubbish. Please change the description to show that it comes with glue or no longer apply glue to the glass panel. Two days later, the screen started detaching from the MacBook. This seems consistent with all the…

It worked great the second time too!

A good cheap alternative to get an apple and cost $$$. My daughter broke the screen twice. (13" 2010 model). I used a hair dryer and some photos of the guitar to capture the screen. I also recommend masking off any damaged areas on the screen to avoid cutting yourself. Work from the top left or right and be careful.Camera as the mount will need to be moved to the new screen.Take your time, run your pickaxe over each seam after releasing the tape/glue.I used some gorilla super glue to make sure…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Installation Tips

I wanted to share what helped me install this glass replacement on my 2011 MacBook Pro. Before installing, turn on your computer and turn off sleep mode to keep the screen on while the heat from the LED helps soften the adhesive holding the glass to the frame. Also, NEVER use metal objects to remove adhesive residue on the frame. SLOW and careful light scraping with some plastic works best. My advice is simple - DO IT SLOWLY WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS and the whole process shouldn't take more than 1…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some small things

This is a great replacement for OEM

available This is a great replacement for OEM. Installation is pretty easy, and if you're complaining about them falling off, don't use the glue that comes with these things. It looks like they could do with refurbishment, not new. The few I ordered had streaks and stains on the inside of the glass that I had to wash off before fitting. However, if you clean them and use the right glue, they're almost indistinguishable from new ones. I only give this one a 4 for the fact that I had to clean…

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Update

BEWARE! Replacement screens

Make sure your Mac's glass isn't cracked before trying this or you're in for a long metal check. My daughters looked like a shooting star, but I decided to give it a try anyway. 4 hours later with tiny pieces of broken glass all over the table I made it. I used a lighted magnifying glass and a jewelry loop to do this! I was amazed that with all the tiny glass tips. Zero cuts on my fingers but it sure was a struggle. If there is a crack, it's probably fine, but it's not for the impatient.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Sad packaging

Good glass but needs a seal.

This replacement screen is excellent quality however an important part is missing when fitted, the gasket is not included and the original broke when removed as it is 9 years old I feel this part should come before be included in the purchase or offered to purchase it. I heated the sides of the screen with a heat gun and it took a lot of effort to take it off with a credit card, but I had to break the seal to get through. I used black quick release sealant to seal the broken parts of the…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • slightly crumpled

Worked great!

Bought to replace a cracked external screen (not a true LCD). Installation was very easy. Removing the old screen can be tedious and you may need to take your time depending on how badly your screen is damaged. I would recommend using a blow dryer on the edges to loosen the glue and I would NOT use a heat gun. You risk damaging the LCD. Cotton swabs with sticky goo will remove the remaining glue, but be careful not to spread it all over the place. Otherwise everything seems fine so far. I only…
