Very difficult to install but worth it

It took me over an hour to remove the glass from an old MacBook Pro. I made sure to seal the cracked screen with tape to minimize the glass falling out, heat the glue and all that. I removed tiny piece of glass by tiny piece. After finally removing all the broken glass and installing new screen glass, I still had a stain under the screen that is visible when the computer is on. I must not have been paying attention or noticing until the computer was on and the new adhesive had already bonded…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Replacement availability

Hard work but great product

I saved a lot of money replacing my wife's broken MacBook screen. The final product looks like new! Just be very careful and watch tutorial videos online before trying. I was able to remove the old screen from around the house using a hair dryer and tools, but it took a lot longer than a heat gun. Work indoors (broken glass is everywhere) and protect your hands and eyes. Even with thin rubber gloves I managed to get a nasty cut. In the end it was worth it. So if you're ready to replace your…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

I hope this is the exception.

I ordered this part for a customer who needed a quick fix so I chose it because it came with adhesive. However, it arrived quickly - looks like the glass I received was "installed" earlier. The glue shows clear traces of a previous installation. In addition, the list does not indicate whether the camera mount is pre-installed. The device I received DOES NOT have a camera mount but it looks like there is one as you can clearly see the adhesive tabs. There are usually plastic coatings on both…

Pros
  • Additional information
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Poor quality product with photos to prove it. White lines

This is a defective product. After installation, I noticed white streaks between the glass panes. The lines were visible when there were light reflections on the screen. The bad thing is that this wasn't noticed until the screen was installed; Of course it broke when you pulled it off. I marked them in one of the pictures. I wouldn't put this screen on my $1200 Macbook! Very poor quality and I assume there is air in the screen when assembled by the manufacturer. I think I lost 15 dollars. Do…

Great for replacing a cracked screen

I used this to replace a cracked screen on a 2011 15" MacBook Pro. It works as intended and saved me money on a screen replacement. I just heated up a cracked screen bezel on a MacBook, removed the old screen and replaced it with this one, it worked.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Good but not great

Great price, perfect fit

Good workmanship, exact replacement for the original. Easy to install, remember you only get one chance to align and install it correctly. Be sure to thoroughly clean the LCD screen from dust, lint, fingerprints, etc. Alcohol wipes are best for electronics.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Annoying

It was beautiful and fit perfectly.

I don't have a hair dryer so I used a hair dryer to remove the old screen on my Macbook. A little tip if you don't have a heat gun. I also didn't have a peeping tool and ended up using a plastic credit card. So to the product. It is crystal clear, fits perfectly and has very nice and precisely placed adhesive strips that make assembly a dream. It ended up taking me about 15 minutes to replace my Macbook's broken glass screen. It seemed very durable and the packaging was excellent too. In…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

I can't get enough of the screen.

Much more difficult than expected. However, this did not go beyond the average ability of a home champion. The adhesive strips used are no joke and will not go down without a fight. But once the entire cracked screen is removed and the rest cleaned/prepared, the new screen works smoothly and hassle-free. This project learned a few lessons, but I would happily do it again.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Neutral

Great bang for the buck!

Really Happy DIY Project! I used a hair dryer to gently soften the original screen and it came off without too much trouble, mine was already broken leaving a few small bits of glass floating around (make sure you have a clean area to work and maybe lay a disposable towel as a work surface). I saw a few reports of adhesion issues so I removed all of the old tape and then prepared an adhesive pad (3m 06396) so I didn't have these issues. I managed to get two particles in and there is a line…
