Macbook Pro M1 14" screen gone 99% dim. Everything else seems to work eg when connected via HDMI.

 

My question is, is there anywhere in Dunedin that can replace the screen?

 

(I guess only if it doesn't cost as much as the laptop is worth!)

 

Any ideas?

 

Otherwise I'm selling it as a "desktop" lol!

If you want legit then Service Plus, if 3rd party then Golden Leaf

If you google "mac screen repair dunedin" you'll find plenty of options.

Depending on your use-case, if you want to replace it, the MacBook Neo starts at $1,149.

 

The 512GB model with Touch ID is $1,349.
