Common Mac screen problems and how they’re diagnosed

Cracked or shattered display

Physical damage is the most obvious problem. Cracks may affect only the glass (display panel intact) or the entire LCD assembly. Diagnosis checks for touch/trackpad issues, backlight and display data signals.

Lines, dead pixels, or colour distortion

These symptoms can point to a damaged LCD panel, a failing backlight, or a loose/damaged display cable. We test both the panel and the logic board connection.

Black screen but Mac still powers on

If the Mac starts but nothing shows, the issue could be backlight failure, inverter (for older models), or display cable problems. We test with an external monitor to isolate the issue.

Flickering or intermittent display

Often caused by a failing display cable or connector, hinge damage, or a developing hardware fault. Our diagnostics will reproduce the fault and identify the failing component.

What to expect during the Mac screen repair process

Step 1 — Book an assessment

You can contact our Melbourne centre via phone, email, or online booking. We’ll take an initial description and estimate an appointment time. Postal repairs are available for customers outside the metro area.

Step 2 — Free diagnostic

We perform a full diagnostic to confirm the cause of the screen issue. Diagnostic usually include hardware checks, software tests, and verifying whether data is intact.

Step 3 — Transparent quote

After diagnostics, we provide a clear quote that lists parts, labour, and expected turnaround time. You approve the quote before we proceed.

Step 4 — Repair and quality checks

We use tested replacement screens and follow manufacturer-style procedures. After replacement, every unit goes through a multi-point quality test (display calibration, hinge check, and functional tests).

Step 5 — Collection or delivery

Once the repair is complete, you can pick up the Mac from our Richmond workshop or choose secure delivery. We include a written service summary and warranty information.

Typical turnaround times and costs in Melbourne

• Diagnostic: Usually same day (most in-store diagnostics are free).
  

• Common screen replacement: 1–3 business days for in-stock parts.
  

• Special or rare parts: 3–10 business days depending on availability.
  
  

Costs vary by Mac model (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13/15/16, Retina, etc.) and whether only the glass or the full assembly is required. We always provide a fixed quote after diagnostic. For trade customers and bulk repairs we offer competitive wholesale rates.

Warranty and aftercare

Phinko Technology backs screen replacements with a warranty on parts and labour. Warranty length depends on the type of part (genuine vs. third-party) and is clearly stated on the repair invoice. Aftercare includes:

• Post-repair testing and calibration.
  

• Advice on protecting the new screen (cases, screen protectors).
  

• Support for any post-repair issues within the warranty period.
  
  

How to prepare your Mac before repair

2. Remove passwords or disable Find My Mac if requested (we will advise when booking).
   

3. Bring original accessories if relevant (charger, case).
   

4. Note down any prior damage or issues so the technician has full context.
