Common MacBook Pro A1708 faults we repair
- Butterfly keyboard faults (sticky or repeating keys)
- Screen backlight "stage light" faults from the display cable
- Battery swelling
- Liquid damage
Every repair starts with a diagnosis, and we give you a fixed price before any work. If the fault is on the logic board, we repair it at component level instead of replacing the whole board.
Data recovery from the A1708
The MacBook Pro A1708 stores your files on a removable SSD module, which we can replace.
Because the SSD comes out, a dead logic board does not mean lost files: we can read the SSD in a working Mac and copy your data off. If FileVault was switched on, we need your login password to unlock it.
Upgrades
- Larger SSD: the SSD module can be replaced with a larger one, and we move your files across.
- Memory: Soldered to the logic board, so it can't be upgraded.

Questions
Where do I find the model number?
Turn the MacBook Pro over. The model number starts with A and is printed in small grey type on the bottom case, near the hinge.
Can you get my files off a MacBook Pro A1708 that will not turn on?
Because the SSD comes out, a dead logic board does not mean lost files: we can read the SSD in a working Mac and copy your data off. If FileVault was switched on, we need your login password to unlock it.
Is a MacBook Pro A1708 worth repairing?
Usually, yes. Board-level repair keeps the cost well below a replacement board, and it is often the only way to get your files back.
