    You may want to start by identifying the model of your MacBook Pro, i.e., "MacBook Pro (Retina, 13 inch, Mid 2014)."

     

    "macpro notebook," is not cutting it.

     

    And, if it is truely a MacBook Pro, you've posted to the wrong forum area, as this one is for the 12" Retina MacBooks.

    Given your topic originally was in MacPro (desktop pro tower) section

    and when asked to be relocated, suggestion was given then to hosts

    as best-guess, to place it into the MacBook Pro ASC: that didn't help.

     

    An almost common misdirect occurs for the MB/Pro portable topics, to

    find themselves wandering lost, among mountainous powerful towers...

     

    Depending on your portable MacBook Pro build model & year, and size

    of display, the hardware will vary as will the takeapart to repair said unit.

     

    You may be able to locate the correct unit (if MB/Pro portable) from among:

    https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro  macbook pro repair guides

     

    Then see if the prospects of a DIY are within your technical skill set, or not.

    Specialized tools and tedious steps of micro-surgery may be involved.

    And if their guide suggests the repair is do-able, then you may try it...

     

    In any event...

    Good luck & happy computing!

    You may also consider the prospect of setting an appointment at Apple

    store with Genius, ahead of a visit, to assure you some time to explain

    the issue and see what kind of recommendation they can suggest...

     

     

    {At least with a portable Mac, an entire unit is most easily transported.}

     

    As these items get older, the referral often is to an outside repairer who

    is Apple Authorized; or if enough is needing repair, you could opt to get

    an overhaul ~ for a set fee. Depending on your location, this may vary.

     

    If that's the only issue...

    Good luck & happy trails!
