Retinal display assembly vs. LCD replacement

If you have access to an Apple-owned store, you can make an appointment for a FREE diagnostic and hands-on inspection from folks who put their hands on these computers all day every day.

Once you hear what they have to say, it may direct the way you proceed.

One big problem for self-repairers today is that Apple has reduced the number and increased the complexity of their field-replaceable units, and the individual parts you want may not be available as new. Today, they tend to swap the display-assembly-with-aluminum-cover as one unit, and do no small individual parts (like screen cover-glass) replacement.

That does not stop the used market from producing the used parts you need, but it makes everything more complicated.
