Looking to replace my cracked display assembly for the Early 2015 A1502 model. For some reason, the late 2013, mid 2014 models can go as low as $300 used but I cannot find any one specifically for the early 2015 model less than $700. Can someone tell me if these are compatible I haven’t found anything on the subject.
Unfortunately the part for the 2015 model is a little different than the other two. The 13 in. early 2015 model part number is ‘661-02360’ while the part for the 13in 2013/2014 is ‘661-8153’. What I would recommend is to either contact Apple or take it to an apple store/authorized apple service provider and check their prices. There is usually a mail in option for a flat rate fee of about $350 or so I believe that you can get the computer repaired for, or you can have them repair it or possible provide the part to you for around $350-$500. It’s still pretty pricey, but it will come straight from apple and be cheaper than your $700 alternatives.
I have done this before and I found out that you can swap the displays and it will work, but with some issues. (i´m not sure exactly of the parts number i used, but in my experience) What I encountered so far, is that:
- When turning on the MacBook the Apple logo and loading bar screen will show after a couple of seconds.
- Sometimes the backlight will lock up and will not increase/decrease, this can easily be fixed by “sleeping your screen”, then turning it back on, i set that the lower left corner of the desktop will sleep my screen, so whenever i have this issue i just roll the cursor to that corner. iSight camera, bluetooth and WiFi works perfectly.
