MacBook Pro 2021 & 2022 Have ‘Reduced Useability’ Because of New Software Lockdown
Panesar says the MacBook in the video was a device that came from another repair shop that couldn’t figure out what was causing the problem. To get around the issue, Panesar removed the IC from the original broken display and soldered it on to a display from a different MacBook, which removed the white shadow and bars.
This is how he gets around potential defects caused by serialization, which requires knowledge of microelectronics and soldering. A non-Apple part may produce the defect shown in the video, as will an original Apple display if the ICs are not transferred over. The other option is for the repair shop to buy a new part from Apple, which will come with the correct embedded serial number, and fit it. It is then calibrated using Apple’s proprietary software to pair the component to the logic board.
Those parts are expensive and the cost is passed on to the consumer. Also, the calibration software is only available to repair shops that sign up to Apple’s Independent Repair Provider Program. Panesar says he refused to join the program because companies have to sign an NDA, which would prevent him from sharing information about what he finds during the repair process. I reached out to Apple about this but I didn’t receive a reply by the time of publishing.
But there are pitfalls with the latter option. Soldering ICs onto new parts is difficult and few repair shops do it. Device owners also have to make sure they keep all original parts for this method to work. If they haven’t, then they will have to pay Apple for a repair.
