MacBook Pro 13-inch, two Thunderbolt 3 ports repair2016–2017 · Intel Core i5 / i7

Batteries are the clear majority of our A1708 jobs. At this age a swollen or worn cell is common, and a swelling battery can push the trackpad up — stop using it if that happens.

What we fix most on the A1708

We've repaired the A1708 at our workshops. Bars show the share of each fault; one job can involve more than one, so they overlap.

It uses the butterfly keyboard. Apple's keyboard service programme for these models has ended, so sticky or repeating keys are now a paid repair.
