The iSight camera works fine, and as I understand it the sensor is on the same board. If the MacBook is out of warranty, then the prices vary from 250 to 450, depending on the age and the model of the laptop. Personally, I always buy AppleCare for my Mac shortly before the initial 1-year warranty ends. It turns out nothing is actually covered by that warranty except for battery issues. I bought apple care extended warranty thinking it was going to actually cover something, it was expensive but I thought it was going to be worth it if I had some problem with the computer. Had it ended before my Mac had the problem (rebooting itself randomly), it would not have been repaired or replaced anytime soon. Question: Q: Apple care scam, new MacBook Pro not worth it. Is there anything else I can try or is it just likely to be a duff sensor? I don't really want to send it back to the repairers if I can help it as it's a very slow process, it's been over 3 weeks turnaround and I'd probably be in for that timescale again. How much does it cost to repair the MacBook Pro screen If a MacBook is under AppleCare plus coverage, then fixing the MacBook screen will cost 99. I just had the system board replaced in my MacBook Pro. So it's always on full brightness, which is distracting in a low light environment.Īnd of course auto brightness is turned on. I wouldn't mind so much as the display and keyboard can be manually adjusted, but unfortunately the touch bar cannot - it relies entirely on auto adjustment based on ambient light level. Shine a torch at it, cup your hand over it, nothing happens. It's all good except for the light sensor. My insurer's terms are you have to use a repairer company that they specify (and accidental damage is not covered by Applecare in the UK) which is not Apple Authorised, so they have to use refurb parts.

I've had the display (full upper case) replaced third party after I somehow managed to crack the LCD.
