Hallo!

I have a 17” unibody MacBook Pro which has a faulty datacable (possibly only) male-connector, and only the backlighting works. I tried one repairer and was told that it would need a whole new lid (about $1600), which seems absurd seeing that the screen is replaceable (see iFixit)—leave irreplaceability to the retina ones!

Would anyone please advise me here, as i have tried to find a matte LED-LCD screen but only glossy ones have i found. Does anyone know of a repairer who would try a new matte screen—as it would need to be plugged in first to make sure that it works—and fit it should it work?

Thanking you
