MacBook Pro M1 A2338 Screen Replacement | 500-Nit Retina Display Assembly, 227 PPI Panel, Space Gray or Silver
Swapped on the bench in about ninety minutes, with True Tone and ambient light sensing intact
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
MacBook Pro M1 A2338 screen replacement is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 45,000, covering the full 13.3-inch Retina display at 2560x1600 native resolution and 500 nits of brightness. The part matches the Late 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro carrying model number A2338 and EMC 3578 on the underside of the chassis. Every MacBook Pro M1 A2338 screen replacement arrives brand new and sealed as a single lid unit, with the panel, bezel, aluminium shell, hinges, Wi-Fi antenna cable and 720p FaceTime HD camera already fitted inside. Mascom International holds stock at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, with fitting handled on site.
A dead lid stops billable work the same morning it happens. Architects running AutoCAD from Westlands offices, video editors cutting in Final Cut Pro, advocates preparing bundles for Milimani Law Courts, and journalists filing copy from Parliament all lose days when the panel goes dark after a knock in traffic or a bag pressed shut on a charger. The nearest Apple-run repair counter sits outside Kenya, so owners are quoted long waits or handed to shops that heat the bezel apart and drop a bare panel into a bent shell. The MacBook Pro M1 A2338 screen replacement closes that gap in one visit.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who quote over the phone and then go hunting for the part, Mascom International keeps the MacBook Pro M1 A2338 screen replacement on the shelf and powers each unit up before it goes anywhere near your machine. Customers consistently report True Tone, automatic brightness and video calls behaving exactly as they did on the original lid. Bring the laptop to our Kimathi Street counter for same-visit fitting, or order the assembly on its own and pay the rider when it reaches you anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the MacBook Pro M1 A2338 screen replacement
Does this assembly fit both the M1 and M2 versions of the 13-inch MacBook Pro?
Yes. Apple used the A2338 case number for the Late 2020 M1 machine, marked EMC 3578 and MacBookPro17,1, and again for the Mid 2022 M2 machine, marked EMC 8162 and Mac14,7. Hinge spacing, mounting points and the display connector match across both, and Apple service references 661-17548 and 661-17549 apply to the same lid. Order numbers covered include MYD83, MYD92, MYDA2 and MYDC2 on the M1, plus MNEH3, MNEJ3, MNEP3 and MNEQ3 on the M2.
My display lights up but shows a dark band across it, so is this the right fix?
Usually yes. A horizontal band, a cloudy bright patch, or thin vertical lines all point to damage inside the bonded panel stack rather than a logic board fault. Once the backlight sheet or the panel ribbon is creased, no software step brings the picture back. Bring the machine to our Kimathi Street counter and a technician first runs it on an external monitor. If that outside picture is clean, the fault sits in the lid and this part solves it.
Do the Touch Bar and Touch ID keep working after the swap?
Yes, and neither one is disturbed during the job. On the A2338 the Touch Bar strip, the Touch ID button and its secure pairing with the chip all sit in the base of the laptop rather than the lid. Changing the display leaves that pairing untouched, so no fingerprint re-enrolment or Apple authorisation step follows. What does come across with the new lid is the panel, the camera, the ambient light sensor and the antenna cable.
Is my data safe while the repair is happening?
Your SSD is soldered to the logic board and never leaves the machine during a display swap, so files stay exactly where they are. We still ask every customer to run a Time Machine backup or an iCloud sync first, the same caution any careful technician gives. You keep your password to yourself, since fitting and testing are done from the login screen and an external monitor where needed. Laptops stay on our Kimathi Street bench and never travel off site.
Is KSh 45,000 a fair price for this repair in Nairobi?
It buys the complete lid unit rather than a loose panel, and that is where the value sits. Cheaper quotes around town usually mean a bare LCD heated out of a donor lid and glued into your old, often dented shell. That route brings back dust lines, a soft hinge, and a camera that vanishes from System Information a few weeks later. Fitting labour at our Nairobi CBD desk is quoted openly before work starts, so the figure you hear is the figure you pay.
Can Mascom International help if I am in Mombasa, Kisumu or Nakuru?
Yes. We ship the assembly on pay-on-arrival terms to all 47 counties, so a technician near you fits it and you settle with the rider on delivery. Independent repair shops in Nyali, Kisumu town, Nakuru and Eldoret order this way every month. If you would rather we did the work ourselves, courier the laptop to Kimathi Street and it returns by the same route once tested. Call or WhatsApp +254 708 852 521 to arrange either option.
Why do bright spots appear weeks after a cheap screen repair?
Two causes come up again and again at our bench. A bent rear shell reused from the old lid presses against the backlight sheet, which shows as a glowing patch near a corner. Old adhesive left behind by a heat-and-split job then hardens and pushes on the panel edge. A complete assembly removes both problems, because shell, sheet, bezel and gasket are all new together. That is why the whole-lid route holds up over years rather than months.
Is this an original Apple part or an equivalent assembly?
We tell you plainly at the counter which stock is on hand that day, since supply moves between original service packs and equivalent assemblies built to the same fitment. Both match A2338 mounting points, connector layout and the 500-nit backlight rating, and both are inspected here before sale. What we never do is describe one as the other. Either way, the 6-month Mascom International cover applies and the camera and sensor are checked in front of you.
Technical Specifications
Panel Hardware and Brightness Figures
- 13.3-inch LED-backlit IPS panel matching original A2338 fitment, keeping the same size, coating and viewing angles.
- Native 2560x1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch, so 12-point text in Pages stays sharp.
- Rated 500 nits brightness, a full 100 nits above the MacBook Air panel, which helps beside a bright window.
- Wide colour P3 gamut, the range photographers and video editors rely on when grading skin tones.
- Fixed 60Hz refresh rate exactly as Apple shipped it; the A2338 never offered a variable rate.
- Scaled resolutions of 1680x1050, 1440x900 and 1024x640 remain selectable under macOS Display settings.
Parts Preinstalled in the Lid Unit
- Glass, panel and backlight sheet bonded as one piece, so no dust settles between the layers.
- 720p FaceTime HD camera module aligned and seated, ready for Zoom, Teams and Google Meet immediately.
- Ambient light sensor fitted, which is what keeps True Tone and automatic brightness alive after the swap.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna cable routed inside the shell, protecting signal strength on Wi-Fi 6 networks.
- Left and right hinge assemblies attached and torqued, holding any lid angle without creeping shut.
- New bezel, rear housing and edge gasket supplied together, correcting dents that stop a lid closing flat.
Which MacBook Pro Models This Fits
- Fits MacBook Pro 13-inch Late 2020, model A2338, EMC 3578, board identifier MacBookPro17,1.
- Also fits MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2022, model A2338, EMC 8162, board identifier Mac14,7.
- Matches Apple service references 661-17548 and 661-17549 for the silver and Space Gray shells.
- Covers order numbers MYD83, MYD92, MYDA2, MYDC2, MNEH3, MNEJ3, MNEP3 and MNEQ3 in xx/A form.
- Does not fit A2159, A2251 or A2289 Intel models, nor any 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro chassis.
- Model marking sits in fine print on the base, directly above the regulatory text near the hinge.
Bench Procedure and Driver Sizes
- P5 pentalobe driver opens the bottom case; a suction cup and opening pick release the hidden clips.
- Battery management flex is disconnected first, isolating power before any display cable is unplugged.
- T5 driver frees the Wi-Fi vent module and the antenna mounting points above the logic board.
- Six T8 hinge screws, three per side, release the old lid once the display connector is lifted.
- T3 and PL1 drivers handle the hinge covers and the fine screws running along the hinge line.
- Typical bench time runs 60 to 90 minutes for a technician who has done the procedure before.
Finish Options and Cosmetic Match
- Supplied in Space Gray and Silver, the two finishes Apple sold on the 13-inch A2338.
- State your finish when ordering, because a mismatched shell shows immediately against the base colour.
- Anodised aluminium keeps original thickness, so the closed laptop still slides into a slim sleeve.
- MacBook Pro lettering on the lower bezel is printed to original size and placement.
- Rubber gasket runs the full housing edge, keeping dust out and cushioning the glass when shut.
Inspection Checks Carried Out Before Handover
- Each unit is powered on and swept for dead pixels, corner clouding and backlight bleed.
- Camera detection is confirmed in System Information, so no missing module surfaces during a client call.
- •rightness is stepped from minimum to the full 500 nits to catch flicker from a mismatched driver board.
- True Tone is checked under Display settings, proving the ambient light sensor flex is correctly seated.
- Hinge tension is cycled open and shut, confirming the lid holds the angle you leave it at.
- Units failing any check go back to the supplier rather than onto the shelf, which keeps our redo rate low.
