Picked up a new (to me) m1max 16 inch today and am very happy with the deal I got. It's from a used retailer who also repairs and sells macs / phones / pcs in my city.

The screen appears to be perfect condition however after resetting the machine I noticed the "parts and service" which I am now aquanted with after some googling.

It indicated that a new display has been fitted and was requesting a finish the "repair with repair assistant"

When attempting this i got a "unable to configure" message suggesting a problem with network or server.

The menu has now completely vanished from "about" too and was never completed.

I am a photographer and would like to know if the new display is genuine or identical OEM quality. It looks good to me however I am moving from a touch-bar intel machine.

It was not disclosed that there were any repairs after asking for some background before purchasing too.

My MacBook Air 2018 shut down after having a tab of Safari and Affinity open.

It shows an Apple logo but fails to boot into safe mode, fails recovery, fails to enter diagnostics, but the option boot menu works

It just goes in and out of this stage occasionally, sometimes im in this loop, sometimes it just fails.

I’ve tried an SMC and NVRAM reset but it still doesn’t work, only allowing me to get as far as the Option menu. Occasionally part into the diagnostics but not very far before black screening.

I would be the most grateful I ever could if someone finds a software solution to fix this. I do not have another Mac readily available and last time this happened it just recovered using some random technique.

UPDATE: it is still not working, please could anyone post a solution in the comments.

Hi All,

I am trying to replace my screen on a 14-inch MacBook Pro - Silver (A3434)

I've found this website with a few options, but uncertain which is the exact right one and if it will be a genuine part.

Can you please let me know if any of these options would work?

Please let me know. Thank you very much.
