The 13.3" Retina Display Assembly for MacBook Pro A2251 / A2289 (2020) is a complete factory-original Retina display assembly for the Apple MacBook Pro / Air model A2251/A2289 (2020).

Why a complete assembly is the right repair

The MacBook Retina display is one of the most difficult laptop screens to replace as a panel-only swap — Apple bonds the glass to the LCD with optically clear adhesive, integrates antennas into the lid frame, and routes camera, microphones, and ambient-light sensor through the hinge with very fragile flex cables. A full-assembly swap is the only practical repair: 90 minutes, screws only, no glass separation, no dust contamination risk. Whether you are a student in Lahore, a freelancer in Karachi, or a professional in Islamabad, this assembly saves you time and frustration.

What we tested

Before listing, every A2251/A2289 assembly is bench-tested by Sayam himself on a known-good donor motherboard: Retina backlight at 100% to confirm uniformity, FaceTime HD camera, microphone array, ambient-light sensor (so auto-brightness still works), WiFi / Bluetooth antennas embedded in the lid, and hinge resistance at every angle. The bench test ensures that your display arrives with no dead pixels, backlight bleeding, or camera issues — common problems with untested used parts.

Who is this display for?

This assembly is ideal for MacBook users in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, and Sialkot who have a cracked or malfunctioning screen. It is also a great spare for repair shops that need guaranteed, tested stock. The 2560×1600 Retina IPS panel is perfect for photo editing, coding, and video consumption — the colour accuracy and sharpness are identical to the original Apple spec. If your current display has lines, distortion, or backlight failure, swapping to this assembly restores your MacBook to like-new condition.

Installation

Open the bottom case (P5 pentalobe screws), disconnect the battery, unscrew the four T8 hinge screws and the LVDS / camera flex cables. Bolt on the new assembly, reconnect the cables, screw the bottom case back on. 60–90 minutes for a careful first-time technician.

We offer in-shop MacBook assembly installation for Rs. 4,000 — strongly recommended given the antenna routing. Our technicians at Hafeez Center have installed dozens of these assemblies and can have your MacBook ready the same day. If you are in Lahore, you can walk in and wait; we also offer same-day delivery within Lahore for orders placed before 2 PM.
