Can you recover data from an A1708 with a dead logic board?
Yes — this is one area where the A1708 has a real advantage. Because the SSD is a removable blade module, we can extract it and mount it in a compatible machine to clone or recover your data, even if the board is completely dead.
My A1708 MacBook Pro won't charge from either USB-C port. What's the issue?
Dual port charging failure usually points to a failed USB-C controller or a burned charging circuit on the logic board — both repairable at component level. In rarer cases it's a faulty cable, which we'll test first during the free diagnosis.
How is the A1708 different from the A1706 in terms of repairability?
The A1708 has no Touch Bar (fewer failure points) and a removable SSD (easier data recovery). It's generally considered slightly easier to repair than the A1706, with lower parts costs for certain repairs like logic board work.
My screen has a thin vertical line running top to bottom. Is the whole display gone?
Not necessarily. Vertical lines on the A1708 can be caused by a damaged display cable rather than a failed panel. We diagnose the root cause first — if it's the cable, the repair cost is significantly lower than a full screen replacement.
How long does an A1708 battery replacement take at Yoda Service?
Battery replacement on the A1708 is typically a same-day repair. We source OEM-grade cells locally in Bali, so there's no wait for international shipping. Drop it off in the morning and collect it in the afternoon.
