Replace or repair? We tell you honestly.
A cracked or lined panel needs a new display. But a black screen on a Mac that is still running, a dim backlight or the flicker you see when the lid opens is often a display cable or backlight-circuit fault — and that can cost a fraction of a new screen.
That is why every screen job starts with the R499 Apple diagnostic. You get a written quote showing exactly what is faulty before you spend anything more — and the diagnostic is waived when you go ahead.
What we fix
Screen problems we solve
Not every screen problem needs a new screen. We find the exact cause first.
Cracked screen replacement
Full display-assembly replacement for cracked or shattered panels.
Lines, spots & dead pixels
Panel faults after pressure or a drop.
Backlight & dim display
Backlight-circuit, LED-driver and fuse repair — often cheaper than a new screen.
Flex cable / “stage light”
Display cable repair for the flicker that appears when you open the lid.
Hinge & lid damage
Bent lids, loose hinges and damaged housings.
Liquid on the display
Spills that reach the screen usually reach the board — we check both.
No image at all
Logic-board graphics or display-connector faults diagnosed properly.
iMac display & glass
iMac 21.5″, 24″ and 27″ panels and glass.
Inverter & LED-driver repair

Service area
MacBook screen repair for Johannesburg and surrounding suburbs
From Johannesburg CBD, Braamfontein and Auckland Park the drive to Jet Park is roughly 20 to 30 minutes via the N12 or N3. Northern-suburb customers from Sandton, Rosebank and Randburg reach us via the R24, and Soweto and the south via the N12.
One workshop serves the whole city, so every device is repaired by the same team with the same equipment — microscopes, hot-air and BGA stations, ultrasonic cleaning for liquid damage and professional data-recovery tools.
Johannesburg is a big city, so the form asks for your suburb. It helps us suggest the best route and time to visit, and for business customers it keeps job cards and invoices organised by branch or office.

Questions & answers
MacBook screen questions from Johannesburg
Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most — on the phone, on WhatsApp and through voice search.
Where can I get my computer repaired in Johannesburg?
At Genious Services, Unit 28, 587 Jones Road, Jet Park — about 20 to 30 minutes from Johannesburg CBD via the N12. Walk in Monday to Friday 8:00–17:00 or Saturday 9:00–16:00.
Can you repair my device on the same day?
Very often, yes. Book a day or two before your visit — by phone, email or the repair form — and we reserve a same-day slot and have the part ready for you. Walk-ins are always welcome too, but then same-day turnaround depends on how busy the workshop is that day. Either way, we tell you honestly when you can expect your device back.
Do you repair student laptops from Wits and UJ?
Yes. Screens from R1,700, batteries from R900 and SSD upgrades from R1,200, usually same day when booked ahead.
Where can I get a MacBook screen replaced near Johannesburg?
At Genious Services, Unit 28, 587 Jones Road, Jet Park — about 20–30 minutes from Johannesburg. Most MacBook Air and 13″ Pro screens are replaced the same day when booked ahead and the part is in stock.
How much does a MacBook screen replacement cost?
MacBook Air (M1–M4) R5,000–R13,000; MacBook Pro 13″ R5,500–R9,000; MacBook Pro 14″ R8,000–R18,000; MacBook Pro 16″ R10,000–R20,000; iMac 24″ R4,500–R10,000 and iMac 27″ R6,000–R12,000.
How much is an Apple diagnostic?
R499, waived when you go ahead with the screen repair. You receive a written quote first.
Can a MacBook screen be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. Flickering, a dim backlight or a “stage light” effect is often a display flex cable or backlight-circuit fault that we can repair for less than a full screen. Cracked panels need replacement.
Where can I repair a liquid-damaged MacBook screen?
At our Jet Park workshop. Liquid often reaches the logic board too, so we check the whole Mac. Keep it switched off until you bring it in.
Will my data be safe during a screen replacement?
Yes. A screen replacement does not touch your storage. Back up beforehand if you can.
