Apple MacBook Pro A2442 2021 14" M1 Pro 8c/14c GPU 512GB SSD 16GB RAM FAULTY

⚠️ SOLD AS FAULTY / SPARES OR REPAIRS ⚠️

Please read the full listing carefully before bidding. This MacBook Pro has a known LCD fault as detailed below. Originally £1,899 from Apple UK at launch.

❌ The Fault (Honestly Described)

• LCD has dark patches along the bottom edge of the screen caused by a faulty backlight
• The rubber seal on the screen bezel is also damaged
• The screen still displays an image and the laptop is otherwise fully functional, but the display fault is permanent and will not improve

Ideal for someone with the skills to replace the display assembly, or as a donor machine for parts. The internals are healthy and everything else works as it should.
