MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018) repair questions answered

The MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018) dates to 2018 as model A1990 and Apple publishes an official service manual for it, which is the document referenced on this page. We list 159 service parts for this model, and every part we fit is a genuine Apple part. Our work is covered for one year on brand new parts and 180 days on pre-owned parts and board-level repairs. We are in Tampa, walk-ins are welcome with no appointment, and you can also book a mail-in repair from anywhere in the country.

What are the model numbers for the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018)?

The MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018) dates to 2018 and carries model number A1990, with the internal identifier MacBookPro15,1, MacBookPro15,3. You can confirm yours from the Apple menu, About This Mac, or by reading the tiny model number printed on the base. Quoting that number when ordering parts is the only reliable way to avoid a part that looks right but does not fit, since Apple ships several variants that look identical.

Can the storage or memory in a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018) be upgraded?

The MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018) carries a T2 security chip, which encrypts the soldered storage to the machine. That means a board swap erases your files permanently, so we recover data or repair the board itself rather than replacing it whenever the files matter.

What are the most common repairs on the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018)?

The jobs we see most on the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018) are battery replacement, touch bar replacement, keyboard replacement (butterfly), display assembly replacement. Apple rates this model's service difficulty as advanced, and we diagnose every machine on a bench supply and under a microscope before quoting, so you get a fixed price for the actual fault rather than a guess. Diagnosis is free.

Do you use genuine parts and what warranty comes with a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018) repair?

Every part we fit is a genuine Apple part, which keeps features like True Tone and the factory calibration working correctly. Brand new parts carry a one-year warranty, and pre-owned parts and board-level repairs carry 180 days. We are in Tampa, walk-ins are welcome with no appointment, and we repair machines mailed in from anywhere in the country.

If your MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2018) will not power on or was hit by liquid, it needs a board-level diagnosis rather than a parts swap. Call us on (813) 444-5595 and we will tell you what we are seeing before any work starts.
