What are some things i'm supposed to check before/after getting my macbook screen replaced by a third party store?
My macbook pro m1 16" screen broke, cat bit into it while i was asleep but currently its just showing flickering lines and its not that bad so im waiting on it. I checked in with an AASP and they told me i have to pay the equivalent of around 1300$ to get it repaired, and im frankly not doing that. I found a good third party option for around 450$ that claims it has an OEM screen (its used so it has a few wear and tear but i'll see for myself before they put it on) for my macbook but its not a very popular center and I dont trust it too much, but its my only option.
do you guys recommend i should just go for it once my screen goes completely black and unusuable? what are some things i should check before/after i get it installed? i just have some safety concerns cause 450$ is still not that cheap and im afraid of them messing up my macbook completely.
just fyi upgrading is not an option because i got this macbook as a gift just recently and i really want to fix this one.
