MacBook Pro 15″ (A1707) specifications

The 2016-2017 release MacBook Pro 15″ (A1707) introduced a new Apple design that requires careful maintenance. Alongside its slim body, it has distinctive components that need specialist repair knowledge:

• Security and management chip: This model integrates the Apple T1 controller, which is directly responsible for the operation of the Touch ID fingerprint reader and the Touch Bar touchscreen, as well as SMC (System Management Controller) functions.

• Processor and power: The computer uses powerful 6th or 7th generation Intel Core i7 processors (2.6–3.1 GHz) that need efficient cooling.

• Display: 15.4-inch diagonal Retina (2880×1800 px) display featuring a wide P3 color gamut.

• Keyboard: The A1707 uses first and second generation Butterfly keyboards, which are particularly sensitive to dust and small debris.

• Connections and memory: Four universal Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports replace the older connectors. The model has a fast SSD soldered directly to the motherboard and up to 16 GB of LPDDR3 RAM.

Battery replacement (A1707): when is it needed?

The MacBook Pro 15″ (A1707) model is factory-equipped with a powerful 76.0 Wh lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery. Although it is designed for intensive work, after several years of use, signs of wear naturally appear. The battery in this model is strongly glued to the top case, thus its removal requires special solvents and professional skills.

Signs your computer needs a new battery

• Reduced capacity: After about 1,000 full charge cycles, the battery loses more than 20% of its initial capacity. A warning “Service Recommended” often appears in system settings.

• Battery swelling: Ageing, overheating or internal cell faults can cause dangerous swelling. Pressure from the battery can lift the bottom cover, make the Trackpad hard to press or even deform the aluminium chassis.

• Unexpected shutdowns and charging problems: The computer may shut down with 20-30% charge remaining or stop responding to the charger. Possible causes include worn components, SMC controller errors or a damaged USB-C bus.

Fixas technicians will safely remove the old battery and install a new, top-quality, tested ≥ 6670 mAh (11.4 V, 6-cell Li-Po) battery module within 1-2 hours. This will restore the original mobility of the device and ensure comprehensive electrical safety.

Cooling system maintenance for longer computer life

Intel Core i7 processors generate a lot of heat during intensive work (video editing, graphic tasks). To prevent computer overheating and so-called Thermal Throttling (slowing down the system to reduce temperature), we recommend conducting cooling system maintenance at least once a year.

Dust collects on the cooling radiators and fans during daily use. Thermal paste also dries out and becomes less effective at conducting heat. Our workshop thoroughly cleans the cooling components and replaces the old paste with a high-quality alternative. This affordable service protects your A1707 processor and motherboard from overheating damage.
