MacBook Pro 2017 Touch Bar Cut off weird problem

@oldturkey03 - Replacing the TouchBar it’s self while possible is not easy. Often you do make some dig marks where you pry on the panel to get it unstuck. And you don’t want to distort the metal as that could just leave you back to a damaged panel. Which is why I just replace the uppercase.

Besides, the butterfly keys are often worn as well.

@danj I like to save my money since I never seem to have enough of that. I'll work careful and take my time to save USD$200 any day. Any repair is with its inherent risk, so work smart and work careful and it creates a whole lot less waste.

@oldturkey03 - Both of us have the deeper skills, so it’s not such a big deal. Sometimes you need to look through the lens of the someone who is not doing repairs for a living and may not have all of the needed tools.

In this case we also have a second issue the fragile 🦋 Butterfly keys!

So between the two it’s just easier to replace the upper case assembly transferring the logic bd, battery and the other parts over.

@danj not sure about you but my skills are just as average as the next person. I spend my money wisely and purchase the least number of parts. It may take me a little longer but If I can pay myself an extra $200 I don't mind. I do not see that there are issues on this specific case with the keys. It is totally up to the individual on how to proceed. Not my call, just providing different options.
