Review: As expected - As expected Review: Not hardware exact to original but would probably - This was ordered to repair the common apple laptop video failure. It proved to be difficult to use and ultimately did not work for what I had hoped to be able to get a good repair. Specifically the wiring and the item did not appear the same as advertised or as it should have looked so that it could be soldered into a display as a repair. I’m taking some stars off mainly because if it’s manufactured not identified internally to the original piece they should just put that in the ad. I agree any negative info will result in fewer sales but as a consumer in my case I just couldn’t use the part. ## Features - Left and Right Backlight cables replacement for MacBook Pro Retina (2016-2019) included - The two backlight flex cable are microsoldered to the display backlight and connect to the display daughter board - Compatible with MacBook Pro 13" Retina A1706, A1708, and A1989 Late 2016 to 2019 - Compatible with MacBook Pro 15" Retina A1707 and A1990 Late 2016 to 2019 - Identifying Numbers : 821-01270-01, 821-00602-03, 821-00517-05, 821-00516-03 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09V13QFDD | | Best Sellers Rank | #110,343 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #116 in Laptop & Netbook Computer Replacement Screens | | Brand | willhom | | Brand Name | willhom | | Cable Type | Thunderbolt or USB-C | | Cable type | Thunderbolt or USB-C | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Compatible Phone Models | MacBook Pro 13 inch | | Compatible devices | Laptop | | Compatible phone models | MacBook Pro 13 inch | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Connector Type | Display Backlight Cable | | Connector type | Display Backlight Cable | | Customer Package Type | protected shipping box | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 24 Reviews | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | willhom | | Maximum Voltage | 5 Volts (DC) | | Model | 821-01270-01 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 30 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Braided | | Part Number | 821-01270-01 | | Recommended Uses For Product | replacement of backlight cables in specified MacBook Pro models | | Special features | Braided | | Specification Met | FCC | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** willhom - **Cable type:** Thunderbolt or USB-C - **Compatible devices:** Laptop - **Connector type:** Display Backlight Cable - **Special features:** Braided ## Images ![Replacement Left and Right LCD Display Backlight Cables for MacBook Pro Retina 13" A1706, A1708, A1989 and 15" A1707 and A1990 (2016-2019) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Xg56oaVXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As expected *by N***E on 6 March 2026* As expected ### ⭐⭐ Not hardware exact to original but would probably *by T***D on 22 February 2026* This was ordered to repair the common apple laptop video failure.
