Apple 2017 MacBook Pro Repair Services in Kenya

Models A1707, A1706 & A1708 (Intel, Butterfly Keyboard, Touch Bar & Non-Touch Bar)

The 2017 Apple MacBook Pro lineup included the 15-inch MacBook Pro (A1707), the 13-inch MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports (A1706), and the 13-inch MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt 3 ports (A1708). These models introduced Apple’s butterfly keyboard across all variants and featured Touch Bar functionality in the A1707 and A1706, while the A1708 retained the traditional function keys.

These Intel-based MacBooks remain widely used in Kenya, especially among professionals, designers, developers, architects, and business users who require powerful performance and reliable macOS environments. However, these devices are now several years old, and common issues include keyboard malfunctions, battery wear, display faults, port failures, and logic board problems.

PixelPro Devices offers expert repair services for all 2017 MacBook Pro models with butterfly keyboards through our Nairobi and Mombasa service centers, serving Nairobi and its surrounding suburbs, as well as the Coast region.

Understanding the 2017 Butterfly Keyboard MacBook Pros

The 2017 MacBook Pro models were part of Apple’s Intel-based lineup and introduced Touch Bar technology on select models. The butterfly keyboard, while thin and responsive, became known for reliability challenges, particularly in dusty or humid environments.

Additionally, Intel processors generate more heat than Apple Silicon models, which can accelerate component wear and contribute to logic board or thermal issues. At PixelPro Devices, our technicians are Apple macOS certified, trained to diagnose and repair Intel MacBook Pro systems safely and accurately.

Common Repair Services for 2017 MacBook Pro Models

Butterfly Keyboard and Touch Bar / Trackpad Repairs

Keyboard failure is a well-known issue on these models. Symptoms include unresponsive keys, repeating characters, sticky keys, or complete keyboard failure. The Touch Bar can also malfunction, displaying unresponsiveness or incorrect functions. Trackpad issues, including erratic clicking or cursor movement, are also common.

PixelPro Devices provides professional keyboard, Touch Bar, and trackpad repair or replacement services, restoring reliable typing and navigation while preserving Apple’s original feel.

Battery Replacement and Power Issues

Battery degradation is expected after several years of use. Common symptoms include rapid battery drain, unexpected shutdowns, overheating while charging, or battery warnings in macOS.

We provide professional battery replacement services designed for Intel MacBooks, restoring safe and dependable power performance.

Retina Display and Screen Repair

The Retina displays on the 2017 MacBook Pro models are sharp and color-accurate, but they can be damaged or fail over time. Issues include cracked screens, flickering, dead pixels, uneven brightness, or complete display failure.

PixelPro Devices’ display repair services restore visual clarity, color accuracy, and brightness consistency for professional use.

Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C Port Repairs

The A1707 and A1706 feature four Thunderbolt 3 ports, while the A1708 includes two ports. Ports can wear out from frequent use or physical damage, resulting in charging failures, unstable connections, or external device detection issues.

We provide professional diagnostics and repairs for Thunderbolt and USB-C ports to ensure reliable connectivity and charging.

Logic Board Diagnostics and Repair

Intel MacBooks with butterfly keyboards are prone to logic board issues caused by heat stress, component aging, or accidental damage. Symptoms may include random restarts, overheating, failure to power on, kernel panics, or display issues.

PixelPro Devices performs advanced diagnostics and component-level repairs to restore system stability and reliability.

Liquid Damage Inspection and Restoration

Liquid spills are a common cause of MacBook failure. Water, coffee, or other liquids can cause corrosion and short circuits if not addressed promptly.

Our liquid damage service includes internal inspection, cleaning, and selective component repair to improve recovery success and prevent further damage.

Cooling System and Thermal Optimization

Intel MacBooks generate significant heat under load. Dust accumulation, degraded thermal paste, or malfunctioning fans can lead to overheating, loud fan noise, or throttled performance.

PixelPro Devices provides internal cleaning, fan servicing, and thermal optimization to maintain safe temperatures and consistent performance.

Camera, Speaker, and Microphone Repairs

Problems with the FaceTime camera, speakers, or microphones can disrupt video calls, online meetings, and content creation. We diagnose and repair these components to restore clear visuals and dependable audio quality.
