Abnormal behaviour of MacBook 16" of 2019 after repair by local vendor

Hi, I got display/screen changed of 2019 MacBook 16" through a local vendor. the laptop getting heat up too much however it was very smoothly running before handing over for display /screen change. Is it possible that the vendor might have changed or replaced some important component of MacBook like battery, fan exhaust etc. How can this be checked?

Fan and temperature sensor issues a easier spotted by Apple Diagnostics.

It also should be able to show battery issues.


In the past, some overheating issues reported here were due to techs failing to simply reconnect the power wires to the fans.

It is very possible

A diligent repair shop will provide printed documentation showing cost by parts and labor, and providing a list of parts.





Hi,

I'm not sure your local "vender" is Apple Authorized or not, though if battery was changed, you can see it at System Preferences > General > System report.


Did they also update MacOS?


A new version of MacOS works very hard doing indexing the first few days after install, and you should also connect your external backup drive and allow it to make a disk-based copy of your files with Time Machine.
