This is call Kernel Panic. If your unit is newer than 2013 you can power on the unit and press "D" and run the test it report anything.

Yes.

The recall is for 2015 model. Not 2017.

Good info, what model exactly?

You meant the TouchBar is not responding to touch?
If you have active AppleCare you should send it back to Apple.

You can try reset SMC and PRAM and see it recover.

Uncommon, just send back to service centre and see what they say.

What is the issue?

Send to check, display issue is best capture by photo or video, not screenshot.

Apple only offer free replacement for 2016 13-inch on flex gate issue. Any other model they no offer and subject to case-to-case. For country that have official Apple store you might have better chance. But if your unit have cosmetic defect like dent they can easily refuse it and says it’s physically caused.

While this topic is mainly for Mac. I will answer you in general.

1. they will likely need to run test to verify the new battery are working properly. without the need of you sharing your passcode or risk on leaking your personal detail. standard SOP from Apple. Unlike MacOS we can boot via external drive and bypass user data.
2. reset means everything gone.
3. use cloud backup. iCloud for example.
4. this is subjective, do your own background check on them. battery replacement is not that complicated, some service provider should able to do it on the spot in front of you, that you be sure they won't touch your personal data. but there is still risk if they are not professional, opening the device will alway have risk.

Yes. Display is always not cheap. Want all the best color, retina and slim. It come in cost. Let's put it other way around, when you buy the Mac cost 5-6k (at lease), the display make up huge part of the Mac.

You can sell it off for parts. We are buying.

For a >RM10k device it is no brainer to skip the ACPP.
Yes you can, laptop are meant to travel.

Woofer cracked. Very normal. You will need to replace the speaker assembly.

Any click sound and red LED flashes when you turn on the main power? Not the power button but the plug to your power outlet.

possible fault:
Logicboard board, backplane board.

unlikely but can try:
PRAM battery. PSU.

For top, case assembly. Yes. But 2015 model are long expired from official warranty. And are soon to be obsolete. We do not see any reason to go back to Apple. Do check if your unit eligible for battery recall: https://support.apple.com/15-inch-macbook-pro-battery-recall


Common issue on these model. Try to keep the Mac clean and cool.

Cleaning should be done as preventive measure. You should be watching the temperature closely. Once the LCD become defective you have to replace it.

iStat, MacFansControl, TempMonitor... there are many.
