Broke the glass covering my LCD screen.. help

So two days ago I stupidly put my incredibly heavy schoolbag on top of my macbook, and when I went to open it a few minutes later i noticed the entire glass screen covering my LCD screen is shattered (the glass is still there but there is a SIGNIFICANT number of cracks), and my trackpad is also shattered. Everything is still usable (I'm on the computer right now), but I know that sometime soon I'm going to need to get this fixed.
My first priority is the screen. I don't know how much it'll cost, but reading up on it apparently things like this aren't covered by applecare. I was wondering if it would cost more to go to the genius bar and have them do everything, or if i should buy a new but plastic screen like this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400095670538#ht2180wt1026) and have them put it in.
I've had the computer since May, and desperately need it to do all my work. I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas on the most cost efficient way of fixing this. (Or if you have any suggestions about the trackpad, feel free to help me there too)

Had you not attempted to fix it yourself, $269US for Out of Warranty replacement through Apple.
Since it has been opened and attempted to be repaired by someone other than Apple, the Out of Warranty repair option is no longer available. 
Find a competent local repair shop to replace the screen with an aftermarket screen (Apple does not sell parts) or purchase a new iPhone at full retail.

    MY daughter broke the glass on her IPod touch4. It is in the top left hand corner. Can this be replaced with new glass? She is heart broken... It still works fine..

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • I accidently broke the glass of my mini Ipad. Does the warranty cover it?

    I just bought my Ipad mini with the cover. I accidently broke the glass even if it had the cover on. I would like to know if the warranty cover it or if I have to pay something to fix it?

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.    
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

    Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
    I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
    Thanks in advance.

    yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
    sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.

  • HT4061 My phone has horizantal lines in the screen and i cant see nothing on it , also tried to reset by phone and computer,  ( nothing,)  I used to tap on it and it would work , not no more and now i broke the glass in front and cracked the back . what n

    My phone has lines from top to bottom  the screen has nothing , I tried to reset it many times also tried to reset with computer and nothing. I used to tap on it and sometimes it worked but not no more , I even broke the screen and cracked the back  so now what ??? this I-phone 4 is the worst phone i have had . I started with the first I-phone  tthen the second and third and they were all good , in fact my kids have them now . Since I got the I-phone 4 nothing but problems.and its only A little over A year since i got it

    I am having the same issue.  ** MY IPHONE IS TURNING OFF RANDOMLY ** and it's driving me crazy. 
    THE SYMPTOM... I am using my phone fine and then when I go to send a text, take a photo, etc, it just turns off. This started a few weeks ago after upgrading to the new IOS.  The 'symptoms' increased in frequency and my phone started turning off more frequently.   I took my Iphone to the apple store. They reset the phone to factory standards and the problem still exists.
    THE PROBLEM: The guy at the Genius Bar said he knows there is a known software issue, and this looks like it's affected my processor.  BUT this was only after I told him that I have been reading about a lot of other people having the same problem.
    THE SOLUTION:  Are you having the same issue? ... Reply to this post and let me know.   If a lot of people are having the same problem, Apple will probably just swap out the phones.  My phone is in mint condition except for the new 'problem' its having after I upgraded my software.

  • Particles of dust under the glass of multi-touch screen

    Dear Sir,
    I bought iPhone 3G in HK yesterday. After I opened the box and activated my iPhone, I have found 2 dark spots on the middle of screen. At first, I thought they are dead pixels. However, after taking a look carefully, I think they are particle of dust under the glass of touch screen. How come? from manufacturer process? because I just open it from the box.
    Is there any warranty from Apple cover this problem?
    What is the method you may help me?
    Change the new machine or fix it?
    Is there anything I can do by myself?

    No sir. There is nothing that you can do your best bet is to bring it back to your provider, or if there is a apple store over there bring it back to them. I know that apple will exchange your unit for this issue. It is from the manufacturer process it seems that they do not have a dust free environment. So just exchange it.

  • I have an iphone 5c, it is still under warranty and it broke the glass. I'm from Brazil but I bought it in the USA! I wonder if there is any cost to replace the glass, and if you have how much to change in any apple store in miami?

    I bought a iphone 5c in usa but live in Brazil. It is still under warranty and the glass broke. Here in Brazil nowhere exchange just the glass, because this model is different from what came to Brazil. I am very sad, and I wonder if Apple changes the glass at no charge, or if you have any additional cost?

    my friend is going to USA, if I say she can change at any store? so now they are exchanging just the glass for $ 79 U.S. dollars? I would not be possible to speak with some seller to know the right value? would love to know the value before it pays not know whether to send it 

  • I broke the glass on my iphone4, how much does it cost to repair?

    I dropped my phone and broke the front glass. I don't want to spend a lot of money and was wondering how much it costs to repair it at an apple store.

    $149. They replace the entire iPhone, they don't repair the glass.

  • Please please help My iPad fell down and i broke the glass..... what should i do?? can i repair it?? in India??

    oh god..... i dont know what to do anymore!!!!!! it was an accident i swear.!.. but can i fix it??? in India????

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. You will need to contact an authorized Apple service center in India. See this web page:
    https://locate.apple.com/in/en/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty will be void.
    Regards.
