BROKEN MACBOOK SCREEN

Hi guys, i was just wondering if anyone could help me, today i made the mistake of leaving my macbook half on my desk and half off, i went downstairs as someone was at my door, i got off my bed i knocked my macbook off the desk and I go to pick it up to find that the screen has a massive crack in it and i cant see anything on it. Its still under warranty and i was just wondering if this has happend to anyone else, and how did you go about sorting it out? Do apple charge you for fixing the screen?
Any help will be greatful
Cheers
Lewis

  • Help with external display/broken macbook screen

    I have an old MacBook that has a screen which broke a while ago, since then I have been using it hooked up to an external display through the mini-dv port.
    However yesterday the system froze and I had to do a hard reboot. When it came back on, the external display was no longer set up properly. Being that the screen is broken as well, I can't figured out how to fix this.
    How do I force my macbook to use the external display at startup?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem too, but when I try, nothing shows up on my external. I cant see my screen at all, and the laptop just keeps humming as if its still starting up. I just had the hard drive replaced a couple weeks before my screen "magically" shattered.. any advice?

  • Hdmi display setting on tv with a broken macbook screen.

    Okay guys, so the screen broke on my macbook pro the other day, it went completely black. I am a broke college student and have to save up to pay for it to be fixed, so in the meantime, I bought an hdmi adapter to connect my computer to my tv so I can still do my homework and use my computer. The problem is like many others, I can only see my background on the tv and nothing else. I've perused different discussions and understand that I need to select the appropriate display settings to make everything appear on the tv, but I can't do that because I can't see anything on my computer screen. What do I do??? I have two online classes that have special downloaded programs that I won't be allowed to download on a public computer in order to do my class work. Eerk... Very frustrated. I have a Mac OS X but not sure which specific operating system I am running, I bought the computer new in 2008.

    Hi there Rcwaldrup,
    If you have an external mouse and keyboard, you may have better results by trying closed clamshell mode. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • How much does apple charge to fix a broken macbook pro screen?

    How much does apple charge to fix a broken macbook pro screen?

    No one here would know for sure...my guess? Somewhere around US $700. You'll get it done cheaper at a third-party repair shop.

  • How much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

    how much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

    Few thoughts:
    There is a minuscule possibility that you can successfully convince the Genius that the damage was not due to abuse or mishandling. And if it is still under warranty, a new free screen will be yours. Don't get your hopes up too high, though...
    If a Retina, the cost will be so high that maybe selling it for parts and getting a new one might be a better idea.
    Same may apply if it is very old. Not cause the screen costs arm+leg, but because you will be sinking lots of cash onto a sinking ship.
    If handy with tools, can explore PowerBookMedic.com or IFixIt.com for parts prices and howto.

  • Macbook to Macbook screen

    Hey someone stepped on my old macbook and the screen cracked. I bought a new one and I was wondering if you could connect the broken screen to the new macbook so that I could erase it's hard drive. Let me know if that's possible if all. Thanks guys.

    Assuming the broken MacBook can actually run probably the simplest method is to start the broken computer in FW Target Disk Mode - start it while holding the T key. Then connect the old and new computer with a firewire cable. The broken Mac's hard drive should appear on the new computer's desktop. Now you can use Disk Utility to format the drive.

  • Extract data off a broken MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2012?

    Hi,,,
    I had a problem with my MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2012  - display and something ending with logic being broken = black screen. Since is was over £1000 to fix it, i decided to buy a new Macbook pro with Retina Display 16gb ram, 512gb.
    Now, what is the best way to retrieve the data out off the old macbook pro SSD? If I open the computer and take it off, how do i connect it to my new mac? is there a cable to connect to the SSD, as i searched and can't find. Really need to transfer all my files that is inside the old mac to the new one.
    Thank you in advance for the help

    Remove the SSD from the old MBP and put it in an external USB enclosure. Connect to your new MBP and transfer your files. You can find a good enclosure at OWC.

  • I have a mac book air. I felt down and I have broken the screen: several white lines on the screen. Do you know if I can only change the screen? Is it expensive?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

  • My grandson has a iPod touch 4th and has broken the screen, does any body know how much apple charge for replacement and can you wait for it to be done or does it get sent away.

    My grandson has broken his screen on his iPod 4th touch. Does anybody know how much apple charge to replace and do they do it while you wait

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for  64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs unless you have AppleCare+ extended warranty. Then it would be $29. They do not fix yours.

  • My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode after using my "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter." How can I fix this?

    My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode (I don't know the correct term) after using my Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - meaning the screen fonts and windows are larger than usual. How can I fix this? I've changed the display settings to modify it a little, but it still doesn't look right. I reinserted the adapter numerous times and restarted my computer, it still hasn't worked. Help!

  • Help--why has MacBook screen gone dark and how do I get it back?

    I have a  MacBook (model 4,1  running OS 6.8).  I use the MacBook as my desktop computer in conjunction with a separate desktop monitor. Today, when I unplugged a USB hub from one of the ports (after carefully ejecting anything on the desktop that needed to be ejected before unplugging), the screen on the MacBook--not the separate monitor--suddenly went dark.  I thought it had gone to sleep or into screensaver mode, but noticed that the white light on the MacBook also wasn't showing. 
    The separate monitor display (on which I'm typing this message) seems fine.  I checked DIsplays/Arrangement in System Preferences, but both displays were detected in their usual arrangement, though I did notice that the working display has a white bar across the top but the MacBook display doesn't have one.  I clicked "Detect Displays," but that didn't change anything.
    I then did a restart, and things seemed to go as usual:  the shutdown went okay and on restart, the white light went on on the MacBook and the monitor screen lit up normally.  However, the MacBook's screen is still dark and the white light is off.
    Can anyone tell me why this happened and how to get my MacBook screen back?  I don't know whether unplugging the hub caused the problem or whether it was just a coincidence that something that runs the MacBook display happened to fail right then.  Would appreciate any help out there very much--thanks!
    PS: Just tried shutting down and powering on again with the separate monitor unplugged, but the MacBook screen still stays black and the white light shuts off as soon as the desktop loads.  When I plugged the separate monitor back in, it worked fine.  So the problem doesn't seem to be a conflict with the separate monitor (which I've used for years).

    Update:  I went away for an hour, and when I came back I saw that the white light had gone on as usual when the MacBook went to sleep.  When I touched the keyboard, both displays went on; however, the MacBook display went dark immediately and the white light is still out.

  • How can I mirror my macbook screen to the Apple TV through wifi?

    I cannot seem to be able to mirror my macbook screen via wifi to the Apple TV. It only works with my iPad 2. Is there a solution now or in the future?

    You can't.  And the lag/delay would be so bad that it could be large.  But I'd take your question to the AppleTV forum to see if someone has a solution.  But the bigger question is, why????  Just mirror the MacBook directly to the TV?

  • When in Final Cut My MacBook Screen goes black

    I was working on Final Cut on my Macbook Pro and everything was running smoothly until I used the "help" tab to find out how to freeze frame. I moused over to the drop down window to hit the command and I either clicked on it or something around it, then my screen went black. I have a dual screen and nothing happened to my external monitor. Now the weird thing is when I use any other program my Macbook screen comes back to normal. It even comes back to normal when a Final Cut prompt windows come up on the screen but as soon as I answer the prompt the screen goes back to black. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hit command+F12 and see what happens.
    It sounds like you've enabled Desktop Cinema Preview.

  • I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

    I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

    No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.
