Can I replace my screen affordably?

Hey, I was wondering if you could switch screens with a new macbook pro 2011 from the regular resolution glossy display to a hi-resolution glossy display?  I would obviously expect to pay a fee, but I was wondering if an apple store would do it for me and if it would be affordable.

Only way Apple replaces a screen is when it fails under warranty. And the replacement part is identical to the original. As for prices, the screen represents about a third of the price of the portable, or more.
Best bet would be selling your Mac and buying a new one. Heard of eBay?

    HOW CAN I REPLACE MY SCREEN IF ITS CRACKED

    Apple does this by replacing the iPhone for a cost of $149. You get a perfect iPhone 4 exactly like yours, same color, same GB, everything same. Or you can try a repair place with no garantees from Apple.

  • Can I replace the screen myself with a kit on my iPod touch?

    Can I replace the screen myself with a kit on my iPod touch?   Stores are charging in excess of 100 dollars to fix them.

    Note, though, that if you do the repair yourself or have any unauthorized shop do it, you will void any further support from Apple, including having them replace the iPod for their out-of-warranty replacement fee.
    Regards.

    I have cracked screen on my I-phone 5 but phone is working. Can you replace the screen?

    You need to take it in to Apple and ask them.  Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty, so you may have to pay for the replacement.
    If you have AppleCare+ on the iPhone, you are entitled to two accidental damage claims, for a fee.

    Who can say?  How competent are you with electronic devices?  You might be better off taking it to an Apple Store and paying for an out of warranty replacement. At least you'll know you are not using generic components that have not been approved by Apple.

  • Can i replace my screen with an old screen?

    my screen broke few months a go. i took it to the store but they said the guaranty wont cover and it will cost me more to fix than to but a new one.(even tho i don't know how it happen as i have never drop it).
    is there an alternative to this???
    some one told me if i get a cheep one from ebay i could change that screen to my mac book. is this true? if yes how do i know what screen is compatible?

    The backup is an issue, but you can always mail your work to your self… but the mail server has to be configured the way that mails are not deleted.
    The more elegant way is "MobileMe", you can use it as a storage and save your work there.
    Keep in mind, the iPad is limited to what you can do with the Apps, so check first if there are some Apps for the work you need to do…
    enjoy your magic machine
