Cracked macbook pro screen repair

Accidentally stepped on my 13" macbook pro that was on the floor and it cracked the right side of my screen, how much would it cost to repair/replace?

Depends on whether you want new or used parts for replacement. I doubt repair is an option. Google Mac screen replacement to get some numbers.

Cracked macbook pro screen

I want to purchase a 2010 macbook pro glossy lcd led backlit display & screen & do the work myself But Im having a hard time finding the exact parts I need Does anybody know where I can purchase so I can save a little on the labor I did the same model for my friend & I had no problems but dont know where he purchased It was very easy to do took me 2 hours taking my time on everything.

Have you tried www.ifixt.com? There's another source, too, but I can't find it in my bookmarks - jwosten posted it a couple of weeks back. I'd give ifixit a try first - if they offer no joy, call back.

Cost of replacing a cracked macbook pro screen?

I sadly knocked my lappy on to a audio sampler and the whole screen wigged out like I'd sat on it or something. Lots of coloured lines and cracks in the middle...
So, how much am I looking at to replace this including labour? I know it's very pricey but what choice do I have.. From what I can see everything works fine elsewise.
Cheers,
Jonny

Crack in MacBook Pro Screen

Hello,
I am not entirely sure how it happened, but in the right corner of the glass of my 13" MacBook Pro screen there is a crack stretching down to the bottom of that portion of the screen. There is nothing wrong with any other part of the screen, just the crack in the glass.
I intend to get it fixed before I head back to school in the fall but I was wondering a couple things;
1. I have the Apple Care Extended Warranty, is there any chance repairs would be covered?
2. If repairs aren't covered, around how much should I expect to spend to get it fixed through Apple?
Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
Probably not what you want to hear, but I doubt it would be covered as it was likely caused by some kind of physical trauma. AC doesn't cover that. But there's always a chance, and only Apple can decide, so I'd certainly ask. Sorry, I don't know anything about cost. Good luck to you.

My MacBook pro screen is broken (awaiting part for repair) can I transfer keynotes pres onto iPad air? Without a home screen to navigate?

I am eagerly awaiting the correct parts to repair my MacBook pro screen (my husband dropped it). I have an iPad air but for some reason iCloud has only stored a very old copy of a keynotes presentation I need? Anyway to transfer with being able to see MacBook screen to guide me?
Cheers

You misunderstand the memory management scheme and misinterpret the display you're seeing.
To start with, free memory is wasted memory. Once some disk contents have been brought in, it is wasteful to discard that data just to make the RAM that it occupied "free." Inactive memory is memory that is not currently used, can be given to an application that needs it without doing any disk I/O (or used as a destination for reading disk content) but which currently holds disk data that might be useful in the future. I.e., it's file content of some sort.
To get a better idea of how Mac OS X manages RAM and how to interpret the Activity Monitory dispaly, see this tech note: Mac OS X: Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor.
Rosetta is indeed memory hungry, but it's an interim solution. With 2 GB of RAM installed, you can run a lot of applications with alacrity.
Lastly, your Safari, an Intel-native application, is currently using 2 GB. This is a known issue with Safari, though it seems to me that it has gotten better since 2.0.3 was released in 10.4.6. Still, it's a bit of a memory hog, to be sure. Now that Firefox, Camino and Seamonkey are all available in Universal (Intel native) forms, you have alternatives. Firefox seems a lot more parsimonious when it comes to RAM.

Small MacBook Pro screen scratch: Are they normal for a 2+ year old computer?

Hello,
I am writing about a topic that may have been mentioned around on these forums multiple times, scratches on the MacBook Pro screen display. In August 2010, I bought my 2010 MacBook Pro and since then I have been very careful with the screen by avoiding to touch it and clean it around every two to three months. However, today, I was cleaning my MacBook Pro screen and a way I examine the screen cleaness is by placing my iPhone 4S LED flash light illuminating the screen which shows the smudges and dirt that the screen has. Unfortunately, today I found 2 scratches on my MacBook Pro screen which run horizontally, these scratches are very small at around 1mm in lenght. They are not noticeable when the screen is on, which is why the scratch may have gone undetectable up until today when I used my iPhone's LED.
Off course I am a little dismayed because through all my carefullness when I clean the screen (I use a gentle up and down motion to clean the screen), still I was not able to prevent a screen scratch. When I close my MacBook Pro, I still use the plastic material that came on top of the keyboard to avoid any contact of the screen and the keys; I always shake that plastic material before placing it on top of the keyboard . So here's my question is it normal for a almost 2.5 year old computer to have two small scratches as the one I am speaking about.
I did find the screen bezel at Amazon and I may buy one as a spare and store it in a secure place and use it if there are more pronounced screen scratches.
Thanks in advance for any answers and suggestions to my predicament.

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro. I do not take any care to put anything in between the keyboard and screen... I just use it as it was made to be used. I don't take any particular care when cleaning the screen... often, it's just rubbing off a fingerprint with my sleeve or the tail of my shirt. No scratches whatsoever.
How your screen got scratched is not something anyone here can answer. We can speculate, at most, but that's not likely to be very useful. I'd recommend not putting anything between the screen and keyboard when closing the machine. That could very well be the cause of the problem, if something got stuck to that material when you closed it between keyboard and screen.
Thanks for the suggestion... I will apply these changes to my MacBook Pro's storing procedure and remove the plastic out of the equation. What bugs me is the fact that because the scratch is 1mm long and horizontal it tells me that a force dragged the material. The only thing I can recollect is when one time a family member accidentally passed close to my MacBook Pro with his headphone jack disconnected and hanging, unfortunately the metal part scraped over the screen but there were not scratches to detect. The impact area as I recollect is close to the scratch but the force of the impact and travel distance was not something as forceful to create such damage. Maybe the plastic is the culprit which makes me feel disappointed because I was using it to avoid problems rather than creating one. Anyways, I think I'll buy a spare bezel for my MacBook and in case there are more future and pronounced scratches, I will send it to repairs to an Apple Authorized Service Provider and give them the bezel.

2.2ghz macbook pro screen

Hi, my macbook pro screen cracked after 8 days. I bought a replacement screen brand new online. I have 2 questions, first my machine is the 2.2ghz macbook pro that was 1999.99 list price. Is the screen I purchased the correct one? its model number M9969LL/A and approximately how much labor time should I expect to pay for to re-install this?
Is it true that apple does not cover these? The machine did not drop or anything and there is no damage to it. There is just a black circle then a spider web of glass on the inside and then all the pixels have turned to colored lines.
Thanks and I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!

I have the Early 2011 2GHz Macbook Pro and I have the same problem too.
I switched out the logicboard a month ago and today the graphics just went distorted.
Any solutions? Now I'm thinking it is the Graphics Card.

Gray and white smudges in MacBook Pro Screen

About 1 week ago, I noticed 2 faint grey smudges in the middle of my MacBook Pro screen. I dismissed it at the time because I could barely see them unless I looked extremely close on a dark screen. I opened my computer up yesterday to see that the amount of spots had tripled from 2 to 6, are becoming more apparent, and all in the same area in the middle of the screen. They are still only able to be seen on a dark screen. The smudges are about the size of the cursor Also, when I tilt my head or tilt my laptop screen far back on a white screen, I can see that those spots turn slightly brighter white than the rest of the screen. While the grey smudges aren't connected, these white areas appear to connect to make a circle.
Another quick note, in December, I had a similar problem with my screen. The white spots were in the same circular shape and clear on any background, however, instead of grey smudges, I had spots that were black in the exact same circular shape. Apple labeled it as pixel anomalies and replaced my screen for me with no problems. Do you think it is pixel anomalies or something different? I bought the laptop in September 2011 and it is under every

Take it in for repairs while you are still under warranty.

Blue vertical thin line at macbook pro screen

How to remove blue vertical thin line at macbook pro screen?

It's not likely that YOU can... it's MORE likely that you've a glitch with either your screen or your GPU. You need to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them take a look at your machine. The diagnosis and any estimate for repair will be free.
Be prepared, though, if you don't have the extended AppleCare Protection Plan, to pay for any required repairs.

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.

Broken Macbook Pro Screen

So my Macbook Pro screen broke today. The laptop has Applecare and I was just wondering if Applecare covers any part of it? With my IBM Thinkpad T41, the screen broke and IBM paid for half of the $500 repair fee, does apple do anything like that? How much would it be to replace the screen?

If you must know how I broke two laptop screens, I take my laptop everywhere, I mean everywhere. I am a photographer (I use a Canon 30D if anyone is wondering), as for my Macbook Pro, the screen breaking was the result of me hiking up a rather steep hill, loosing my footing with my laptop in my laptop backpack. The backpack is well padded (Crumpler) but my camera with lens still attached and me falling, isn't too great for a laptop screen. The superdrive was also damaged and there is a nice dent in the bottom.
The T41 was in a Targus black laptop case, loading a bunch of stuff into my vehicle, left it on the black asphalt, never noticed that I didn't load it into the vehicle, backed up, and you can imagine what happened. Surprising, the casing of the laptop was still fine, didn't even look like it was ran over. Still worked too, I needed an external monitor though

Translucent impromptu possible "hacker" message interrupts current session, locks MacBook Pro screen and demands that I restart by holding down the power button of my LapTop to turn it off first. Any thought? Could this be another way to mess with us?

I was listening to a YouTube video on the history of X15 rocket airplanes. All of sudden, out of the blue a translucent back message drops top down, stops the video, locks up my MacBook Pro screen and demands that I restart my lapTop by first holding down my power switch, then turn the lapTop back on. This has never happened to me before. The message was in black & white, and in about 6 languages: English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese. Does any one recognize what this might be?
The Computer turned back on just fine as if nothing had Now I am freeking out that they could be reading my key strokes or something. Could they have used this tactic to install malicious software on my computer by first taking away my ability to do anything about it being that I am not a software engineer? Can any one think of anything simillar? I reported this as a bug to APPLE the regular way, then cleared my Safari cookies, then run software update which returned nothing new as in " your software is up to date at this time."
Can any one please help?

Hi stedman1,
Thank you so much. This seems to make sense to me now. I was freaking out a bit that some hacker could be messing with my MacBook Pro. I will be monitoring this issue from now on as it has never happened before.

My macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop or bridge to initialize. a window appears that says it has initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.

my macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop cs5 or bridge cs5 to initialize. a window appears that says it has initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.
there appear two error messages. the first one says that there has been a problem sincronizing because of a programme error. the second one appears after you clicked ok on the first window and says that photoshop couldn't be initialized because the icc profile is invalid.
does anyone know if i have to delete any system or photoshop preference? the illustrator is also having troubles. thanks

thanks! what finnally worked better was renaming the «settings» folder in te «color folder» in the library with ~before the name. now indesign is asking me for thw icc profiles but still works, so i asume i can reinstall color settings only for indesign and go on.

Cleaning MacBook Pro screens

Does anyone know if it is safe to use Kensington's Screen Guardian to clean a MacBook Pro screen? The product contains: Water, 2-Butoxyethanol and Ethanol. Also can this cleaner be used on an iMac and a iPod Touch screens. Thanks for your help.

Apple recommends against using any cleaner with alcohol or ammonia to clean any LCD screen. Those chemicals may damage the screen coating. The best way to clean a laptop screen is to use a microfiber wipe (such as those sold to clean eyeglasses) or a damp ( not wet) soft lint-free cloth. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3226
Butyl cellusolve, a component of Screen Guardian (according to their material safety data sheet), is neurotoxic among other toxicities, by the way, so I'd avoid it even if it weren't risky on LCDs.
Regards.
