Dropped MacBook Pro retina display and screen won't work

I accidental just dropped my MacBook Pro with retina display on its left side from about 2 feet. There doesn't appear to be any external damage except for the screen which is just white with some black on the left side. I can change the brightness and everything else appears to work. Any ideas on how to fix it or how much it would cost to repair. Thanks

Oh dear
Call your local Apple Store to get a quote for a repair.
And check your home insurance to see if it's covered (it might be if you have accidental damage cover and you dropped it at home).
If you're not ready or able to afford a repair or replacement, you might be able to keep using your MBP if you connect it to an external display.
I don't know how important portability is for you, but if you would normally only use your MBP in one or two specific places (eg home and work), you could set up one external display in each location.
Good luck!

  • Macbook pro retina display broken screen?

    My one week old Macbook pro retina display 13 inch slipped from the bed earlier and I'm not sure what happened but I think the screen broke from the inside? -look at the pictures attached-
    I bought it from Oman, in the middle east. And I'm moving to Rochester, New York in two weeks so I've decided to fix it there.
    Would this be covered under warranty or will I have to pay? And how much would it cost to get this fixed? 

    Accidental damage is not covered. Maybe your home owner / renters insurance would cover it?
    You can speculate more about cost here:

  • MacBook Pro Retina Display and USB SuperDrive

    Just wanted to let everyone know I had to update Mac OSX to be able to use the superdrive on the new macbook pro retina display.  Before that it would show me what was on the disk but I couldn't access it.  Even after I updated it I had to browse through finder to find the drive to be able to run what was on the disk, as it didn't pop up automatically.  Just wanted to give people a heads up so if anyone else has this issue.

    The superdrive not showing on the desktop may just be a setting in Finder. If it is listed in the Finder window then it is a setting in Finder to show, or not to show, DVD drives on the desktop.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display and Flash Player major issues

    Hello,
    Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
    I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
    1. My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
    On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:
    http://i.imgur.com/UXHd4.png
    (Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
    2. It is no longer possible to click on anything in Flash Player Dialogs, such as:
    * Flash Player Settings
    * Webcam or microphone allow/deny dialog
    * All other dialogs (peer-to-peer access, etc)
    This issue makes it impossible to use video chat applications on Macbook Pro Retina's because users can't click allow/deny when requested for audio/video access.
    I have submitted reports about this to Adobe BugBase here:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3224151
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3224147
    Please fix these issues.
    Andrey

    @nvhdab - If you haven't already, can you please add a bug on your issue over at bugbase.adobe.com  If it's the same as 3224151 then it sounds like it's going to be fixed soon.  I'm trying to find out exactly when, but it might be in the 11.7 release now (4/2/2013 - Flash Player 11.7.700.170 Beta)
    @scottclayton - I'm going to ask the team to revisit the click issue.  I don't have a retina display so I can't confirm the issue.  Thank you though for putting up the workaround.

  • I have a Macbook Pro Retina Display and it keeps flickering.  Very annoying.  Almost seems like something else is trying to open.

    My macbook has suddenly started flickering.  I hadn't updated any software.  I did go and update to OS X but that didn't help.  Is anyone else having the same problem?

  • Macbook Pro retina display gray screen on start up

    New Macbook pro 1 week old gets a grey screen on startup
    Tried to do a safeboot but it stops after 5 lines.
    any ideas???

    You have a Retina model MBP. It did not come with installer discs. You would use Internet Recovery:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Dead pixels on Macbook Pro Retina Display and keyboard scratches.

    Since the purchase of my Macbook Pro with Retina Displey 15" early February 2013 it has gained 5 dead pixels on the screen. If I take it to the Apple Store are they going to tell me it's my own fault and not help?
    I also found a scratch on the <H> key on the keyboard, which has removed a little bit of the black coating, allowing the backlight to shine through. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or if apple are able to help? I have already tried writing over it in black sharpie pen, but it doesn't help.

    Apple has some system they go by to determine how many dead pixels are 'acceptable' on a display - it's not your fault.
    You may be able to get a replacement key from -> https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/. Since Apple will probably say it was caused by user damage, you'll have to pony up the $5 for the key.

  • Both my MacBook Pro Retina Display and new iMac will only format an SD as FAT16 using Disk Utility.  How do I format in FAT32

    I have a new iMac and MacBook Pro with Retina Display running 10.8.2

    Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

  • Macbook pro retina display SECOND SCREEN pixel failure, out of warranty will apple fix it?

    I bought my macbook pro when it first came out, had to have a screen replaced due to pixel failure 7 months later. Now again im having one fail, then another, and now a cluster has failed. My mac is out of warranty but IM ******, I bought a $2700 Laptop to have to change the screen once a year?! this is BS

    Maybe you should of bought the Applecare extended warranty. You had all of the first year to buy that.
    Now all you can do is go to an Apple store and Ask if it will be changed free of charge and if not you will have to pay for it.

  • Migrated from MBP with moutain lion to new macbook pro retina display and now I have lion os

    After migrating from a time machine backup and logging in (had problems with that too and had to restart user password) the os version is 10.7.4 when it should be 10.8.2
    Went to the app store and I have to pay again to get the upgrade.. Do i have to pay again???
    Thanks!

    Hi again, Juan.
    OK this is just a guess but I believe that when you set up your rMBP from your old MBP you used TM restore not Migration Assistant. What happened is that you installed your old system OS10.7.4 and all files.
    Using Migration Assistant (MA) would not have overwritten your OS.
    See this taken from Finder Help....
    Recover your entire system
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover your system’s contents if your system or startup disk is damaged.
    Important: Only use your Time Machine backup to restore your system to the computer that is the source of the backup. If you want to use your backup to transfer your information to a new computer, use Migration Assistant. 
    Transfer your info from a computer or disk
    If you’re restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, repair or replace the disk before following these instructions.
    Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on. If your backup disk is on a network, make sure your computer is on the same network.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    Select “Restore from a Time Machine Backup,” and then click Continue.
    Depending on your type of backup disk, do one of the following:
    If you use an external disk, select it and click Continue.
    If you use a Time Capsule, choose your AirPort network from the AirPort menu on the right side of the menu bar, and then select your Time Capsule and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
    If you use a network disk, select it and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
    If necessary, enter the name and password you use to connect to your backup disk, and then click Connect.
    Select the date and time of the backup you want to restore, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
    After you restore your system from a Time Machine backup, Time Machine may perform a full backup at the next scheduled backup time. This is normal. Time Machine resumes incremental backups after the full backup is completed.
    I suggest you make an appoint at the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store and they will help you restore your computer. Make sure you take in your old MBP and your Time Machine back up disk as well.
    Do not use instructions above for a TM restore now, because it will only reinstall Lion 10.7.4 not ML 10.8.X.
    You need to reinstall ML first and then I think all of your problems will go away.
    So did I guess right? Did you launch TM and restore or did you launch Migration Assistant to move files?
    Hope this helps, if you cannot get to the Apple Store, I can try to walk you through reinstalling ML, but first we need to download a copy of ML.

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Pro keeps freezing and Chrome won't work.

    Starting two days ago my Macbook has started freezing. It was working fine then an hour later it started freezing. It doesn't seem to matter what the program is, Chrome, Microsoft Word, Finder, Notes, everything; except for activity monitor.I have had troubles with my HD as my main Tb hard drive failed probably a month ago; when ever I started up the computer it shows the grey file with a blinking question mark. Never was able to resolve that. Now I am on the stock HD, 500 Gb, and have used about 51 Gb of it; with no huge programs such as ableton, PS, etc. on this HD. I have upgraded my ram to 16 Gb, but I am currently running 1.5 gb wired, 1.3 gb active, and 300 Mb inactive; totalling to 3.1 gb used and 12.9 free. I also have 500mb pages in and 0mb pages out. This maybe the reason, however I have no applications open but when looking at the processes in activity monitor it doesn't show anything abnormal. I am currently using around 2-8% of my CPU; my CPU being an I5. However, when it freezes and after it finally ends beach balling the cpu percentage skyrockets to around 40% then falls back to around 4. Yesterday I tried loading google chrome and now it says there is an ssl error, and my date in the top right corner has been rolled back to January 1 2012. I Tried chaning it but it beach balled and I shut off my computer. Right now I am using Safari, and have closed many, random, processes on the activity monitor and it seems to be running smoother with no beach balls. Anyone have any suggestions?
    **When I tried to add tags posting this my safari froze. When i closed xcel in my activity monitor safari started working again. Is this possibly a RAM issue?

    So my genius confirmed that my logic board had died. he said it's very rare for this to happen unless there's been physical damage I.e water damage. But this one had him stumped he thinks my hard drive is also shot too.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display - Sound and video doesn't work at the same time.

    I just bought a macbook pro retina display and tried to watch a movie by connecting my macbook pro via hdmi to my home theater receiver (Onkyo TX-SR309) and into my HDTV (Sony Bravia 42"). My problem is, i don't get sound from the speakers connected to the receiver.
    When i disconnect the HDTV from the receiver (only the receiver is connected to the macbook pro), then sounds will comes out from the speaker.
    Can somebody help me to fix this problem?

    With the HDMI connected and the Onkyo powered on, open system preferences, go to the sound panel, and select the HDMI choice.
