Macbook Display 100% broken

Well my screen is 100% broken because of an unfortunate event happening including the dropping of a cell phone that effectively cracked the screen. It started off small only effecting 1/3 of the screen, but now its covering the entire screen. Luckily i have an external display hooked up to my laptop so it is still usable. My question is how much will it cost to have the screen fixed/replaced and how long this process would take? Also should i just buy a new macbook or have the screen fixed?
Thank you,

Hi David.
You'd get much more accurate information, if you make contact with an
Apple Store, and ask them for prices.

  • MacBook Display Broken

    So last night I was in a car accident and my MacBooks display is broken. It is miss aligned and cracks in the display. What are my options does apple cover this? How can I get it repaired? Would my home insurance cover this?

    check out www.mbresq.com. I sent them my macbook when my screen got cracked, they mailed me a box sent it off got it back 2 days later or something with a brand new screen. The plus side is it only cost $440. Whoever said apple pays $400 for the lcd is full of it. I wouldn't doubt if they buy them for less than $100, and just gouge people who have broken screens. You can also buy screens yourself and attempt to replace it yourself, but that's a lot more work, and can be much more frustrating.

  • Is it possible to display a macbook with a broken monitor on a TV?

    A little while back I broke my Macbook display screen and, as I'm sure you all know, it is extremely expensive to replace. While I am saving up to have the money to fix it permenantly, is it possible to display it on a TV with the DVI adapter even though I can see almost nothing on the macbook screen itself? I don't want to spend the extra money for the materials if it cannot be completed. Any help would be great

    It is ... however, you will need to use an external mouse and keyboard. Connect the display adaptors, turn the MacBook on, and, when you've given it enough time to get to the desktop (you may or may not see anything happen on the TV), close the lid, allow it to go to sleep, then click the mouse to wake it up. It should use the TV as the main display.

  • How to edit/print photos marked with an icon displaying a broken rectagle?

    I have been trying to print pictures displaying a broken rectangle. When I open up the pictures, they will not become clear on the screen and consequently I can not edit them. They seem to be missing the base part of the picture that must be lost in my computer. Thanks for the help. Debby

    > Yes they were moved from my photo file to Adobe starting edition.
    PSA SE does not store the picture files anywhere. It only catalogs what you have. If you deleted them from My Photos after importing into PSA SE, the image files are now lost [unless you have a backup or they are in the Recycle Bin].

  • Macbook display sometimes fails to turn on after shut down (2008 2.4Ghz dual core 2 duo - 2GB DDR2 running OSX 10.6.8)

    I own a black macbook (early 2008 model) and for the past few months the display has occasionally (although recently more often) failed to turn on when booting. This only happens every one in four times after a full shut down. When I turn on the computer, I hear the hard drive boot and the fans start going, I also get a response in the white light indicator. When this occurs, I then have to press the on/off button to shut the macbook down, then press the button to turn it on again. Sometimes this works on the second try, but other times it takes 3 to 4 times turning it on or turning it off. Initially I thought it was a hard drive issue (and planned to purchase a new hard drive), but after connecting the laptop to an external screen, the desktop shows up (macbook display remains off despite unplugging or replugging external display). Is this a firmware issue? Or potentially a display cable issue? I'm leaning towards firmware since it only happens every 1 in 4 times. All parts in the macbook are original to 2008 and I've never really had any problems before.
    I've tried resetting by taking out the battery/pressing the on button.
    I also did a clean 7 pass wipe and reinstalled Mac OSX.
    Used TechTool Deluxe - found no issues.
    Booted computer and pressed D to perform a Mac hardware test - no problems found.
    Not sure what to do now...

  • My iphone 5 display has broken and i want to know there is any procedure to replace iphone ,it is out of warrenty

    display has broken and i have to replace my iphone 5 , there is any procedure to do this if yes then please help

    One option is to have it repaired: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/
    Not sure what you mean by "procedure to replace." How you would buy a new one depends on where you are located, whether you are under contract with a carrier for the old phone, etc. If you mean a procedure to move your data to a new phone, the following may help: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

  • Use iPad as MacBook display?

    I have an '07 MacBook that took an unfortunate tumble and destroyed all but one corner of the screen. I was going to replace it over the summer with a Desktop and an iPad, but I don't want to get the Desktop now as I'm moving soon.
    So what I'm wondering is if it would be possible to hook the iPad up to my MacBook somehow and use it as a display so I can access my MacBook until I can buy a Desktop. I've seen a few topics about using the iPad as a split screen for the Pro but I'm looking for it to completely replace my MacBook display.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Without a display it is difficult to configure any Mac. In the past did you ever enable screen sharing in the System Preferences so that you could view your MacBook from another Mac? If so you may be able to install an app that allowed you to use the iPad by first accessing your MB from another Mac over a network. But that would be difficult to do if you never enabled screen sharing.
    If perchance you could install on your MB the apps needed you might look at Air Display for viewing your MB's display from an iPad.

  • Macbook Air Logicboard broken

    Hello,
    the LogicBoard of my now exactly 2 year old Macbook Air is broken. I checked it at an Apple Reseller store. They offered me a repair for 540 EUR.
    I have bought an Apple MacBook because I thought the products are of a good quality. I have never had such a problem with my former PC´s.
    Is this a common problem with this series? Does anyone had the same problem?
    Is there a chance that the repair get´s carried out at Apple´s expense?
    Thanks for your responses

    Not common, but things fail.

  • Macbook air hinge broken

    Hi all, the right hand side hinge of my 2.5 year old macbook air has broken into pieces, and cracked and broken pieces of plastic off the grey plastic tubular hinge interconnecting piece. Does anyone know if this is covered by any kind of warranty for faulty parts? the metal hinge has broken and the screen is literally hanging off, although the computer has suffered no abuse or any kind of hit, just normal and infrequent opening and closing!

    As Tony recommended you need to contact AppleCare directly. But hopefully this thread will serve as a reference point - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1893302?start=0&tstart=0
    If you go through it all (and it's very long) you'll see that covers over 2 years and more importantly has had mixed results from users. It looks like Apple is handling machines on a case-by-case basis.

  • Ibook g3 Display Case Broken

    My daughter accidentally knocked our computer off the table last night and the casing around the display is broken. Not cracked just coming apart now. The display works fine but I need to fix the casing. What is the best way to do this?
    Thanks.

    Which model is it (MHz rating and optical drive specs)?
    There are two different types of case on the iBook G3 (Dual USB), so in order to find one that matches, we need to know which model it is.
    Do you want to try this yourself? It's quite complicated, requiring nearly complete disassembly of the iBook to get to the display housing.

  • Macbook Display vs LCD Display

    How does my macbook display compare to a 1080i lcd screen

    The 1080 in 1080i is vertical resolution. Assuming a 16:9 widescreen TV, the resolution would be 1920 × 1080. The MacBook LCD's native resolution is 1280 x 800.

  • Macbook display malfunction

    Hello
    Late last week while merely surfing the web, I noticed some flickers on my macbook display. I had never seen those before. I've read about flickers on discussions here. Then over the weekend, I would start the computer only to have the display not light up instantly.
    The machine is on, and you'd have to hold the MB certain, slight ways (against a light) to see that it is operating. Sitting the MB certain ways would enable the display to actually light up to its normal brightness.
    But Monday the display would not light up at all. Again, the MB is operational, the battery is fully charged. But the display is nearly pitch black. Only squinting at it can you see any tiny, grainy vision of the desktop screen. I've tried, out of curiosity, things like extracting and replacing the battery, but to no avail. Might anyone here have any clue as to what's going on? I expect at the least to take it to an apple store/genius bar later this week. Any help/insight would be appreciated.

  • MacBook Display Cleaning

    Hello,
    I recently purchased the iKlear Travel Wipes Kit to use in cleaning my screen. I followed the instructions exactly and did result in screen smearing which (after researching on these forums), was resolved by vigorously buffering the screen with the included Blue Chamois cloth in the kit.
    Now that my screen is back to normal, is there ANY other product on the market (particularly in Canada) which is available to clean the glossy MacBook display without the result of buffer-able residue streaking? A product which possibly just comes right off without so much effort as required with iKlear Polish?
    Thanks.

    I use to clean my screen using micro fiber streak free wipes.
    I try not to touch my screen, so what on the screen is mostly dust that is easily wiped out with dry cloth above.
    But for smudge oil or finger print on the screen, I damp the fabric lightly by spraying water to the fabric (never spray anything right to the screen). And wipe it clean.
    For some oily mark that water cannot erase, I either spray iklear or windex glass (not recommended but work well on my case) lightly on that damp cloth and wipe it one more time. And it makes my screen crystal clear as new.
    Good Luck.

  • MacBook display brightness will not adjust

    My MacBook display brightness is very low level, the F1 and F2 brightness keys bring up the transparent window and show brightness turned all the way down, but F2 does not increase the brightness. In Preferences, the display section shows the Brightness slider all the way to the top, and if I attempt to slide that down it snaps back to the top, and the actual screen brightness does not change from very low. I also have verified that the function keys are NOT set to lock out the brightness function, so pressing command and F1/F2 does nothing. So nothing from previous forums seems to apply! All other function keys operate properly (multi-window, volume, dashboard).

    OK guys, think I found a solution to this one.
    My girlfriend's mac had the same problem as yours, and I was motivated to fix it becuase I needed to use my mac for my dissertation and she kept stealing it!
    anyway, turn the brightness all the way down, press it up once and you will see the screen flash. do it again, really fast up and down up and down and the scree will stay on as long as you keep playing with the buttons.
    next, use this temporary fix to get into system preferences -> displays... and change the resolution to something considerably lower. then it stays on permanently. Not too sure about why this happens, maybe the mac can no longer handle that many colours or complexities?
    sod it. enjoy.
