Repairing Screen on MacBook Pro (Damaged by cleanser)

Well, much to my dismay, my 4-year old nephew decided to spray Lysol on my laptop screen and now there are "patches" on the screen which likely need repair. The screen is very much operational, but as you could imagine, it is quite annoying to use.
Approximately how much will this cost to repair and/or replace via Apple or are there do it yourself options? Thanks.

Unlikely. Normal stores are not going to stock that at all, so your best bet is going to be web sites who resell parts from Mac laptops that have been parted out. But the unibody MacBook Pros are pretty new, and the nonglare screens are not the standard configuration so they are going to be rare. You might not even get much of a price break. If you want to look around here are some of the places that have traditionally sold Mac parts. It might be worth contacting them to see if they know of better sources for replacement screens.

Apple MacBook Pro - Damaged screen

Is there any email address to ask for any support to Apple staff???
I sent the enclosed email to 3 different email addresses [email protected], but I got only automatic answers to them.

"Dear Sir,
On the last January we read about the new MacBook Pro and ordered one exemplar in order to test its performance.
We received the ordered laptop (Serial Number W860806KVJ3) on the 21st February 2006 with Windows Office 2004 Software.
Unfortunately after only few days I hit the screen of MacBook Pro with the iPod after its synchronization and a crack appeared on it.
So we brought the MacBook Pro for the repair of screen to the nearest Apple Center in Rome and after two weeks we received the proposal for repair.
The cost for replacement of screen is Euro 900 (+VAT)!!! Therefore we decided to abandon the laptop and do not buy Apple anymore.
We have only a professional use of laptops, then the fragility of parts like screen and the exaggerate cost of maintenance is a limit in making use of Apple computers.
We would be very glad in receiving your comments about our experience
Thanks in advance"

That must have been some wack to the screen! face the music bud you messed it up now pay for it. It's like buying a Mercedes and crashing it and blaming them because of repair costs.
This is a joke right?

Appears and quickly disappears a new screen overlaying the screen in use, it starts at the bottom of the screen tela.MACbook pro retina.O what could be causing this?

Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them. They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent. They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover. The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free. If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store. For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

A0020 model of screen in Macbook Pro Retina 13' (Late 2013)

A0020 model of screen in Macbook Pro Retina 13'. Anyone know who is the manufacturer of this screen? I've tried to find it on the internet, but it's seems that nobody know. I'm worried a little bit about that, because I didn't knew about the problem with the LG displays in Mac. In case that it's LG, there is some instructions how to prevent screen degradation?

Go step by step and test.
1. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Changing the screen ? Macbook pro 2006/2008

Hi all !
I need to buy a new mac laptop, but infortunately, I can't use the LED screens (yes, I know, it's a pity - it gives me serious headaches, and no one computer builder seems to take these kinds of problem in consideration), so I can "only" think about the last generation of macs laptops without LED-backlight screens, the Macbook pro 2006/early 2007.
But I was wondering something : if I can find a later one, before the unibody generation, like the 2008 one, 15", (with a LED-baclight), and find a Macbook pro 2006 non-LED-backlight screen, 15", will it be possible to change the LED screen to the non one, and so giving to the 2008 computer a non-led technology, or will it be some incompatibilities at some points ?
Thank you for your answer,
Rergards,
T.

Thank you for your answer, but yes, I did. And even if it's not soooo fast on a anti-glare LED one, the headache come anyway after a while.
I also have used special calibration software for this kind of problem (the one with sunglasses icon). Honestly, it gives me maybe half an hour more of work before headache. But a 3 days migraina (or migraine, too late to know the right writing) for 1h30 of work on a LED-screen is not something I can handle every day.
The fact is that I have to work also at other places than home, or wandering ones. So, that's why I wonder if it's possible to change displays, and ask the wonderful Apple community. :-)
Thank you for your answer,
T.

Best screen resolution Macbook Pro 17"

Question: What is the best screen resolution Macbook Pro 17"

It's also the only one currently available.

Broken screen of MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Where I can find the part?

I have a broken screen for MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) and I cannot find a replacement. Where I can find the screen? I will install myself. Thanks

Apple does not sell replacement parts, any you find will be third-party knockoffs. Take your Retina to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs tell you what needs to be done. New Retina screens are not cheap, they normally replace the entire lid as a unit.

Cost of replacing glass screen of MacBook Pro?

Yesterday I went to my desk and found a crack curving across the screen of my 15" MacBook Pro. I genuinely have no idea how it happened as it had been sitting alone for several hours. There's no damage to the casing or to the LCD beneath the glass. At first I thought it was a scratch because of how thin and at the surface it is, but then with the way it travels across the screen I realized it was a crack. My husband did a few internet searches and we found a post that said if the laptop gets too hot, it may crack the screen (and my laptop had not been shut down in a while). Has anyone else heard of this happening?
My applecare expired for the device a few months back and because of the age of my laptop (purchased in 2009) I was told I was not allowed to renew it.
So, with me covering the price of replacing the glass, I was wondering if anyone knew approximately how much this would cost (or if Apple would replace just the glass at all because I've read several topics where people said they would only replace the entire upper half of the laptop, including casing and LCD).
If anyone else has had to replace just the glass part, I'd be very much interested in hearing about your experience of getting this repaired.
Thanks in advance.

This is an international community. Prices vary from country, state, city, etc. You should call the repair shop of your choice and ask for an estimate. Make sure the estimate includes taxes, labor costs, etc. Remember, no one can give you an exact figure until the repair techs physically examine & run diagnostics on your computer to confirm what is wrong w/it.

Login screen on MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault is extremely slow (suttering)

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault on OS X Mavericks. When I boot up the mac freshly it takes quite long to get to the initial login screen (which as I understand is a pre-boot login provided by the recovery partition if File Vault is enabled). However, what is even more bothering me is that once I get to this screen, the whole UI is behaving extremely slow. The mouse makes jumps of a few inches on the screen and the animations (e.g. if you click a user and then an animation shows the password entry field) are running in slow motion and only update every few seconds. Typing the password afterwards runs smothly again (altought for example moving the mouse at this point still behaves as described before). After loggin in to the account OS X runs fine without any hicks. Can anyone give me a hit what this could be and how I could resolve this?
This has already been done:
Reset PRAM
Boot into recovery partition and run repaired disk and disk permissions
Run all OS X maintenance operations and cleared caches using OnyX
What I could imagine is that somehow the recovery partition is damaged (which as I understand is used to boot to the login screen if File Vault is enabled).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

Just ordered a Retina MacBook Pro11,2 (mid-2014 15", 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, OSX 10.9.4 Pre-installed - Build 13E28) and have the exact same issue. The first thing I did when i booted it for the first time was enable FileValut2 and encrypt the disk. Though I failed to notice this behavior prior to encrypting the disk, the stuttering/lag happens without fail every time I have logged in from a cold boot, locked screen or sleep. Additionally I have noticed the same stuttering behavior when switching tabs on various built-in OSX applications such as the tabs on the About This Mac > More Info.... (System Information) dialog for example, and similarly other dialogs that experience this behavior of resizing when switching tabs. I was running no other software than About This Mac > More Info ... (System Information) and OSX 10.9.4 itself. The issue happens without fail with and without a USB mouse plugged in.
I am really glad to have found this thread and with such recent posts. I'd love to find out that this is just a software bug that will be fixed when OSX 10.10 "Yosemite" is released. If not, I hope the cause of this bug is determined soon so I can still exchange or have it repaired.
Migflono and Matthew, would you be able to post your hardware specs for comparison?

Update now blank screen on MacBook Pro

I updated MacBook Pro yesterday and after restart the screen was and still is blank. Restarts do nothing. Any ideas?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Repairing broken Retina Macbook Pro

How to repair my broken retina macbook pro?
My 15 inch retina macbook pro fell on the floor and is damaged. The screen is completely apart and the aluminum unibody shows many signs of damage. I want to see what my repair options are here. The pro is still under Apple's one year limited hardware warranty. What does it cost? Can I have apple repair it for me for a less price or any other reliable repair specialists? I just don't want to throw the $2500 pro machine in trash when some of its parts clearly can be of use.

Doesn't cover user inflicted damage, only factory defects.

Third party companies likely don't have access to the sources of the Retina Displays or parts to switch yours as it's a rather new machine.
So to fix it would have to go to Apple for repairs and no warranty/AppleCare as the original damage could have further issues later.
I just don't want to throw the $2500 pro machine in trash when some of its parts clearly can be of use.
Well if you decide the repair bill is too much or too involved or can't be done reasonably (like just the display replaced), then sell the machine for parts to a online Mac repair shop, they will certainly welcome the spare parts to use in others machines.
Your likely better off with a cheap $400-$600 Windows PC next time around.

Black Screen on MacBook Pro Early 2008

Hey guys,
i have a problem. My MacBook Pro Early 2008 doesnt boot anymore. If i press the power button the screen remains black and the hdd spins a few seconds and you can hear the superdrive make a short noise. But nothing more happens.
I know from the nVidia 8600m GT issue and i even have the modelnumber A1260 but the apple reseller told me that if there comes no start sound , it is not that problem. My question is: is it possible that the (probably) defect 8600m gt chip on my logicboard has caused a defect of the whole logicboard ? I heard from a guy whos board was repaired for free but its PowerManagment Unit on the logicboard was defect but the Technical guy told him , that it was caused by the nvdia chip and so it was repaired for free. How can i find out if my chip was the reason for the defect ?
Iam not a native speaker and i hope you can understand what iam trying to say iam happy for every correction and help.
greets
max

"How can i find out if my chip was the reason for the defect ?"
By having it examined by a certified Apple technician. If necessary, show the tech the KB Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues
"apple reseller told me that if there comes *no start sound* , it is not that problem."
You do not have a start sound?
Have you tried starting up from your install DVD?
If you have AppleCare, strongly suggest that you contact them first.

Back screen on macbook pro.

I have a macbook pro 15" from 2007. It worked perfectly for over 4 years. Den the screen goes black. I deliver it to service i norway and they said that it will cost 10000,00 Nok to repair it. Need a new motherboard. I decided not to repair it. Resently i discover on the nett that this was a known fault on this type LP. Can someone give me some information how to go forward this to get apple to pay for some of the cost. Have asked apple norway. But they dont whant to have any thing to do whit this problem. My macbook is over five years old. It is one year since it broke down.

there is no installation cd, i have hit the command r function and attempted to reinstall from the recovery option stored on the computer. I am connected to the internet. It keeps saying downloading extra components and then once completed just goes b ack to main screen with my old log in informaiton as if nothing has happened. I also attempted to try to do a back up from a restore log and nothing on that as well.

Broken Screen On Macbook Pro

When going to close my macbook pro the screen just broke, I placed my finger on the screen to close it and my finger literally made a hole in the screen and cracked it. I know this could be accidental damage, but is there some manufacture problem in it being so dainty and easily brekable? Would they fix it with the one year warrenty? Thank you!

We can't answer your question. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
