Replacing LCD Display

My display cracked and it quickly spread to the point that I can see only 15% of my screen. I went to my local apple store hoping it would be covered under the apple care warranty but since it was my fault it was not covered.
Thats ok. Whats not ok is that they are asking for $750 to fix it! Thats 3/4 of the original price of the whole computer!!
I was just on ebay and found a replacement display for under $200.
Is it possible to switch that myself, or if not, bring it into an apple repair shop and have them do it?

  • White screen after replacing LCD display myself. Help needed!

    I tried replacing the cracked LCD display, the fuctions on the iPod is still working but after replacing the LCD display it turns out to be white. I search the internet for solution but can't find any instead the possible problem. I found forums stating it could be the 'GPU chip' is fried on the logic board. I tried the cracked LCD on another iPod Touch 2nd Gen and found out that you could still see the outline of the lockscreen and time but when I tried on the original iPod Touch 2nd Gen it's just white, the same goes for the new LCD display. It's there any possible way to replace just that part without resetting the iPod Touch to its factory settings and how much would it cost?

    There

  • Replacement LCD Displays

    Hi, Folks--I'm new to this forum so please forgive me if I'm asking something that has been asked recently.
    I have a 23" Cinema Display (the older one, model # M8536) that needs a new LCD display unit (the old screen is cracked). Is there any place where an end user can purchase these replacement screens for self-installation? I have Googled this topic everyway I can think of and can only find big LCD manufacturers that sell to the corporate world. One exception was applepalace.com which had the units available for about $1,800--a ridiculous price for a display that has not even been sold by Apple for a couple of years now.
    I've also scoured ebay, but the integrity of these used displays is always suspect.
    Any help for this do-it-yourselfer would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    The reason why yyou can use your MacBook on tv is that your hardware is totally fine. But your MacBook display isnt. i dont think you can solve this problem. This macbook needs an operation of an expert. He is going to replace the old display with newer. This accident can cost a lot of dollars so next time be careful with your MacBook! Best of luck to you!

  • Replacement LCD display for AIO

    HP Omni 120-1034 fell forward on the desk, and the LCD display is cracked. The pc is out of warranty so I want to replace the screen but need to find the part number  and a source for the part itself. Any suggestions welcome, I'm findin the HP support site less than helpful so am turning to the forum. Thanks so much.

    Maybe have your screen replaced by Lenovo Support. Replacing a tablet LCD can be tricky maybe.

  • Macbook Pro Display Blank/Black - Replaced LCD

    Hi all - I recently started working on a Macbook Pro for a coworker that had dropped their MBP. The LCD was broken, but the computer was still functional, as I saw that the OS booted normally. So, we ordered a replacement LCD.
    The first LCD was dead (or so we thought), so a replacement was given by the LCD distributor. Same deal.
    Dead monitor, I have tried the following unsuccessfully:
    -reset PRAM
    -reset PMU
    -new inverter, new cable - neither worked
    Any thoughts?

    OK--so this is an original MBP. You are in the late 2008-early 2009 section of the forum, so I am going to request that your post be relocated to the original MBP section.
    Have you tried an external display? If you get good graphics on an external, it will be further conformation that the graphics chip is OK.
    I am puzzled as to why the original display worked, but two separate replacements did not. I have heard of the brightness indicator getting stuck all the way to the left, so that the display remains black. Can you see the desktop at all by shining a bright light through the apple? If so, maybe you could go to System preferences>Desktop and see if the slider is stuck, and if so, move it to the right.
    Good luck!

  • Can anyone tell what is the number to replace a damage LCD display in my iPad 2?

    In a recent incident the lcd display in my iPad 2 became damage, I would like to replace it. Can anyone tell me the replacement number for this part? so I can order it in the internet
    Thank you in advance

    Apple does not sell parts to the public and does not provider parts numbers. You will have to use the internet to find either a used or OEM replacement. Start with http://www.ifixit.com.

  • I need to replace my LCD display on my 13.3" macbook model

    I broke my LCD display on my 13.3" mackbook model # A1181 and I want to buy a replacement screen online and replace myself.  The removal and installation will not be a problem for me, but I want to get a display that is the exact same as the original screen that came with my macbook when I purchased it about 4 years ago.  Can anyone tell me a site to purchase the display that will work for my mac? Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Replace LCD in 23" Cinema Display?

    I recently acquired (for $100) a 23" Cinema HD Display with a cracked LCD. The display lights up and displays so it seems to be working correctly despite the loss of the LCD. I can buy a used replacement for $250. Assuming the replacement LCD is fine, how hard is it to disassemble,repair and reassemble a Cinema Display? There are no visible screws or other ways in and I'm guessing a lot of glue in involved. I have replaced LCDs in many laptops (including titanium PowerBooks) but have yet to attempt anything on this scale before.

    I'm in a similar situation where I have an out of warranty cinema display that does not work. Apple want more than the cost of a new display to replace it!
    I want to get inside it to see if there are any obvious problems but cannot find any information on the web on how to do this. A number of people have suggested that the sides are either glued on or held on with clips. I think its glue myself so would use a hair dryer to help loosen before removing.
    Can you let me know how you get on if you go ahead with the repair. Thanks and good luck.

  • Restart screen and no volume after LCD display replacement

    Hello All,
    I recently replaced a broken LCD display on my Powerbook G4. It starts up fine and I can even use my laptop for certain things. However, I get no sound and when I try and play songs off of itunes, quicktime files or any program that requires video or sound I get the "you need to restart your computer" screen. Any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
    Jay

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you replace the screen yourself, you may have missed some cable connections.
    If the clock battery is over 4 years old, I'd get it replaced.
    If the clock battery is under 4 years old, check these articles:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    If you had someone else replace the screen, ask them to fix the damage they did which left you without audio and is causing kernel panics.
    My FAQ* here explains what can cause kernel panics:

    Which is your "You need to restart your computer" screen.

  • Replacement of powerbook LCD display

    I am using an "old" powerbook G4 which has completely satisfy me until it unfortunately fell from my desk. Now my LCD display seems to be dying slowly, with a lot of mutlicolor lines on almost a third of the screen and an entire dead pixel's zone at the bottom right corner of my display. Plus a black spot, pretty like a solar eruption.. It could be artistic if it was not ruining my display. So I have got simply 3 basic questions:
    - Can I fix these damages?
    - If not, where can I get a new display (near Geneva, Switzerland) and is it worthwhile to pay for it replacement?
    - How much will it approximately cost me?
    Many thanks for your suggestions

    Yeah, that sounds like the wires through your display hinge might be getting pinched. I'd take it to the Genius Bar.

  • Replacement of broken lcd display screen

    Hi
    I dropped my iphone 4 and the lcd display screen is broken.
    While i am still able to use the phone, not sure if we can have this replaced.
    I purchased the phone while in Sydney, Australia but have now relocated to Chennai, India.
    Would be grateful if someone can advise whether it can be replaced, whether apple store have this facility or whether we get the original screen outside
    Regards
