Screen Broken, NO Warranty!

So I woke up this morning and my the bottom right 1/4th of my screen looks almost cracked, and its black with a ton of vertical colored lines. Then I noticed that the right side of my display is actually bent, I have no idea how this happened. When I went to bed it was fine and now a fourth of the screen is completely useless. In fact, for awhile the black was seeping further into the middle, but at least that stopped. I don't have a warranty (and no I cannot purchase the standard care because my MBP is a little more than a year old). I didn't buy it cause I really don't take it anywhere outside my house, and now this. Does anyone know how much this will cost me before I send it in and get billed?
Thanks

Petrie,
I also just posted this info in another thread. Hope it helps.
Sorry to hear about the accident to your MacBook. I wonder if Apple made these cases slippery on purpose.
I have been looking for a used MacBook on eBay and just happened to see this auction for a 17" replacement screen. If you are handy and trust sending your money to Taiwan (note the seller has an excellent reputation), check this out: http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-17-Apple-MacBook-Pro-PowerBook-G4-LCD-screen_W0QQit emZ160188778479QQihZ006QQcategoryZ31569QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
$240 seems reasonable, if what the other posters say is accurate. If you decide to do it yourself, I suggest checking the part number carefully because there are usually no returns on electronics.
There are also repair manuals (CD-ROM) on eBay for less than $10. I picked one up and it gave me enough information to open up my MacBook and check a speaker connection. Check: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370004747925&ssPageName=MERCVIC_RCRX_Pr4_PcN_BIN_IT&refitem=170167247572&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_vie w_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promotwidget
Good luck, Jim

  • Is it possible to repair the iPhone, my screen broken, thanks!

    I dropped my iPhone 4, then the screen broken. It still can function. But I still wonder if I can fix or replace it. Does iPhone have warranty?

    Iphone has a one year warranty, but just like any other warranty on any other product it does not cover damage that you do to the product.
    You can get an out of warranty replacement:
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $199
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details."

    I have mi new ipad screen broken in one corner, I was really disappointed because it was drop from about 30 cm so I was not expecting the screen to be broken, well I went to apple store in regents street in London  and I was told that I have to pay 250 pounds for the screen replacement, it was a rip off and after many years using apple products I have expend thousands of pounds on them, I just think is  a rip off price. It will be difficult but I won't be buying any apple products anymore, I really feel like I was abuse that was half of the price of a new iPad. I have never complain in my life but this time I think apple is abusing me as a costumer.
    I'm really upset, I'm furious that apple uses his dominance in the market to Rip off costumers like me.

  • Cracked ipad screen with no warranty left?

    A couple of days ago I dropped my ipad 2 on the wooden floor and a crack formed. It is focused around the front camera but goes down onto a bit of the screen. My warranty ran out a year ago. I've heard of getting out-of-warranty replacements. Can you still get one if there is no warranty left?

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.

  • I cannot use the bottom part of my touch screen. It would not respond to any of the touches I make. Is the screen broken or have I stuffed up my settings? I want to be able to type on my iPhone

    I cannot use the bottom part of my touch screen. It would not respond to any of the touches I make. Is the screen broken or have I stuffed up my settings? I want to be able to type on my iPhone

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have the problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple.

    Hello HernanOtt,
    Depends on where you have it serviced.  Here are Apple's repair quotes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

    Do I have to pay apple to fix my phone screen if my warranty is still valid.

    If you damaged the screen, then yes, you have to pay. But most Apple stores can replace the screen for a relatively small fee. If the screen was defective there will be no charge for replacement.

  • Screen Broken

    Recently switched over to Verizon from At&t (More like 2 weeks ago) and picked out the Droid X2. Loving the phone. Well it slipped out of my pocket as I was sitting down and hit concrete screen first.
    Screen is cracked but phone still works.
    Question:
    Am I able to get a replacement phone or have my screen repaired under warranty either by verizon or manufacterer?

    If you purchased insurance, you will be able to get a replacement phone. Unfortunately, it probably will be a refurbished phone. As for screen repair, I believe that is an out-of-pocket repair. However, take it to your local VZW store and see what they say. Who knows, I may be wrong. It happens

    iphone 6 screen broken can the store retrieve pictures
    If I bring my phone to the apple store can they retrieve my pictures for me.

    Sorry, but if your screen is looked by a password and TouchID is not activated, you can't transfer the photos to a different computer, without using the touch screen.
    Did you try to transfer them to your computer?
