My Mac laptop display is damaged - what do I do? Getting your Mac display damaged is a nightmare for every Mac user. Screen usually breaks after a fall, which is even more common on new Unibody MacBook Pro models where the glass surface reaches the very edge of the display enclosure. Another cause could be the pressure caused by a hit or a heavy object. Unfortunately, physically damaged displays cannot be repaired and your only option is a complete replacement of the display. If you have an extended Apple warranty (AppleCare) you are in luck - Apple will replace the damaged display at no cost. If not however, you have a number of options. The most obvious one is to get it repaired by the Apple Service centre. This can get pricey because Apple will not just replace the damaged display - it will also replace complete laptop lid, as both the display and the lid form a single service part. This way you are paying for something that you don't necessarily need.

Fortunately there are alternatives such as specialized online shops that sell Mac parts, where you can find the display in good working order for a fraction of the cost. Also it is worth checking Ebay - usually there are always a number of sellers offering MacBook displays and parts. If you go this route you will either have to find a skilled tech to replace the display for you or follow the instructions provided online that will guide you through the whole cracked laptop screen mac ordeal/process. The only thing you will need are suitable tools, time and a bit of patience and skill. At the end, it will be worth it! If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, contact computer repair shops and ask them for a quote - any PC repair shop should be able to perform this repair on a Mac.
