broken lcd screen macbook quotation

MacBook laptops from Apple are some of the most beautiful and well designed – not to mention powerful, but just like everything else man-made they aren’t impervious to accidental drops, dings, and damage.

Thanks to the fact that they are made using high-quality construction materials (especially milled aluminum) they feel indestructible in the hand, but those gorgeous retina displays have the potential to pop and spiderweb just like any other screen out there.

Unlike most laptop computer repairs, the retina display on the MacBook is very unique, and as a result much more expensive to service. Lenovo, HP, Dell and all major OEM for PCs will utilize the same display across hundreds of models, and even that display is used across multiple years of laptops.

If you are unlucky enough to have a damaged screen, chances are pretty good you started to look into how much does it cost to replace a MacBook screen at the Apple Store – and the odds are pretty good you had a tough time hammering down concrete figures without bringing your computer into a store and having someone from the Genius Bar have a look. If you wanted to make an appointment with a Genius Bar, you can find that additional information here.

In this quick guide we hope to show you about how much you can expect to have to spend on MacBook repair going forward, the total “all in” cost for getting your screen replaced, and your computer back up and running.

The MacBook Air was first released in 2008, so there are a lot of models in the wild that might need their screens replaced. The cost of the repair will depend on the model of the MacBook Air, as well as the problem it is having with its screen. Below I will cover the most common models I see for repair and the cost of repairing each model. I have been repairing MacBook Air screens since the beginning, and after repairing a few thousand screens personally, I can confidently say I am an expert Mac screen repair tech.

How much does it cost to replace a MacBook Air screen? The cost to replace a MacBook Air screen is $299 for most models. The A1466 model is $179, while the A1932 and A1279 models are $299. The A2337 model is $299 for the LCD or $429 for the entire display.

This was the longest-running design for the screen on the MacBook Air. All the different models within these years are compatible with the same LCD panels. The cost seems to be coming down on the screen repairs for these A1369 and A1466 models. The cost to repair the screen on a 2010-2017 MacBook Air is $179. This will cover the LCD panel itself, the labor to install it, and the shipping to get the computer back to you.

Apple finally did a complete rebuild on the MacBook Air in 2018 and created a new model number A1932. The newer model has a redesigned display assembly that utilizes a different LCD panel and overall build than the prior 7 years of MacBook Air models. The cost to repair the screen of a 2018-2019 MacBook Air is $299.

The 2020-2021 MacBook Air looks basically identical to the 2018-2019 model, but the new model requires a different LCD panel than the older version of the laptop. There are actually 2 variations on this LCD panel. One is used for the intel-based models, and the other is used for the M1 models. I expect these LCD panels will be one of the harder-to-get models as it was only used for a single model of production.

The cost to replace a cracked LCD panel on an M1 2020 model A2337 MacBook Air is $299. If you would like to have the entire display assembly replaced with a genuine Apple display assembly, the .

Apple once again created an entirely new model with a completely redesigned screen in 2022 with their M2 MacBook Air. This new model hasn’t been out long enough for us to see what the price will end up being once the LCD panel is available on its own. For now, the cost to replace the full display assembly on the 2022 MacBook Air is $450-$750.

There are multiple parts in a display assembly, and chances are they do not all need to be replaced in order to get your computer fully working again. Knowing the basic parts that are required to complete your MacBook screen repair will help you select the correct repair for your needs.

The LCD panel is the part of the screen that displays the image, it is the part of the screen that you can touch when the computer is open. This is the most commonly broken part on a MacBook Air screen. If you have a cracked screen, there is a very big chance that what you need is an LCD replacement.

The display assembly is the entire top half of the computer. It includes the LCD panel, the back housing where the Apple logo is, the clutch cover along the bottom of the screen where it says “MacBook Air”, the iSight camera, and the hinges. If there are any bends or dents on the corners of your display, you will likely need to replace the entire display assembly.

The clutch cover runs along the bottom of the MacBook screen. It is the part that says “MacBook Air” on it. Sometimes I see clutch covers that are cracked or broken while the LCD panel itself is working fine! This means the computer works perfectly and the entire screen is visible and working, but there is a crack along the bottom of the screen in the part that says “MacBook Air” on it. If this is the issue you have, you just need a clutch cover replacement rather than an LCD replacement.

The MacBook Air camera almost never has an issue. If the camera does stop responding, the issue is almost always with the logic board inside your computer rather than the camera itself. Sometimes though, the cameras will fail and require replacement. Unfortunately with the way these MacBook Airs are assembled, you usually have to replace the LCD panel when you replace the camera.

The back housing is sometimes referred to as the “lid”. It is the part that has the Apple logo on it. Usually, the housing does not need to be replaced, but if there is a dent on the corner of the housing, a dent on the housing itself, or if liquid damage is present in the housing, then you will need the housing replaced as well as the LCD. Again, because of the way these are assembled you normally can’t replace just the housing by itself.

The hinges are exactly what they sound like, the hinge where the display meets the computer. Older model Macs from the 2006-2012 era sometimes had hinges that would crack or break and cause the display to not stay up properly. That is much rarer on the MacBook Airs, but it can happen. Some models require an entire display replacement in order to replace the hinges, while others you can replace separately. Because Apple routes cables through the hinges, you usually have to replace the entire display assembly if you have issues with the hinges.

There are a few different things you should consider when looking for a screen repair on a MacBook Air. There are many shops to choose from nowadays that offer screen repair services for Mac computers. Making a good choice for the screen repair can be the difference between getting an affordable quality repair, and an expensive repair that doesn’t last as long as it should.

What is the turnaround time for the repair? Some shops take longer than others to repair your computer. I have an entire article on turnaround time for the A1466 MacBook Air.

Take your time to research and choose a computer repair shop that you feel good about. With a little effort, you can find a great shop that will take care of your MacBook screen repair needs.

TCRS – I have asked for Tim’s help on logic board repairs many times over the past decade. He does not necessarily specialize in screen repair, but his shop is a great choice if you need logic board-level repairs. They are based in SoCal.

As I said, there are thousands to choose from, so do some research on the ones you are interested in and I am sure you can find a good repair shop to complete your MacBook screen repair.

If you have a MacBook Air that is not covered under AppleCare+, you will spend between $450 and $650 repairing your screen through Apple. There are a couple of different ways that the display repair is billed, so the price you are quoted will vary, but these are the standard quotes. Note that each damage tier is added to by a labor charge, which is usually $100. So a Tier 1 repair is usually about $280 for the MacBook Air + a $100 labor charge.

AppleCare+ does partially cover the cost of repairing a cracked screen on a MacBook Air. When you buy your computer, you are given the option to purchase AppleCare+. If you decide to purchase AppleCare+ and crack your screen, the total for the repair will be $99.

Repair cost through Best Buy is generally the same as through the Apple store. Best Buy usually charges around $450-$650 for MacBook Air screen repair.

Their actual repair capabilities on the store level seem to vary from store to store, but all the Best Buys in my area do not have Mac technicians in the actual store. They do have iPhone technicians and offer screen repair for iPhones (sometimes same-day repairs are available). But for Mac repair, they ship the computer out to be repaired and then have it shipped back to the store after repair.

When they do send a MacBook out for service, they are actually sending it to the same repair depots that the Apple Store does. They quote a marginally higher turnaround time than Apple (about 2 weeks). But generally have the computer back a little quicker than that.

UBreakiFix is not an Apple Authorized Service Provider. I do not know if they offer a genuine Apple screen (they could be utilizing Apple’s new self-repair program as I do for certain repairs), but I do know that their price for the 2020 M1 MacBook Air “starts at 479.99”. In order to get an exact quote, you have to bring your computer in for their free diagnosis.

The MacBook Air LCD replacement process is one that I don’t recommend for a beginner to an intermediate-level technician to attempt. It is best to start practicing with bad screens before moving on to these repairs. They are delicate and you can cause all kinds of problems during the repair by scratching backlight sheets or ripping cables under the LCD panel.

The display assembly replacement is a lot easier and can be completed by somebody with some technical repair experience. Apple has a self-repair program that covers the A2337 model MacBook Air. You can read about the program and get links in my 2020 M1 MacBook Air screen replacement guide.

I will say I have seen a lot of damaged screens when people attempt to repair the LCD panel on a MacBook Air themselves. Normally the damage is not fixable and you have to then replace the entire display assembly. I have a troubleshooting page for the A1466 MacBook Air if you have attempted a repair and ran into problems.

If you are experienced enough to complete the repair, you can find the panels on public sites like iFixit, eBay, Amazon, etc. As a shop, you will probably want to work with your vendor to get panels that have a guarantee so you can hold them in stock. The price for panels usually ranges from around $100 to about $400 for the newest model. Generally, the panels decrease in price with time, but sometimes if an LCD panel is not used frequently by apple, they will become rare and cost more over time for new ones.

I have put together a few guides on how to replace the LCD yourself. I currently have a 2010-2017 display and LCD replacement guide available. I also have started working on an A2337 display replacement guide that is still a work in progress. I am also working on making video guides for screen repair and hope to have those posted by the March of 2023.

The cost to replace a MacBook Air screen is $299 for most models. The A1466 model is $179, while the A1932 and A1279 models are $299. The A2337 model is $299 for the LCD or $429 for the entire display.

You can repair a MacBook Air Screen yourself, but it requires special tools. The repair is considered to be a moderately difficult repair, so I don’t recommend trying to do it yourself unless you have some experience in repairing electronics.

Apple will replace the MacBook screen for free if there are no cracks or physical damage present, but the laptop must be under warranty or AppleCare+. Sometimes screens will stop working on their own, and these types of problems will be covered under your warranty.

Apple charges between $450 and $650 to replace a MacBook Air screen if it is not under warranty. If you have AppleCare+, the cost to replace the screen through Apple is $99.

This is a great question to discuss with the shop you are thinking of doing the repair. Most of the time the answer is yes, it is worth repairing a MacBook Air screen if the MacBook Air is useful to you. The cost of the repair usually decreases with time, so older MacBook Airs will cost less to repair than newer MacBook Airs.

AppleCare+ generally does not cover a cracked screen completely. Rather it covers all but $99 of the screen replacement service. If there is liquid damage involved, then the charge is $299.

The MacBook Pro was first released in 2006, replacing the very popular PowerBook lineup. I remember being a little upset with Apple for making the switch to the intel processors, until I used one! After 16 years of the MacBook Pro, there are quite a few models that might need to get their screens replaced. The cost of the repair will depend on the year and model of the MacBook Pro, as well as the problem it is having with its screen. Below I will cover the most common models I see for repair and the cost of repairing each model. If you have an older model or something I do not cover below, please fill out my quote form and I will get back to you on the cost to get your screen fixed!

Although there are multiple parts in a display assembly, you may not need to replace all of them to get your computer fully working again. Knowing the basic parts that are required to complete your MacBook screen repair will help you select the correct repair for your needs.

When the computer is open, the image is displayed on the LCD panel which is the part of the screen you can touch. The LCD panel is the most commonly broken part on a MacBook Pro screen. If you have a cracked screen, you will most likely need an LCD replacement.

It is very difficult (or sometimes not possible) to source the LCD panel for certain models of the MacBook Pro. When there is no LCD panel supply, a full display replacement is all that will be available.

You will likely need to replace the entire display assembly if there are any bends or dents on the corners of your display, or if the display was damaged by liquid. The full display assembly includes the LCD panel, the back housing where the Apple logo is, the clutch cover along the bottom of the screen where it says “MacBook Pro”, and the hinges.

The clutch cover is the part of the MacBook that runs along the bottom of the screen and says “MacBook Pro” on it. Sometimes, I see clutch covers that are cracked or broken, but the LCD panel itself is working fine. This means that if the computer works perfectly and the entire screen is visible and working, but there is a crack along the bottom of the screen in the part that says “MacBook Pro”, you just need a clutch cover replacement rather than an LCD replacement.

The MacBook Pro camera is not known for having issues. If the camera does stop responding, the issue is most likely with the cables that connect to the camera, or the logic board inside your computer. Sometimes though, the cameras will fail and require replacement. Unfortunately with the way these MacBook Pros are assembled, you usually have to replace the LCD panel when you replace the camera.

On older model Macs from the 2006-2012 era, the hinges connecting the display to the computer sometimes cracked or broke, causing the display to not stay up properly. This was much rarer on the newer MacBook Pros, but it can happen. Some models required an entire display replacement in order to replace the hinges, while others allowed the hinges to be replaced separately. Because Apple has started routing cables through the hinges, usually the entire display assembly had to be replaced if there are issues with the hinges.

Some things to consider when looking for a shop to complete a screen repair on a MacBook Pro include the number of years the shop has been in business, the quality of its work, and the price they charge for the service. With so many repair shops to choose from, doing your research can help you find the best possible option for your needs.

Choose a computer repair shop that you feel good about after researching your options. A little effort upfront can save you a lot of hassle later on when you need your MacBook screen repaired.

Effective March 1, 2023, the out-of-warranty battery service fee will be increased by $30 for all MacBook Air models and by $50 for all MacBook and MacBook Pro models except for MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2023) and MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2023).

just to recap quickly: one day I turned on my laptop and there was a big nasty crack down the screen running from the top in a jagged line across to the side. the machine was never dropped, hit or abused in any way, so to anyone out there who doubts that this kind of thing can just happen... well, it can.

anyway, after taking the machine to an authorised repair centre, instead of contacting apple for a warranty repair as I"d asked them to do, they just sent me a quote to replace the screen at a cost of around 950€. now, if I"d dropped my computer, or some accident had happened to it, I would have just had to swallow it and accept that this is how things go. but seeing as nothing like that had ever happened, it"s a little harder to come around to thinking you are going to have to shell out for something that obviously was defective and snapped all of its own accord. the repair centre suggested that if I wasn"t happy with the quote I should take it up directly with apple..

so there you go, I was obviously quite happy with this and at the risk of sounding like a fanboy broken record, the apple consultants I spoke with were pretty decent and reasonable about the whole thing.

Was on vacation and came back to my room to find my LCD/display cracked on my MacBook Pro 16". I cannot see anything on the screen. The crack is straight (thin line) down the middle on the LCD/display (not the outside screen actually).

The full cost of repairs depend on the type and level of damage. For instance, replacing the screen under warranty costs less than other types of damage.

If you don’t think you need physical protection for your MacBook, take a look at how much it could cost you should you drop your MacBook or spill something on it.

For a MacBook Air, coverage costs your $249. This doesn’t include anything except the coverage. For a 13” MacBook Pro, the cost is $269. If your screen or external closure is damaged, you’ll have to pay a $99 service fee. Any other damage costs you $299.

Your out-of-pocket costs to repair a broken screen for a MacBook Air under AppleCare+ would be a total of $348. Just remember, you’re only covered for two incidents during a three-year period. Anything other incidents mean you’ll pay the full cost of repairs.

One of the most common repairs is the screen. Pricing begins at $250 (not including labor) and increases based on the age and model of the MacBook. If a hard drive needs to be replaced, you’ll pay anywhere from $225 to $450.

Technicians provide you with a quote based on the type of damage. For instance, you can contact the Apple Genius Bar to get a quote on how much it will cost to repair your MacBook.

Assuming you have a MacBook Air that’s covered under AppleCare+, the least you’ll pay for damage is $348 for a broken screen. This includes the cost of the warranty and the incident. If it happens a second time, it’ll cost you an additional $99.

Without any type of coverage, you have to pay hourly fees along with the cost of the hardware to repair your MacBook. On average, expect to pay over $300 for the simplest repairs.

If paying a third or more of what your MacBook’s worth just for a damaged screen or even a broken key makes you uneasy, don’t let the damage happen to begin with. Prevention costs far less than paying for the repairs afterward.

Picture this.You’re at home and drinking coffee while doing some work on your MacBook Pro. All of a sudden your cat jumps up onto your lap. This causes you to drop both your coffee andyour laptop.

The result? You now own a physically damaged MacBook Pro with a broken screen and possibly even liquid damage! This means that your MacBook Pro is now possibly rendered completely useless, and you are without a laptop.

Regardless of the reason for your broken device, most people might assume that repairing their broken screen or water damaged MacBook might be cheaper than purchasing new. Oftentimes this is not the case, and it can actually be more cost-effective to purchase a new device.

If you have a broken MacBook and bring it in to Apple for repairs, you will be charged a ridiculous amount of money to repair an out of warranty MacBook.

Rather than pay for repairs, instead, you can sell your used damaged MacBook. Use the money you would have spent to repair your device, but spend it on a brand new device!

It is good to note that there is not really such a thing as a MacBook “repair”. Instead, it is typically parts replacement. For example, if your chassis is dented on the side, they will not pull out the dent to “repair” it. Rather, your MacBook would need an entire chassis replacement. If your logic board has a liquid spill, Apple will not repair your logic board, but simply replace it.

There is no easy response regarding how much it will cost to repair an Apple MacBook, due to there being so many variations (such as model and year). Typically you can expect the smallest repair/replacement to be as low as $29, all the way up to as expensive as $849+.

This tier encompasses minor boards and assemblies. This can include replacement of the power supply board, inverter assembly, or interconnect board. It might also include enclosure parts or an LCD polarizer.

Damaging your MacBook screen can feel devastating. Even if your MacBook is still usable, it can be completely inconvenient to use, and generally spreads over time. If you have a broken screen on your MacBook then you are not alone. Screen repairs actually represent almost one-fourth of all repairs done by Apple in-store.

Whether you dropped your MacBook Air at school, have sudden pixel issues on your 12" MacBook, or dropped something on your MacBook Pro, a broken MacBook screen is an expensive repair.

Going back to the idea of repair Tiers, the cost of screen replacement is directly correlated with the Tier, but also with the year and model of your MacBook. If you choose to have your MacBook repaired at the Apple store, expect to spend between $455 and $755 to completely replace the screen.

Apple quotes repairs based on a series of tiers regarding damage and cost. For example, if you have a 13-inch MacBook Air and your child accidentally spills a glass of water on it, this would require a Tier 4 repair.

Tier 4 repairs can cost upwards of $750 or more. This is astronomical and almost 60% of the cost of a new MacBook Air. Apple is aware of this, and they train their employees to suggest forgoing a repair. Instead, they suggest purchasing a new device, while they recycle your broken MacBook free of cost.

Not all broken MacBooks occur because of an accident. Sometimes technology simply gets old. Years of use put a strain on a technological device, and natural wear and tear occur.

Age can show up in a MacBook as random shutdowns, a broken keyboard or trackpad, shortened battery lifetime, port issues, or overheating problems. These problems are all costly to fix and can even be expensive even for older models.

With older MacBooks, such as a broken 2012 MacBook Pro, Apple will often offer to recycle the device for you. The catch is that Apple will still make money off of it by recycling it, and this leaves you without a device and nothing in return.

Instead of fixing technology that will soon become obsolete, or recycling your broken or partially working device for nothing in return, you can sell your device to GoRoostr in order to purchase a new MacBook!

Instead of potentially spending hundreds of dollars to repair a broken and used MacBook, sell your MacBookfor the highest price on the market, and use the proceeds to purchase the newest model. In this case, you will not only have brand new technology, but you will also have a full warranty, and the option to purchase AppleCare+ in case an unfortunate incident happens again.

Replace your own Macbook display screen or contact our repair center for our Macbook Pro and Macbook Air screen repair options! Either option will save you hundreds of dollars compared to other companies.

We know your Mac wasn"t cheap, and even if it"s liquid-damaged, has a cracked screen or is completely dead, it still has value when you decide to sell it. Our goal is simple: We want to offer as much money as we possibly can for your broken MacBook. We believe in offering a selling price that"s fair to you. We encourage you to compare us to the competition. Whether it’s the excessive hidden fees, the lowered quotes or the next-to-nothing offers from our competitors, the difference is pronounced.

I"m just wondering, would it be cheaper to go a 3rd party to fix it? How much will it cost approximately? Will Apple be cheaper given the limited availability of the screen assembly? Can the LCD be replaced alone? The main answer I"m looking for is how much this is gonna cost me. I doubt they"re going to cover it under warranty, even though I have no idea what caused it.

Edit: For anyone thinking of helping, firstly thanks. Secondly, one of my friends had their screen replaced by apple, a late 2015 15 inch Pro model. This cost them £332, just as a guide for when deciding how much it will cost for my model. Thanks again.

The day is October 18, 2021. Apple just released the latest 16 and 14-inch MacBook Pros, and everyone is amazed by all the things that Apple just demoed during the keynote. I was flabbergasted just by looking at the numbers – I’ve seen what the M1 MacBook Pro was capable of doing, and I was very impressed with Apple’s claims on performance improvements and endurance.

After spending the next two days convincing myself that I needed to get the new 16-inch model, I decided to use the Apple trade-in to recoup some of my investments. I owned a 16-inch 2019 MacBook Pro, and while it worked well most of the time, it had a lot of performance issues due to throttling when connected to an external monitor, and the display was also broken. I was given a quote of £430 (~$570) for my machine at the time, which was competitive based on my research for a device with a display issue. I placed my order and trade-in on the same day, and it was smooth sailing from there. I just had to wait for my Mac to be built and shipped to me.

The top center of the display, just below the camera, turned purple, and some pixels looked completely dead. There was a small line going through the entire display. That was the moment I knew it would only last a few days at best. Unsurprisingly, the entire screen went blank three days later. When I took it to an Apple Authorized Repair shop, I was told I would have to pay £804 to get the display fixed – since I was out of warranty and didn’t have Apple Care+.

The resale value of my MacBook Pro was between £1,300-£1,600 ($1,700-$2,100) on eBay, so I knew that I would have to shell out roughly 50% of what my device is worth to get it working again. Needless to say, I wasn’t happy with my silly mistake, and I had no option to go down the route of fixing it myself, since nearly all MacBook parts are only available through Apple. Back in June, I was tempted to get it fixed, but I had just started working for Pocketnow, and I needed a machine that I could use and rely on to do my work, which is why I decided to keep it and use it in clamshell mode, connected to my USB-C monitor.

Due to the issues I was having, I decided to hold off on upgrading – even though the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro was tempting, I would have been limited to using one external display without any hacks. I sometimes use two or three monitors to write content, research, and for coding purposes. I decided to wait, since there were so many fingers pointing at Apple announcing the much-awaited M1-Pro and M1-Max MacBook Pro devices later in September or October.

The trade-in process itself was pretty simple and straightforward. I’ve selected a few options based on the condition of my device, and Apple quoted me £430 for the device with the broken display, at the time. I found his completely fair, given that Apple will most likely repair this device, and then list it as refurbished on Apple.com and sell it for £1,869 (~$2,490). I thought Apple would clearly have a lot of margins on it, and I could get away losing slightly less on my machine, and put it toward the 2021 MacBook Pro purchase.

You might see a recurring theme here, and that’s for a reason. Apple makes their customers believe that the quote is accurate if the trade-in partner inspects the laptop, and confirms the condition of the device, based on the user’s selection. This is all fine, and it works, but what happens if the trade-in partner confirms the state of the MacBook, yet manages to de-value your device to £0.00?

A few days later, after Apple’s trade-in partner inspected my MacBook Pro, I received an email notifying me of the changes. The trade-in window had a note stating that the “Display is not functional/not responsive to touch”. The latter confused me; how could a non-touch enabled display panel respond to touch? Whatever, I thought, I was happy it finally got checked by a professional. I was very happy and satisfied until I looked down at the revised refund trade-in value for my laptop, which went from £430 to £0.00.

On the “screen and enclosure of your Mac in good physical condition?” page, there is a pop-up panel that provides even more information about what the question means. The page asks “Is the screen intact and free of cracks and cosmetic damage? Is the display free of pixel loss, black or white spots and lines? Is the body free of major scratches, dents and liquid damage?” – it’s quite obvious that I put no as a selection, since the display wasn’t in great shape at all; it was blank and had a total pixel loss and a line.

This is where it gets confusing. Apple’s website explains that if you own a device that has a display that doesn’t function properly, it’s still fine to send it as you will likely receive the quoted value. It’s interesting to see that even though the MacBook Pro was described and inspected correctly, the value was revised to nothing. Apple is, of course, generous enough to say that it will happily accept the device for free, which would mean that I’d be giving away even more free goodies to a Trillion dollar company.

Four days after requesting back my device, I had finally received it in the same box I sent it in, although some of the extra paddings that I included inside were removed for some strange reason. Upon opening the return box, I found my MacBook Pro covered in dust from top to bottom. I’ve never seen a MacBook that dirty, and given that I take extra care of my devices when it gets to protection, it was appalling. The entire device was covered in dust, both outside and inside, near the keyboard and display. While some may say, “it could’ve happened during shipping,” it was clear when I took it out of the box that it was placed in a dirty warehouse, and it received very little to no care.

Upon opening the lid, the display started working again, just enough so I could see that it was missing the entire system, and it wanted to connect to the Wi-Fi to reset and re-download the original system it shipped with originally. When I selected the Wi-Fi in the dropdown menu, the screen would instantly go blank. It did this whenever I reattempted the same action. Fortunately, I had a USB-C to ethernet dongle around, and once I connected it, I could bypass the Wi-Fi selection and begin downloading right away. Sadly, the display would always die, and it wouldn’t let me see any of the options or allow me to react to any prompts by the system.

Once I went through all of the reset options that I could find on Google and on Apple’s own support forums, I decided to just re-install the entire original OS once again, using the ethernet cable. The process went through and seemed to work, but it’s hard to tell as I could only see the screen flash for a few milliseconds after turning off again. I’ve got a glimpse of the recovery menu, but I can’t do much without going through the setup process. I’m back to square one, albeit, I at least have an idea that it’s possible to re-install the OS, and it appears to be working fine.

I have read on a forum that I may have some luck disconnecting the entire display panel from the Macbook itself, which would force the external display method to work. The last thing I wanted to do was remove the back cover once again; therefore, I decided to skip this and move on. I was tired, and I didn’t want to mess with it anymore.

I wrote this on my 2021 MacBook Pro, and while I love this machine, I hope I won’t have to use Apple’s repair services, because I lost all confidence in the company and their repair staff, who doesn’t seem to handle these expensive devices with proper care. My 2019 MacBook Pro is gathering dust behind me on a shelf, waiting for a person to buy it on eBay. Still, it won’t be easy, since I can’t even state that it has an operating system, or re-assure potential buyers that it’s a fully working unit.

One of the most frustrating problems a person can experience is a broken laptop – and if you’ve ever dealt with a broken LCD screen you’ll know that it can render your MacBook virtually useless. It could be something that happened in an instant after you dropped it or spilled water on it – or something that’s a natural result of years of use or wear and tear. When screen issues arise, you have two ways to resolve the issue: replace or repair the LCD screen. So which would be better for your pocket and unique situation?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your laptop is a major decision for most MacBook users. The cost of repairing a broken screen – repair services, spare parts and the cost of retrieving data – can sometimes be the more cost-effective option when considering what the cost of replacing an entire MacBook with a new model is. However, this isn’t always the case. If you aren’t sure which of the two options to choose, answering these questions will help to make things clearer:Is the cause of the screen problem to do with a hardware fault or software problem?

The best step forward is to have a professional technician at a reputable repair centre specialising in MacBook and Apple devices give your MacBook a diagnostic check and provide you with a quote for the repair. They will ask you the above questions, and you can decide whether it’s worth buying a new MacBook or simply repair the broken screen.
