Typical MacBook Air Screen Repair

Image
A lot of customers come to our site with questions like "What does a broken MacBook screen look like?" and especially "How much does it cost to fix a MacBook screen?" Here's a great example of a typical screen repair for a MacBook Air. A crack is clearly visible diagonally across the bottom right corner, with grey areas and white areas surrounding it. There are also multicolored vertical lines throughout the display area, and green inky smears or splotches around the perimeter. It may not initially seem like the screen is cracked, because the LCD panel is still smooth to the touch, but the internal part of the LCD can be damaged very easily from rough handling, drops, or closing the lid of the laptop on an object, such as a pair of earbuds. This LCD screen is definitely broken. Now that we've diagnosed the issue, the customer sends their computer in to us for repair (using plenty of bubble wrap!).

A1398 MacBook Pro Retina Cracked Screen Repair

MacBook Screen Flickers and Lines Appear When Moved

Image
Sometimes, when an LCD is damaged, it can behave strangely. On this 13 inch MacBook Pro screen, horizontal and vertical lines appear and disappear, and the image on screen fades in and out as the display is moved back and forth on its hinge. A dark grey cloud appears to cover the screen from the left side, and the right side of the image is blown out white. Definitely not the way you expect a MacBook to work. You might expect that the problem is located in the hinge, but it's much more likely to be a bad LCD, not the LVDS cable. With a new LCD panel installed under the glass, the laptop will work normally at any angle. Do you need your MacBook Pro display repaired? We offer both LCD and Glass replacements for MacBook Pros.

Badly Broken Screen on MacBook Pro Retina A1398

Image
This MacBook Screen was hit pretty hard to the front of the screen.

The glass covering the screen is also damaged with a deep gouge, you can see light coming through from the backlight behind it.

MacBook Pro 2008 Unibody A1278 Broken Screen Repair

Image
The funky black and white pattern on this MacBook Pro's screen may remind you of an ink blot test. To us, it looks like a clear impact to the front of the screen, perhaps from closing the laptop lid on an object. The hit to the center of the display must not have been very hard, because the glass on the front of the screen is ok. As you can see from the distorted image, however, the LCD panel was damaged and needs to be replaced. On this A1278 "split bottom" model of MacBook Pro, we are able to replace just the broken LCD, saving the customer some money over a full display replacement.

MacBook Air Screen Cracked By Itself

Image
So your MacBook Air screen cracked? This issue is not uncommon. You can find accounts of the MacBook screen cracking by itself on Apple's own forums as well as MacRumors , and others. A crack is only formed by some sort of force, but the amount of force and the type of force that causes a crack can vary a lot. On some models only a little bit of force is required if applied just right to crack the LCD panel of the Mac. The models that seem to crack the most with the least amount of force are the original MacBooks (white and black models), and the MacBook Air series. While both of these models still require some sort of trauma to crack the screen, in our experience they require less trauma to crack on average than the MacBook Pro line of laptops. Sometimes when the computer comes in we can see where the impact point was that caused the damage to the LCD, other times, it does appear the screen started to crack from a kind of twisting motion. On some model computers, including the...
