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.

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. The cost came to only $195 including shipping. Do you need your MacBook Pro display repaired? We offer both LCD and Glass replacements for MacBook Pros.

Image

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...

13 inch MacBook Pro Non-Retina and Retina with Cracked Screens and 11 and 13 inch MacBook Air LCD Replacements

Image
This cracked screen above looks pretty bad, with the horizontal and vertical colored lines and "shatter" image covering most of the screen. This type of cracking is common when the computer is closed on a small object like headphones. But we say this Mac was lucky, because the glass panel on the front of the display is totally intact. You might notice that there is a plastic case on this laptop. Yep, screens can be damaged even if the laptop has a case! For these Non-Retina models, the glass and LCD screen are separate parts. This 13 inch MacBook Pro A1278 was able to be repaired in under 24 hours for under $200. The newer Retina version 13 inch MacBook Pro has a thinner bezel around the LCD panel in the display, and doesn't have the silver "MacBook Pro" branding at the bottom of the screen. Another easy way to tell the Retina models apart from the older unibody MacBook Pros is to look for the DVD slot on the side of the computer. The newer models do not h...

There are multicolored vertical white and rainbow stripes covering the right side of the screen. If you look closer, you will see the jagged purple line in the bottom corner. It's likely this MacBook Air A1466 was damaged along the bottom right, under the bezel. It might have gotten pinched too hard there while it was being moved, or...
