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, I called apple france the next day and explained the situation. it was a little tricky because my MBP is now a month or so out of warranty, however it was still under warranty at the date when I handed it over for repair. so fortunately I had documentation to prove that. after a lengthy conversation and being put on hold a couple of times, the consultant told me that they would need to speak with the technician that had assessed the machine. if the technician would verify that there were no signs of abuse on the computer, they"d replace the display under warranty. so they put me on hold again and called the repair centre. when they got back to me, the confirmed that whatever happened to my display was not the result of any damage accidental or otherwise, and they would authorise repair under warranty.
Your computer suffered some damage, or even just stopped working on its own, and now you need to have the screen replaced so you can get back to working on your MacBook. Calling Apple and other MacBook repair shops, you find the price for a screen replacement is close to the cost of buying a replacement computer.
Apple usually picks bleeding edge technology for their MacBooks, which means a higher component level cost. Combine this expensive component cost with Apple’s practice of combining multiple components together into an assembly when offering a repair. Now you have multiple expensive components that make up your even more expensive display assembly.
I offer MacBook screen repair at the lowest possible price by replacing just the broken component rather than the entire display assembly. If the entire display assembly needs to be replaced on your MacBook, I also offer that service at the lowest price I can offer.
I offer component-level repair of displays for most models. This means I can replace just the cracked LCD panel in your MacBook instead of having to replace the entire display assembly.
I offer MacBook screen repair for all MacBook Air models from 2010 through the new M1 2020 A2337 model. You can submit a quote request below if you are not sure what model you have.
I offer MacBook screen repair for all MacBook Pro models from 2009 through the new M series model. You can submit a quote request below if you are not sure what model you have.
I understand how frustrating having a broken laptop can be, so I have created my nationwide repair service with your ease in mind. You will see it is an easy process indeed.
I’ll take care of your Mac and get it back up and running as quickly as possible. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the entire process with email updates. When the repair is complete, I will send you an invoice via email. I use Square for my invoices, so you can pay with any major credit card.
I am a full-service repair shop, specializing in component-level repair. This means we offer services that most shops will not offer because of the difficulty level. A lot of Apple repair shops will repair computers by replacing entire assemblies. For example, if you have a cracked LCD panel and your MacBook but your glass and aluminum lid are fine, a lot of shops will replace the entire top screen assembly (lid, glass, isight camera, LCD, LVDS cable, hinges, etc) rather than just replacing the bad LCD panel. We work hard to replace just the broken components, making our services noticeably less expensive than most shops.
I got into the screen repair business when the White and Black MacBook were first released. Back in 2006, Apple came out with the design featuring white and black MacBooks. There were not a lot of shops that were offering LCD replacement on the MacBook computers for less than $350. We started offering the repair at $180 with our unparalleled 24-hour turnaround. Now there are a lot of shops offering repair services for cracked glass and broken LCDs on the MacBooks, but we continue to be one of the best quality repair shops in the nation. Over the years of offering this repair, we have found the best sources for replacement LCDs, honed our techniques of removing the glass (when necessary) without causing damage to the rubber trim that surrounds the glass, and found the best adhesive for installing the new components. We know it is important for you to get your computer back ASAP. For that reason, we offer a 24-hour turnaround on our repairs. We will have the computer repaired and shipped back to you/ready for pick up within 1 day of receiving your MacBook for repair.
No matter what is wrong with your MacBook screen, I can fix it! If you are unsure of the issue on your MacBook, please take a couple of pictures showing the damage and email them to me. We will review them and get back to you with exactly what you need to get the computer repaired.
Nathan did a great job on my computer! I had a 2020 M1 MacBook with a cracked screen. Other repair shops were charing me 500+ because they said the entire top portion of the screen had to be replaced. Nathan was able to only repair the screen for a lot cheaper and it was shipped and given back to me within a week! Amazing service, will definitely refer to friends and family.
Super fast, professional service at a great price! I messed up the LED on my older MacBook Air. It still works great and I don"t need it for anything other than basic browsing/email, so I was not wanting to replace it if it could be repaired. I shopped around locally and could not find anything that seemed worth it. But Nathan popped up on my search results and I decided to give it a shot even though I"d have to mail my laptop off to Michigan and hope for the best. From the get go, the communication was excellent and he offered several options at different price points with realistic assessments of what I could expect. I picked the new LED option knowing I would likely end up with a bright spot on my screen where the case was dented. Nathan mailed me a laptop box, I returned it, he completed the repair, and then he mailed it back with tracking. The whole process only took a couple of weeks, most of that being transit time (which I expected). The repair is amazing--the bright spot ended up being tiny and if anything Nathan led me to believe it would be much worse when he offered this option. I could not be happier with the service I received! If I ever mess up another computer (hopefully not lol), I will absolutely be sending it here to be repaired. Thanks!
I cracked my spiffy new Macbook Air screen when I shut it, not realizing part of the charger cord was on the keyboard, and it immediately broke (note: be *really* careful closing the Airs!! A single grain of rice can kill your screen).
After waiting a week for an Apple Store appointment, Apple quoted $500 to repair and no guesstimated turnaround time as they"d "have to order the screen and those are backlogged." Cool. (Also, get AppleCare+ if you"re prone to shutting your laptop recklessly)
I had some hesitation about blindly mailing my laptop to a stranger - especially because my screen"s crack gave me no ability to say, close my iMessage or Chrome tabs or lock access to my iCloud and photos - but Nathan turned out to be the real deal!
I contacted Nathan after my computer slipped off my desk and onto the floor causing my screen to go almost half white. After sending an inquiry via his website, I heard back from him very quickly letting me know what the problem was (LCD panel) and how he would fix it. Two days later I received a box in the mail to ship the computer to him. I got an email from him when he received my broken computer and the next day he emailed again to update me on the process and then again to let me know that it was fixed - and had it shipped out the next morning. The communications from Nathan throughout the whole process were stellar. Any question I had were always answered immediately. I highly recommend Nathan, and if I were to need this type of service again, I would feel completely confident in sending any MacBook his way.
Nathan did an amazing job fixing my macbook air. I was quoted over double everywhere else i went and Nathan was quick and emailed me every step of the way. Not to mention, I originally shipped the mail in box to the wrong address and I notified Nathan and he quickly sent one to the correct address at no additional cost. I will definitely be returning here with any problems in the future!!! Cannot thank Nathan enough!!
Nathan was awesome! Was able to help me figure out and fix my problem in a few hours. Professional and very polite. Will definitely be going back with any computer needs in the future.
I run my own IT support business. I mainly focus on PC"s. I support mac but I do not work on the computers that require a glue/heat gun to take apart. So when I had a client who needed his hard drive upgraded on an All-In-One Mac, I called on THESE GUYS!!! And boy were they awesome. I mostly interacted with this "Nathan" person. He was professional and friendly. We are during plague times so he handled the dropoff/pickup of the computer very well. He wore a rag on his face instead of a n95 mask.. but he kept his distance so I was fine. (Nathan, if you read this, that rag is not protecting you. The virus goes RIGHT THROUGH that fabric. Research how N95 masks work) I dropped the computer off on a Wed afternoon and it was ready by late Thursday morning. They were fast and thorough. Good job guys! Thank you so much! I will be taking more of my machines to you when I have work I do not want to do. (:
It is worth repairing your MacBook screen if the cost of the repair is less than the value of your computer. The current MacBook Air has a value of around $700 used, so it is worth repairing the screen with our $299 MacBook screen repair service.
The cost of the repair will depend on the model of the MacBook Pro and the issue present. If you have an A2338 2020 MacBook Pro and you need a new display assembly, that will cost $549. You can view more pricing details on our MacBook Pro services page.
The cost of the repair will depend on your model with a basic range of $179-$429 for the MacBook Air models, and $329-$799 for the MacBook Pro models.
There are options for repairing your MacBook screen yourself, but it is an intermediate to advanced repair that you should only attempt if you are comfortable working on electronics.

Nathan is where it is at. While apple wanted my first child and left kidney to repair my MacBook Pro. Nathan came to the rescue with an unbeatable price.
His staff is also awesome, and combined they can fix anything. He swapped out the glued in battery in my Macbook Pro in a matter of minutes and found that I had a GPU issue that could be fixed under an Apple recall for free.

The law firm Bursor and Fisher filed a class action lawsuit against Apple this week over unusually common screen cracks on M1 MacBooks, reports 9to5Mac. The firm is accusing Apple of knowingly selling laptops with fragile displays that tend to crack under normal use in some cases and then refusing to repair them without charge. Bursor and Fisher is now seeking compensation for all expenses associated with repairs.
While Apple"s latest 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro notebooks based on the M1 system-on-chip received great reviews and made many owners happy on launch, there is also a large number of customers who have experienced unexpected screen cracks and were forced to pay $600 ~ $850 to Apple for repairs. Apple insists that screen cracks were not its fault, but were caused by mishandling or by a small item or particle becoming lodged between the keyboard and screen.
Last week, class action law firm Migliaccio & Rathod LLP said it had begun looking for owners of Apple"s latest MacBooks with cracked LCDs to make "potential legal claims against" the company. Apparently, lawyers from Bursor & Fisher were quicker, so they filed the case 5:21-cv-07109, Almeida v. Apple this week.
"The M1 MacBook is defective, as the screens are extraordinarily fragile, cracking, blacking out, or showing magenta, purple and blue lines and squares, or otherwise ceasing to function altogether," the lawsuit reads.
"Thousands of users from across the globe have reported this issue directly to Apple and on Apple sponsored forums," the lawsuit continues. "Nonetheless, consumers who have attempted to secure replacements or repairs have been rebuffed by Apple, often forced to pay out of pocket upwards of between $600 and $850 for repairs themselves or to secure replacements without Apple’s assistance. Others who have secured repairs or replacements from Apple have quickly experienced the problem reappearing on the repaired or replaced laptop."
Truth to be told, Apple issued a notice on August 27(opens in new tab) asking owners of MacBooks not to use any camera covers, palm rest covers, or keyboard covers with their laptops because "the clearance between the display (screen) and the top case is engineered to tight tolerances [which is why] leaving any material on your display, keyboard, or palm rest might interfere with the display when it"s closed and cause damage to your display."
That plaintiff wants Apple to compensate the cost of repairs for himself and other people with similar problems as well as award "reasonable attorney"s fees and costs." But screen repairs are very costly, just like lawyers in the U.S. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Apple will admit the issue and what the plaintiff and people similarly situated will get from the "Think different" company.
We have found the easiest way to guide you through finding the correct screen for your computer is to find the model number on the bottom of your computer and match it up with the service needed below. If you look at the bottom of your computer you will see small text that will include the model number. If you are having any trouble at all figuring out what service you need, please contact us and we will help!
The supply of these older Unibody MacBook Pro models is pretty constrained. Because the cost of a new screen is so expensive, it actually is not worth repairing with a new display. Therefore, we are currently recommending going with a used display replacement. If you request a quote, we will check to see the current pricing for different grades of used displays, and let you know what the total would be for the repair.
At EliteMacTechs, we specialize in mac screen replacement. We have been repairing Unibody MacBook Pros since they first came out in 2006. We are able to disassemble the computer and offer component-level screen repair. This means you save money and time by going through us instead of the Apple store!

One is to replace just the glass, another to replace just the LCD, and a third to replace both the glass and the LCD.
