    mac book screen repair

    Anyone know where I can get my screen repaired - I dropped it (yes, really) and now about a quarter of the screen does not work.

    Thanks.

    Want to ask, whether the LCD screen in cracked? or

    just the display dont show up, but the LCD panel is fine?

    You can take it to apple authorized service centres.
    Apple - Authorized Service Provider

    Or can take it to Sham Shui Po or Wan chai computer centre to get it fixed.

    Or you can order the OEM LCD panel on Ebay and fix it by yourself. There are lots of DIY guides in internet for guidance.

    from applecare the 13" macbook display is $4xxx.

    if you dont have applecare or dont wish to spend that much i know an apple certified technician i can get you in touch with that charges around $2,000 using oem parts and warranty.

    Just received excellent service from Vertex Pro in Wan Chai computer centre. Welcome to Vertex. Had screen replaced in two hours at a very reasonable price for an old MacBook black.

    It was below $2k and included the casing around the screen as well.
