Cracked MacBook Screen Repair in Burlingame and Saratoga
Dropped your MacBook, or closed the lid on something? A cracked screen usually gets worse: lines, black spots and flicker can spread across the display. We keep most MacBook screens in stock, so most screen replacements are done the same day or by the next day, and every repair starts with a free estimate.
What should I do right after cracking the screen?
- Back up your files now while the Mac still works. If you can’t see the screen, connect an external monitor or TV to use it and run the backup.
- Don’t press on the cracked area and close the lid gently. Pressure can spread the damage.
- Don’t pick at loose glass. If pieces are coming off, stop using the Mac and bring it in.
- Bring it to one of our stores as soon as you can.
How do you repair a cracked MacBook screen?
- Test the Mac with an external display first, to confirm the problem is the screen and not the logic board.
- Replace the entire display assembly, not just the glass.
- Let you choose a new or a used screen. Most MacBook screen replacements cost $350 to $860, depending on the model and the screen you choose.
- Keep most screens in stock, so most repairs are done the same day or by the next day.
- Give you a free estimate before any work, so you decide whether the repair is worth it.
How can I tell if my MacBook screen needs replacing?
Cracks or chips in the glass, lines across the screen, black or ink-like spots, flickering, a dim or uneven backlight, or a black screen while the Mac is clearly on (it makes sounds, or works on an external monitor).
