Macbook screen repair

Anyone had it done lately? How much I should expect to pay? Trying to minimise the shock.

My F* cat, out of the blue, jumped on me while I was lying on the sofa with the laptop on my lap and bit the corner of the screen, I quickly removed him but it was too late:( There is a small crack and the computer is turning on but the screen display nothing.

I’m so angry. I’m super careful with my things, never had a cracked screen before, not even on my phone.

And now also need to find time to take the machine to repair / collect etc, all during working hours, what a pita.

Try iSmash. Prices should be in their website. I had iPhone screens replaced by them. Price was fair and service good.

I had mine done in September last year and it was £429 with apple. I found them to be marginally cheaper than other places and it came with a warranty.
You can also get a courier service for it so you don't have to go in & out the store once it's been fixed.

thank you both

ismash only do screen phone and laptop battery as per my research

booked with apple this afternoon, the bite mark is so tiny but the screen will not work:(

preparing to part with my cash;(

I don’t know why I bother with apple, a cheap laptop screen would not get damaged like that

also I don’t understand how ppl can still use shattered phone screens but the laptop couldn’t take a little scratch?

Apple initially quoted me 650 + 80 secure courier both ways - bearing in mind it could be more and it would take 2 weeks minimum😬

The apple guy then reccomended me an independent shop - 380 ready in two days!

Since my laptop is unusable atm I went with the independent guy and will pay upon collection providing all is good

Bloody cat, I hate him right now

Can you sue the cat?

Cut off his Dreamies allowance until it’s repaid.
