MacBook Damaged Screen

dextor03

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro that was dropped recently and the screen is damaged. It's not cracked but the display has moved down about an inch.

I have a couple of questions,

1 - is it hard to replace a screen on a MacBook? I've replaced screens on Laptops before with little difficulty.

2 - any good Mac repair shops that you can recommend? The MacBook is under warrenty but they will not cover the screen damage.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Don't know about manually changing the screen but it cost me €298 if memory serves me right for a new one in compub. I now have a red symbol belonging to the company that made the screen on the left of the screen which can be very annoying. I kept meaning to go back to them with the laptop to ask them why this mark is now on the screen after all the money I spent on getting a new screen.

Re Jofspring. weird to have a red symbol sure it isn't a removable sticker?

Dextor - an inch is an awful lot! is the glass cracked?

No crack on the screen. It's unusual, it looks like the display has been dislodged and has moved down. There is a constant flicker as well. I've attached a monitor to the Laptop and everything on the monitor is fine. Could it be a loose connection?

Ya it seems to be like a sticker but on the inside part of the screen so can't be peeled off but can be seen. Very annoying. I need to get the rubber part on the underneath of the laptop changed (it has warped) so will ask about the screen then.
