If you got your mac late 2008, shouldn't it still be under warranty? It's still less than a year old.

Maybe he shattered the "glass" screen.. Sorry to tell you but I think only Apple will be able to fix your problem (kahit ang LCD lang). The price will be pretty high because they'll replace the whole display panel.

cracked LCD monitors are not covered by the warranty mainly because these monitors will only crack because of some user error

yup i went to mac care and told me that its not covered by the warranty. the main LCD is broken not the protective glass. cant see any image, its total damaged tlga. mac care told me that the LED bright LCD cost 32k++ yes it under warranty. mac was bought last november 9.

is it possible you could share how the LCD came to be broken? Just wondering because the protective glass is still intact...

Your most cost efficient option is to just really use an external LCD. Treat it as if your Macbook was transformed into an iMac so you won't feel bad. Use an external keyboard and mouse too to complete the desktop feel. Bonus is if you have to present anything using a multimedia projector, you could still unplug and bring along the macbook (with the VGA adaptor).

Otherwise, you really have to pay the expensive price for the replacement. It's best that Apple replace it so all the rest of the warranty is still preserved, and you can still extend it with AppleCare. Try to see how much it will take if you get it replaced at Apple Stores in the US (might have a slightly lower price, but in dollars; hopefully through a friend/relative that will travel 2 way to the US).

Add: This is a long shot, but maybe worth the effort. Try knowing the manufacturer and country of the broken part (Samsung? Made in Korea?). Then try getting a contact or insider in that company to allow you to buy one. This will really be a special pakiusap since I bet the company has a contract with Apple and does not allow direct selling to consumers.

how did your LCD broken?

btw, I was putting some stamps using a stamp pad in the receipts i'm working. I fogot that my macbook was underneath, slight pressure lang pero the display gone wild.. I needed to reboot the computer... Medyo kinabahan ako nun...


Presently, my macbook is ok..

LP133WX2-TLC1
LP133WX2-TLC2
