Posted March 3, 2015 Recently my mac just died. The day right after my birthday... It was dropped. When I opened it up, almost all of the pixels became a defective mess. Part of the screen was bent too, so the computer couldn't close properly. Can my computer be fixed?

Posted March 3, 2015 Is just the monitor damaged? Does the rest of it work? If so, then you can just replace the monitor/monitor housing -- although it's probably not worthwhile.

Posted March 3, 2015 I would say that the monitor is just damaged itself.Well, assuming the monitor-housing isn't damaged then you can just replace the display. If the housing is damaged -- well, then replacing it would depend on if the computer-housing is also damaged.

Posted March 3, 2015 I would say that the monitor is just damaged itself. If you feel fine doing the repair yourself I would look up how to do it and then think about it. You can buy the screen for cheap (compared to paying apple) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 3, 2015 you could take it apart and sell the parts separately, use the moeny to help buying a new gaming laptop or a chromebook and a desktop PC. Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger, forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart. -Jim Hensen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 3, 2015 Well to get another "good" retina display cheap from China is gonna be hard. Your best bet is going to Apple to repair it. Or doing it yourself and spending 500 bucks on the monitor. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Retina+Display+Late+2013+Display+Assembly+Replacement/23392 http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-Retina-Display-Assembly/dp/B00B37XSOE#customerReviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 5, 2015 In the end I just plugged an HDMI cable into the mac and a monitor. It works just fine. you could jus go to the nearest apple store and ask them what the fix would cost, and then consider if it's worth it to you, it's still a very capable machine so i think it's worth it #killedmywife #howtomakebombs #vgamasterrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
