Option 1
Glass-only repair
Often not practical
On many modern MacBooks, the glass, LCD, backlight, and housing are integrated into a single display assembly.
This means glass-only repairs are often not practical or economical.

MacBook Screen Repair vs Display Assembly Replacement
This is one of the most common areas of confusion. We'll explain the most appropriate option for your specific MacBook model.
Option 2
Display assembly replacement
Usually the most reliableFrom $399
In many cases, replacing the complete display assembly provides the most reliable repair outcome.
Benefits include:
- Restored display quality
- Restored brightness
- Correct fitment
- Reduced risk of future display issues
Can a Cracked MacBook Screen Get Worse?
Yes.
Small cracks can spread over time and may eventually affect:
- Display quality
- Screen visibility
- Overall usability
Repairing the issue early may help prevent further deterioration.
Is It the Screen, or Something Else?
Diagnosis comes first.
Not every display issue is caused by impact damage. Before recommending repairs we check the display condition, display cables, backlight operation, the graphics system and any liquid damage.
This helps ensure repairs are targeted at the actual fault.
Is Your MacBook Worth Repairing?
In many cases, yes.
Repair is often worthwhile when:
- The MacBook still performs well
- The device meets your needs
- The damage is limited to the display
- Repair costs are significantly lower than replacement
- The device is relatively modern
Replacement may be worth considering when:
- Multiple major faults are present
- Significant liquid damage exists
- Repair costs approach replacement value
- The device no longer meets your requirements
If we believe replacement offers better value, we'll tell you. See our refurbished MacBooks.
