MacBook Pro Screen Replacement

With each model of Apple’s MacBook computer series that is released, components of the device change. And thus, so do the repair services. The same is true of other leading brands, which can be frustrating for consumers. But never fear – CPR Cell Phone Repair is here to help! In this article, we’ll discuss how to replace screens on MacBook Pro models.

MacBook Screen Replacement Cost

Depending on the generation of MacBook Pro you own, the cost of replacing the screen could differ drastically. Research your MacBook Pro repair options to find the solution that best fits your budget.

Official Apple Store Cost

If you encounter a cracked screen that needs to be replaced on your MacBook Pro, you may be inclined to head straight to the closest official Apple Store. And while the Apple experts obviously know what they are doing, be prepared to pay a pretty penny. If you purchased AppleCare+ for your MacBook Pro, then you are covered for “up to two incidents of accidental damage.” If your initial warranty expired and you failed to purchase AppleCare+, brace yourself for a hefty bill.

DIY Cost

Think you’re adept enough to tackle a MacBook Pro screen replacement yourself? There are some DIY kits available for purchase from third-party providers. However, if you over-estimate your dexterousness, you could end up inflicting more damage on your device, costing you more in the long run.

But if you’re ready to give it a go, these MacBook Pro screen replacement kits can be found on Amazon, eBay, and other retailers and run from $300 – $700 depending on the seller.  They should include all tools and parts necessary to complete the replacement.
