Macbook pro Retina display (fucked)

Dropped my Macbook Pro and unfortunately it landed on the lid and fucked a section of the display. Still usable but i need it replaced. Bought it late last year and its a 13 inch model....ive had a look on tinter web but can't find any from UK suppliers? The ones from the US are nearly 700 dollars....fuck me!!

 

Anybody have any ideas where I could find one 'relatively' cheap?

 

Thanks in advance.

My advice would be to sell it, then buy a refurb from Apple or if you know anyone going to the USA they can buy you a refurb from there. 

 

Shame you didn't have home insurance that covered accidents. You might want to get that in case it happens again........

 

Otherwise I think you're fooked. 

 

Not recommending these as I've never used them, but they will give you a quote I guess.

Cheers Dave,

 

Rang up the insurance company yesterday and they are ringing me on monday to tell me if its covered. Fucking joke, great product ruined by the fact its so unfixable if anything does go wrong.

Just from experience, I had to claim for a laptop years ago. Never tell them you were doing work on it at the time. It's not covered. I told them I was playing a game, if they can worm their way out of paying, they will.

Ive just had mine repaired (Ive got the 2012 15" retina display model).

 

I phoned around the computer shops in liverpool and nobody had a screen in stock except a place in Speke called the book yard. I got a mint condition factory second screen there for £340, which was less than half the price Apple wanted (£690 just for the part!)

I ordered something similar from the Bookyard John, 480 quid for a 13inch retina for a late 2013 Pro. Luckily the insurance company rang up and told me it was covered with a 100 quid excess, result. I couldn't believe how hard it actually was to find the part. Moral of the story is don't drop the fucker!
