I got a call on my cellphone yesterday from Dan at Philadelphia University. He had dropped his 2.16 Ghz Macbook Pro a week ago and was in desperate need of a repair. His roommate Zach, who had cracked his Macbook back in October, had used us to repair his Macbook Pro. Dan works at King of Prussia Mall, doing valet. He had already taken it to the Apple Store, where they told him that it would be $800 for the repair and that it is “impossible to replace only the LCD”. The Genius told him that he has to get his entire display replaced.
We told him that we could replace the LCD for less than half of what they quoted him, at $349 flat. Dan was thrilled, and scheduled the repair for tonight.
We didn’t get to use the same beer pong table as we did for Zach’s repair, but it went very well and Dan was extremely happy.

We received a call from Zach A. from Philadelphia University last week. He told us that his Macbook Pro was underneath a chair’s leg (why?!) when someone sat on the chair. Obviously, the leg of the chair cracked his screen. It wasn’t a very serious crack (you can barely see it in the center of the picture below), but like a chip in a car’s windshield, it will get worse over time. It was especially inconvenient because Zach is studying industrial design and needs a clean screen for Photoshop.
CrackedMacScreen.com to the rescue! We met him at his apartment, fixed his computer on his 2 game-at-a-time beer pong table, and he was back to using Photoshop in less than 45 minutes.
