Garrett has been without the use of his 13-inch Unibody Macbook for the last two months. He told us that he had no idea how the LCD of his computer got broken. He admitted that he was out late the night before, opened up his computer the next morning, and saw the damage. He then took it to Springboard Media and Bundy Computer, and both places told him that it would be $100 just to look at the computer.
Garrett decided that he would just use his iPhone, netbook, and larger Windows laptop. He was fine with this setup, but when he saw our Septa train ad at Temple University, he went on his iPhone and checked out our website. He called us up, learned about the process, and wanted the repair done as soon as possible.
We met him at his apartment in Olde City, and Garrett thought it would be easier to do a pickup/dropoff instead of the repair in his home. He has two dogs and it isn’t exactly the best environment to make sure that no dust particles get behind the glass during the repair. So we picked up his Macbook, and dropped it off to him while he was out at Triumph Brewery a few hours later. Hopefully Garrett and his computer made it home safe!

Rae-Ann saw our Septa train ad at Temple University within a week of her cracked the LCD on her white 13-inch Macbook. The crack wasn’t really that bad but she knew from everyone’s stories online that it would get worse. She didn’t want to take the chance that she wouldn’t be able to use her Macbook some day, so she researched us, read the Repair Blog, and decided to give us a call tonight.
We met her in about 45 minutes at her apartment in Clifton Heights, and while watching Family Guy we replaced her damaged LCD. The crack was barely noticeable, but it definitely would have gotten worse. Better safe than sorry!

Asia called us up last night after breaking the screen on her 13-inch Macbook. She had seen our flyers on Temple’s campus, but didn’t have time to find one since it was 11:45pm when she called. So she Googled “Macbook screen repair Philadelphia” and “Temple Macbook repair”, and we popped up on both searches. We scheduled the repair for today at 11am.
We met up at the laptop lounge of the SAC, and her white Macbook’s LCD screen was replaced in about 30 minutes.

Melissa called us a few months ago about the crack that had developed on the glass cover of her 13-inch Unibody Macbook. We explained that it would be $299 to replace her cracked glass, and she loved the price because she had been quoted $849 at the Apple Store, but she didn’t have the money at the time. Four months later, she called us back and told us that she was ready for the repair.
We ordered her replacement glass, and met her on Temple’s campus. Because the repair is a lot more involved, we had to pick up her computer and deliver it to her apartment later that day. Being in a Starbucks or a library isn’t the best environment to make sure no little pieces of dust get behind the glass. Believe us, it’s better that way!
2 hours later, Melissa’s Macbook was back to normal, and her glass was perfect!
[The first picture below doesn't really show the crack well, but it went from the middle of the screen on the left side to the iSight camera. A chunk of glass was missing from the iSight area. Really bad!]

Daniel emailed us last week about his 14.1-inch iBook G4 that had a completely broken screen. He had actually seen our flyer on Temple’s campus back in September, but he didn’t have the money saved up for a repair until now. We told him that it would be $299 to replace the screen on his 14.1-inch iBook and he was thrilled because he had been quoted more than $500 from shops in the Philadelphia area that would have had to have his computer for at least a week.
We met him at his dorm at the Edge on Temple’s campus and his iBook was repaired in about 30 minutes. He told us that he had left his iBook in his dorm with the door open and when he came back in his dorm room, the computer was on the floor. The Ghost of the Edge? Daniel isn’t sure, but one thing he’s sure of is that he’s going to take better care of his iBook in the future and recommend CrackedMacScreen.com to all of his friends with Macs.
