Broken Screen on MBP Question

Hey all, Don't post here much...or at all but anyway I just got a question about something.

Recently I dropped my MBP and the screen broke/cracked whatever you wanna call it.

After going to Apple and being told it would cost $1250 to be replaced, I started looking for an alternative because I don't have that money.

I was wondering if I just needed the LCD to be replaced or what because I don't want to buy the wrong thing.

Here is a picture.



-Thanks

Ouch! You might try these vendors:

I was once referred to techrestore by a colleague when my computer did a 4 foot drop off of the table, and my screen looked like yours. I ended up scrapping the computer (it was old) and replacing with a new one.

I see, thanks for those links.

Is that basically the same thing as those two mentioned?

I believe the vendors to whom I posted the link include the labor. I would presume you could just buy the broken LCD and try swapping it out yourself.

Yes, that would be the screen needed for a 15.4 inch MBP.

How much do you think I get for it if I sold it with the broken screen?
