How old is your Macbook Pro? Do you have Applecare?
In all likelihood, you'll have to take it to Apple to get repaired. Expect to be out of a laptop for a couple weeks.

If it's almost one year old, then it might be covered under warranty. If not, then you'll want to get yourself AppleCare as it'll be much cheaper than shelling out for a new screen
But if it's been more than a year, then that means you don't qualify for Applecare, and that unfortunately means you'll have to shell out cash to get it fixed.

I mean if you woke up one morning and there was a small crack on the screen due to a manufacturing defect. Who knows, maybe heat or a slight battery bulge could have caused a crack if the screen wasn't made properly.
But if the OP did something to crack the screen, then yea, you're right, warranty most likely will not cover it

gotcha...
for the price of a new screen, id hook it into a large monitor and make it a "desktop"
and just pony up for a new one, or get a dell with some completecare (if your into breaking things
) heheShop Amazon
