[QUOTE="michaelm95, post: 1753088, member: 391140"] I contacted Apple last night, they were surprisingly unhelpful. Given that I live in Ireland all they do is refer me to third party 'authorised' technicians. I have emailed several of them; some have not replied and those that have said that the part is not available yet. It looks like I'll be waiting a few months minimum before this gets resolved and that it will cost me €600 if I'm lucky, maybe €400 if I gamble and do it myself. Can anyone here who has fixed a mac assembly tell me if the replacement screen part comes as just the LCD, or does it come with the metallic shell casing and glass as well. I imagine the repair will be significantly more difficult if the LCD comes alone given how easily it is damaged. Whenever I used to repair iPhones, fixing the iPhone 3GS LCD was significantly more risky then later models as the LCD had to be separated from the Glass and replaced. From iPhone 4 onwards, the LCD and Glass Touch screen assembly was all one part. More expensive for the consumer but much easier for the repairer [/QUOTE]
