It doesn’t matter how old your Mac is or how small its screen, we can repair it…

We got an email from Julia in New York City a couple of weeks ago about her broken screen on her 12-inch Powerbook G4. She found our website on Google and decided to send us an email to inquire about how much it would be to replace her screen. We emailed her back and explained that for older Macs, sometimes it is more affordable to replace a broken screen with a used (but in perfect condition) screen. In her case, it was a lot cheaper to use a used screen. S

We scheduled the repair for today in New York City and we met at the Starbucks on 35th and 8th. 30 minutes later, her 12-inch Powerbook G4 was fixed and she could finally get back to doing work on it!

Hopefully you’re more careful with your Macbook AFTER the repair than before it…

We got a call yesterday from Tim at Temple University. He had called us last September about the broken screen on his 2008 white Macbook. He had his cash together, and wanted to go through with the repair. He told us that he broke his computer by throwing it into his mesh gym bag and knocking it around with some books inside. Definitely a recipe for disaster.

We met him at the Laptop Lounge of the SAC (after he got lost for 10 minutes) and his Macbook was repaired in 30 minutes. He was thrilled to say the least.

Ohhh, Ceciiilia. You’re breaking…

…your computer screen when it falls from the desk. Apologies – that may be the worst reference to a Simon and Garfunkel song in the history of CrackedMacScreen. And apologies to Cecilia for beginning our post like this. Moving on. Cecilia gave us a call last week looking for someone to service her broken Macbook Pro screen. As the intro tried to convey, Cecilia had accidentally knocked her laptop off the side of her desk. Seconds later she opened it up to find a shattered screen.

After several Internet searches, she finally found a company that was local, could repair her computer screen in less than an hour and would charge much less than the Apple Store.  She called shortly after and we arranged a time to meet at the Escondido Kalmia Public Library.  Within forty-five minutes we had Cecila and her newly repaired Macbook Pro screen on their way.

Root Beer Happens…

No, we know what you’re thinking – the culprit in this case was not spilled root beer. Rather, it was a bottle of root beer. We got a call from Krista last night saying her son had a smashed Macbook screen. The incident occurred days ago when the family left their home in the care of the cleaning lady. Before they left the Macbook was fine, the bottle of root beer was on the shelf and the cleaning lady had just arrived. After they returned the Macbook screen was broken, the bottle of root beer was on the desk and the cleaning lady had just left.

Fortunately, a friend had heard of a service that repairs cracked computer screens. Krista gave us a call and we were able to fix her son’s laptop screen the next day. To all our fellow Macbook users out there, make sure your root beer bottles are level with or below your Macbooks. As we learned here, unfortunately, root beer doesn’t float.

We’ll come and fix your Macbook while you work…

Deborah works at Temple University and her daughter broke her Macbook a few months ago. She emailed us after seeing one of our flyers on Temple’s campus. She told us that she wouldn’t be able to get the repair done until today, and wondered when we could come “pick up the computer”. We explained that we do repairs right in front of you, which she loved.

We met her at her office at Temple and had her daughter’s computer fixed in 30 minutes. She didn’t even have to take a lunch break!
