Colton Kelly
give it water...lots of it. seems dehydrated from the pic...pour it all over
Noah Cruz
the screen digitizer is damaged. you sure you didnt drop it?
Jack Hall
>inb4 2 billion buttfucks tell you how to ruin your computer
Blake Perez
That is a crack...
Owen Gomez
Was it like this the moment you opened it or did it go from normal screen to this without being touched?
Dominic Howard
Digitizer's fucked. $800 replacement
Julian Morgan
90% sure thats a crack, looks neat tho
Jacob Ramirez
I've chucked it on my bed but apart from that no, Also how much will this cost to fix?
Nicholas Lewis
You obviously either dropped the laptop, or stepped on it causing the screen to fuck up.
Have fun being liable for the repair, or purchase of a new one. As I assume you signed some kind of contract with your school making you liable if you fuck it up.
Carson Foster
No cracks I've checked all over
Gavin Young
rip then
Ryan Powell
why would you "chuck" a computer?
Cameron Rogers
Around $300 to $400, you might be able to reduce the cost to like $250 if you can buy a screen online from like Amazon, and replace it yourself.
Either way you're out a fuck ton of money kek.
Evan Morales
Like a I just put the USB in and it went to shit
David Ortiz
no wonder its a fucking mac
Jaxson Torres
Tell us the real story op, this is bullshit, timestampless bullshit even
Cameron Martin
So you were definitely watching the screen as it went haywire?
Christopher Gray
im lazy af and can't be bothered to place down
Aiden Walker
Plugging a printer into a Macbook wouldn't fuck the screen up. You did something to that laptop to fuck it up aside from plugging something into a USB.
Have fun explaining that one to school administration faggot.
Jason Price
idiot
Jace Lewis
You sure you didn't drop it
Cooper Reyes
Your laziness just lost you $1000 kek.
Jackson Jones
then your're like a child that shouldn't hold anything fragile.
Jonathan Fisher

It's not a bug, it's a feature
Jonathan Clark
retard, anything apple is going to be fragile as fuck. but there is something that could have been done, you could have been careful with it.
Gavin Evans
You dipshit, that's a cracked LCD panel. You damaged it by bending, hitting, or dropping it. You're not fooling anyone.
Brandon Smith
MOVs on the USB port prevent high voltage from fucking up your computer.
What I see in the photo is a cracked LCD screen. You can get a replacement from china on ebay for $50~$80, you will need a heat gun to remove the screen bezel, and open up the bottom part to remove the panel wiring, and then connect the new screen, and don't bother with that 3M tape bullshit, use thin gorilla tape.
Andrew Brown
You're a fucking moron, both for owning that piece of shit and throwing it around
Brayden Phillips
Thanks alot, hopefully I can fix this bullshit in the next few weeks,
Peace out faggots thanks for the help
Bentley Walker
The replacement probably won't be as high quality if you're just getting a cheap one
Xavier Taylor
All of Apples parts come from China, and really isn't that expensive before the markups. You just need to know the obscured part number.
Jace Clark
That's not a crack, you fucked up by throwing it around. You got the wires inside to loosen up and shift so no one of the wires is fucked up causing your screen to look like that. Good job asshole
Christopher Mitchell
>Not in America Found your problem op
Juan Garcia
Not even American but I keked
Seriously though OP Just tell them the story that you told us and deny any responsibility. It will work
Leo Walker
Because his parents bought him it and he hasn't yet learned the value of money
Christopher Garcia
>I've chucked it on my bed >I've thrown around an 800 dollar piece of hardware like a backpack
are you retarded
Brody Richardson
They know jackshit about tech, they will most likely think the USB fucked it up
Julian Thomas
Ah, well there's your first problem
>Mac
Andrew Morales
>mac
There's your issue.
Jaxon Jackson
Exactly. You can bullshit your way out of anything
Nicholas Cook
>school computer
Hunter Morgan
Is it cold where you at. Ive seen it bust because of the cold. Or you shut it on a pen left on keyboard.
Logan Jenkins
You can get a "reasonable" refurbished laptop for that
Aiden Cooper
I live in Britain and its hot as fuck atm
Lucas Fisher
>Also how much will this cost to fix? I work at an apple service centre. It will run you about tree fiddy
Charles White
Doesn't necessarily mean it belongs to the school, could just be his personal schoolwork computer.
My sister bought her own laptop that she refers to as her school computer, because she does nothing but school related work on it.
Charles Mitchell
I'll put my money on, you using too much force ripping it open from the top left corner and bent the shit out of it, to the point where you fractured the Black lighting. Shit son, you had to have cranked down on that thing hard. Look the crack starts at the bottom left almost where the joint is for the screen. Uh, get some. That shits toast.
Benjamin Allen
Dude one time i had a little binder with a hard little plastic ring on it and the outside of the laptop was pressed against it, i threw my back down and it shattered the screen. It literally cost 50 dollars
