MacBook Screen Replacement Cost: What Apple Charges

Fixes to try (easiest first)

Try the fixes for dim, black or discolored screens first: brightness, the color profile, and checking cables for external displays. [1]
- Check whether you have AppleCare+
With AppleCare+, damaged screens or external enclosures can be repaired as many times as you need, with a service fee for each repair. [2]
- Use Apple or an Authorized Service Provider
Apple warns that repairs by untrained people or with non-genuine parts may affect the device's safety and function. [1]
