Replacement screen for MacBook Pro & MacBook Air

At MacEmergency, we specialise in MacBook screen replacements in London, offering a very fast, inexpensive and reliable service.

If your MacBook screen is cracked, distorted, or completely unresponsive, it’s crucial to understand what may have caused the issue.

Knowing the causes can help prevent future damage and ensure a longer lifespan for your MacBook.

Common Causes of MacBook Screen Damage

1. Accidental Drops and Physical Impact

One of the most common causes of screen damage is accidental impact. A drop from even a short height can lead to cracks, dead pixels, or complete display failure. While MacBooks are known for their durability, the screen is still a vulnerable component.

Solution: Invest in a sturdy case and handle your MacBook with care to minimise the risk of accidental damage.

2. Excessive Pressure

Applying too much pressure on the screen can cause internal damage. This often happens when the MacBook is placed in a tightly packed bag or if heavy objects are stored on top of it.

Signs of Damage:

Distorted colours or lines across the screen
Cracked LCD without external glass damage

Prevention Tip: Use a padded laptop sleeve and avoid placing weight on your MacBook.

3. Liquid Spills

Liquid spills can lead to serious damage, not just to the screen but to other internal components. If liquid seeps into the display, it can cause backlight failure, patches, black spots, or screen flickering.

Immediate Action:

Turn off your MacBook and disconnect power immediately.
Do not attempt to dry it with heat. Seek our professional help immediately: 0207 175 3344

4. Manufacturing Defects and Ageing

Some screen issues arise due to manufacturing defects or the natural ageing of components. Over time, the display backlight or internal connectors may fail, leading to flickering or dim screens.

Signs of Ageing:

Uneven brightness
Persistent screen flickering
Fading colours

How to Prevent Screen Damage in the Future

It helps prevent scratches and minimises the risk of cracks from minor impacts.

Avoid Closing the Lid with Objects on the Keyboard:

Items like pens or headphones can crack the screen when you close the lid.

Regular Maintenance:

Keep your MacBook clean and have it checked by professionals periodically.

My Mac Screen Cracked by Itself – Is This Covered by Warranty?

Apple designs MacBook displays to be durable and reliable, but like any glass surface, they don’t crack on their own. Physical force or impact is required for such damage to occur.

The very structure of glass ensures it won’t break without an external force – whether it’s pressure, impact, or exposure to extreme temperature changes.

Unlike tempered glass used in car windows or cookware, an LCD display cannot spontaneously crack.

It’s important to note that cracks caused by external forces are not covered under warranty, which is reserved for manufacturing defects or issues related to workmanship.

Once your MacBook display is repaired, it will be just as resilient as when it was new.

However, careful handling is essential to prevent future damage.

Mishandling or neglecting proper care may lead to further damage, which won’t be covered under warranty.

Please be aware that warranty claims will not be accepted for any display showing signs of physical fractures or cracks, regardless of their size or location.

Put plainly, MacEmergency do not cover any accidental damage, as the warranty is not equivalent to insurance.

We strongly encourage you to handle your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with the utmost care to avoid such issues.
