Long story short, I have a spiderweb crack on my 15.2' Aluminum Powerbook display, my warranty is expired so i figure if i go to the apple store it would be horribly expensive. I found a site www.powerbookresq.com for 670$ they will overnight ship, replace screen, overnight ship back. I found screens online for much more expensive.



what do you guys think? what should I do



Thanks.

    Apple doesn't replace LCD screens, I am pretty sure if a screen is busted like that they just replace the whole computer. Mind you, you could still just hook it up to an external monitor and run it in clamshell mode.

    yea i have an external its just kind of annoying having a spiderweb on the upper left of the screen, especially when i want to lay in bed with the notebook and chat or whatever.



    www.powerbookresq.com seems like my only option, or i can just save up for a new macbook pro

    Actually, i sent my computer in because of big spots on the screen and a few dead pixles and they just replaced the screen, i was given the same computer back.
