my sons laptop screen is bad. left hand side and bottom side of screen has 2" band of lines. he did something to it (slammed it or hit it or something) so the display is pretty much unusable. it's out of warranty and apple wants $475 to fix it. i can't see dumping that much money into a 2013 macbook.
let me know if anybody has had any experience or success with this. thanks!

How's it work if you plug it into a Monitor?
bwahahaha! i'll be sure to livestream it so you can witness my total success or spectacular failure. either way, i'm sure there will be plenty of swear words, tools thrown.
@blueshead
haven't tried the external yet. i was planning on doing that before i started brain surgery on this thing.
i could buy the whole display piece but that's like $300. figured if i could do this for less than 1/2 of that and at a fraction of what apple wants to charge me, it might be worth a shot.
Guys both on my air book and ipad says Ive used 9gig of memory where I have only 2.5 gig oh photos and videos.
What is this 9 gig being used up with? And where can I delete it to reclaim the 9 gig?
Many xxx's in advance my lovelies

ps told ya so
i use onyx to clean up stuff and make free space. does a pretty good job and i'm usually able to reclaim 10G of stuff when i'm running low.
Screen: I was going to say do the screen assembly as a while, but you seem to have that in mind. Print out the procedure, tape the screws to the relevant location on the picture.
stuff like this is worrying, but once broken down in to little steps, it's nae so bad
