I cracked my macbook’s screen. What do I do?

The bottom right part got cracked by me by dropping it around 3 ft off of my table. It’s not much, but enough so that the entire bottom screen is glitching out. I’m wondering on what to do, since I heard display replacement was going to be very difficult or very expensive.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13

You take it in for an assessment—


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment


Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—

If you have AppleCare+ it will cover a large portion of accidental damage.

AppleCare+ (similar for iPhone and iPad, each incident of accidental damage) for Mac will carry its own price tag. Screen damage or “external enclosure damage” will run $99 per incident, while other damage, including water damage, will run $299. Users receive coverage of two incidents under AppleCare+, and after the two incidents have been used up, out-of-warratny replacement rates will apply.
