Smashed Screen On MacBookPro

Um so a staple was on my keyboard when I closed my Mac and went through the screen and smashed it. It now doesn’t work at all. Just wondering whether I should she apple or go to a local laptop fixer?


Thanks 😁

If the machine is not obsolete, then taking it to a "fixit shop" is not a good idea. Apple will not service the machine ever again, if you do that. Apple will not service a model that is obsolete: Vintage and obsolete products.


Otherwise, only Apple will have Apple parts, so you are wise to take it an Apple Store for repair.
