If the laptop is "Vintage", then an Apple Authorized Service Provider can still repair the laptop as long as the necessary part(s) are still available from Apple. This assumes the AASP performs the repair themselves and doesn't mail the laptop to Apple for the repair. I don't think a "Vintage" laptop can be mailed to Apple for repair.


Otherwise you can try finding another AASP or you may have to find an independent repair shop that knows how to repair Apple laptops and purchase a used or refurbished display assembly.
