Cracked Bezel in Macbook Air

So I left an airpod on the keyboard and closed the lid. The bezel is cracked. Is this something that Apple will replace without replacing the entire screen??????

Apple Studio Display fragile glass expensive to repair - any options? I have one of the new 27" Studio Displays, the cover glass of which has splintered due to a very low key bump along the edge while moving my MBP alongside it. The actual display panel is bonded to the exposed glass cover panels in these so the repair quotes I'm getting are around 2/3rd of the cost of a whole new display. Does anybody know whether these panels are truly glued to the LCD panel or if bundling the cover glass with the LCD panel is just a parts sales SKU decision? If they're not actually glued, I'll be looking into it more to see if I can source the glass panel or a close enough substitute alone.

2020 Macbook Air M1 screen replacement, Screen is glitching. my macbook screen starts to glitch whenever i try to completely pull the screen to an angle where it is comfortable to use, but as soon as i do it, it starts to glitch and when i again try to pull it down to a certain angle it works completely fine. My only question is, in this situation do i need to replace the screen, or it is repairable? just FYI that screen is completely fine with no physical damage, but just this thing started happening out of nowhere. If i need to replace it how much will it cost?

Is a cracked MacBook bezel considered a cracked screen? So, like several others I've seen on here, the bezel below the screen on my 13" M2 MacBook Air cracked, just outside of warranty. Due to other hardware issues I've had despite taking very good care of this incredibly fragile machine, I've decided I want to switch to a Mac mini for my desktop and use my iPad with a keyboard for any on-the-go stuff. So how much does a cracked bezel affect the trade-in value? My screen is in flawless condition, save for that small crack in the bezel. There is no other physical damage/marks or anything in the area and the screen has never showed signs of failing. My question is really in the title. I'm looking to get this traded in somewhere, and I would like to know if a faulty bezel is generally considered damage to the entire $500+ screen, or is on par with a non-problematic dent/scratch on the body.

Hi there -

If the display is damaged, the whole display needs to be replaced.

You can use Apple's cost estimator here: Mac Repair & Service - Apple Support.
