Go to a Genius Bar at an Apple store. The estimate is free, and if the repair cost is too high for the value of the unit, ask back for other options.

Replacing the screen is probably the most expensive part, They replace it as a whole unit not just the glass. If it still works, I'd try to live with it if you can still read everything OK. If not, and your machine is older than 3 years, I would conside a new machine, and getting an external diplay for the busted one amd using it as desktop.

When someone cracked my screen a couple of years ago I was quoted $1,200.00 USD for replacement, I bought a new machine as mine was nearly 3 years old, and usde the old as desktop.

Best of luck
