Cracked 27" iMac Screen Repair Options? (A1419/ iMac 13,2)
Hello all,
My iMac was the victim of a 3 year old's errant baseball throw. It chipped the upper right corner of the screen and a crack has spread at a 45 degree angle about 6 inches deep toward the middle of the screen. My computer works perfectly fine... but as you can imagine, the crack is an eyesore.
I've done some research and found it to cost around $700-$800 bucks to have Apple fix it. I can find the part with the toolkit to do it myself on eBay for around $450. I'm handy and have replaced hard drives on older iMac's before so I'm confident I could do it myself.
However, when searching for my iMac's specs, it took me to a support page and it told me I was still under warranty (until June 26th). I do not have Apple Care... it's just the one year warranty that comes with all new purchases through Apple (I bought this unit as a refurb).
My questions are... will my warranty cover at least in part a cracked screen repair? Or, I still have the option to purchase Apple Care for my unit. Would Apple Care cover a repair like this?
Any thoughts or advice on this would be appreciated!
