When I rubbed my finger on the screen there is no indication on the front or the back of the display that it was hit there. Once I finished I turned it one and saw my screen cracked. I used one Clorox and one paper towel to clean it. I saw that my screen was pretty dirty and decided I have to clean the finger prints on it. I have a complete back-up of the computer on Time machine, so I assume I could just transfer everything to the new machine.I got up this morning with mac book opened and turned off. I haven?t turned the machine on since it fell? That would be another consideration!! Should I do this or leave it to a professional?!Ĥ. If it costs 400 euros to replace the screen and housing, would anyone have an opinion on whether it is best simply to buy a new machine (just over a thousand euros?) or invest in the repair? How many problem-free years should one hope to get out of an iMac?ģ. The machine is a late 2009/early 2010 model, the most basic model. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to replace the outer screen without repairing/replacing the housing (see attacehd photos)? There do not appear to be any rivets/connections at the corner where the outer screen would be affixed, but the repair place I asked gave me the (self-serving) answer that the housing would have to be replaced as well and it is not dented in such a way that the housing now protrudes, or would interfere with the outer glass screen.Ģ. The replacement screen appears pretty inexpensive (about 120 euros), but the housing is expensive (about 280 euros)ġ. I had an accident with my iMac ? it fell on the corner and the outer glass screen (not the inner LED (?)) screen) is smashed, and there is a dent in the corner (in the housing).

Can you fix a cracked imac screen
