Broken macbook pro screen - What to do.

[spongela]

My macbook pro screen has become damaged after I unfortunately dropped it screen face down. The mac itself still works fine, but part of the screen is now partly black. I have Included a picture to show more of what I'm talking about.

My question is, is it just a case of replacing the screen itself. I have been looking at a few replacement screen that's are sold on ebay ( I'm also in the UK) most seem to be going for around £50- £70. Also Is it easy to replace the screen itself, I think I came across a few guides that looks pretty useful.

If everything else still functions properly then you will be able to get away with replacing just the display. I have personally never done so but there are guides as you said as well as videos to walk you through the process.

When you say display, do you mean just replacing the front of the screen?, like buying a new screen like this -

I mean replacing the screen itself, yes.
