Cracked Macbook Air Screen, Help :(

For those who can't get it repaired for free, as I posted in another thread - what I did, just bought the whole another laptop, took the screen from it and will be selling everything else for parts. Requires more time - yes, but in the end you can end up with a free screen assembly or even make money depending on how cheap you managed to buy everything. Worst case scenario - you will still end up with far smaller overall loss than buying just the screen.
All of the above doesn't apply for 11" screens, those can be bought for a really reasonable price.

Do it yourself if you're half competent with a screwdriver. You'll need to buy a pentalobe screwdriver to remove the bottom case ($5), and the only other screwdriver you'll need is a T8 for the hinges. If you've never done it before, it's a half hour to 45 minute repair. If you're competent, you can do it in about 15 minutes.
If you post the last 4 digits of your serial number we can give you the exact part number of the screen you need to buy.

I've got that as a Mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro, not an Air (the spec should be a Core i5 2.5GHz model).
The display assembly part number for that model is 661-6594.

MacBook Air 11.5'' model A1370
Thx!
In January my macbook pro finally would not take a charge anymore, after buying a new cord. I ordered a new Macbook pro from Apple, refurbiished. It arrive DOA with a question mark. I took it to the Apple store and somehow I ended up with a an AIR. 2 weeks later I am typing away and it was like a bullet hit the lower right screen and eventually took over the whole screen. I bought extended warrenty, I always do. Not covered. I had to pay $500 to fix it. I am very sure I did not cause this as this laptop in mostly on my desk, AKA bed! This has been very upsetting to say the least. I have been with apple since 1985, what is going on with this company??? What can you do??
