Loose Screen Connection

[em100]

I have a White Mac Unibody and about 7 months ago I had the screen replaced. I am having a problem with a loose screen connection. If I bring in all the papers, do you think Apple will do it for free? I do not have applecare left anymore🙁.

Try, be nice, and if that fails you with Apple, promptly exit and - find your local friendly nerd. 😉

I've yet to open up a white unibody, but if that's the model you have - your Apple care recently expire? As in, very recently? I'd call Apple, or head in and try your luck.

Edit:

Actually, you had your screen replaced 7 months ago - under Apple care? If so, they might even be obligated, as that sounds like a workmanship issue.

it expired feb 2011 but idk if the extended the warranty on the new parts.

I'm not so much thinking part defect, more of an "installation error". If you can see the connector - and that it's loose - maybe they messed something up on the install?

It'd be one thing if it was your optical drive, and you had problems with your LCD connector - but if they changed your display, and you're having issues (again) related to that assembly.... that's a bit too coincidental.

This is what happened. They gave it to me for free instead of having to pay $700. I got very lucky and now really appreciate apple.

EEEP! That looks like a cracked LCD, or even heat damage, but definitely not a loose connection! Thankfully you got it fixed for free though 🙂

well they didn't fix it. they aid it wasn't the connection it was the display. I'm not paying $260 for something that i can live with.

$260 is a good price, Compared to $700 for a new display or whatever it is.
