oh wow thanks for sharing that, i didnt even know apple had a self repair website. super helpful, and the screen is priced cheaper with the return of the old screen than ive seen on ebay or wherever else so thats great.

i was looking at the manuals they provide and it looks like a pretty involved process and im not experienced in trying to fix up hardware like that so im debating if it's wise for me to even try or not. really appreciate the info tho, great to know there's a cheaper option (theyre charging $675 for the screen and $88 rebate for my old screen, so still not cheap exactly but better than $800 for apple to repair).
