MacBook Air screen suddenly break without any apparent damage


For some reason I came home today to my MacBook Air Looking like this?? It was fine like about a few hours ago, what happened? I never dropped it or damaged it or something, there's no cracks(?) on it. I don't know if it's because I closed the lid too hard. What happened? How can I fix this?

It does have a crack in the LCD Panel on the lower right corner. The bottom of the black vertical bar is where the crack is located. It may even have a bit of a straight crack at a 45º angle going from the bottom right corner & into that black band.


You fix it by taking it to an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider where they will examine the laptop & provide you with a repair estimate. A hardware repair is the only way to fix a physical crack in the screen.
