Three days without laptop / Repair of damaged Macbook Pro screen
In Hong Kong and right on the day when I was leaving for Hong Kong - I noticed a bug in my Macbook Pro’s screen. A real insect yes! ![img_20160907_151934]https://cdn.anuragbhatia.com/web/post/2016/09/three-days-without-laptop-repair-of-damaged-macbook-pro-screen/images/IMG_20160907_151934-scaled.jpg)
This was irritating. Hard to know how it actually got inside but may be from bottom side of laptop which was missing two screws for a while which I recently bought from UK and added. Apple support couldn’t answer on how it got there. Furthermore I was facing a problem of screen showing pink/green lines after turning on for almost 1.8 years now. They used to show up when laptop was turned on and used to go away after 15-20mins. Over time the issue increased and now it was taking as much as 40-50mins for lines to go away. Since I was visiting Hong Kong for HKNOG 3.0, I booked an appointment with Apple store. Fixing time went quick (over phone call with Apple support) and I was at Apple store in HK right on next day after an overnight flight to Hong Kong. They dropped bill bomb by quoting me $5600 HKD / $720 USD / 48k INR !!!
