I was wondering what Apple charged for replacing the display for a 15” mid-2014 Macbook Pro? It is out of warranty and very badly scratched! Thanks,

Update (11/22/2018) I’ve added a photo, which actually makes it look worse than it is for everyday use. For the most part, I forget the scratches are there whilst I’m using my MacBook, but every now and again it annoys me. As to how it happened? I’m not entirely sure! I think it’ has been over time due to poor cleaning attempt and potentially my cat!! I’m not comfortable that I could follow those instructions successfully myself. It’d be great to find a private repairer instead of Apple. I am in Australia.

I can’t answer what Apple charges ;-} But I can tell you, you can do it cheaper! Here’s the IFIXIT guide MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2014 Display Assembly Replacement and here’s the needed part MacBook Pro 15" Retina Complete Display, Late 2013 / Mid 2014 But are you sure you need a new display? How about telling us a bit more on what happened and if you need to post a pic or two so we can see the damage Adding images to an existing question

If the screen is not actually broken and it has no sever dents, I would try for a “Flat Rate Depot” repair directly from Apple. @pollytintop, @jayeff or @benjamen50 may know the phone number for Apple direct in Aussyland. Apple will fix any and all problems for that flat rate fee. In Texas the cost is $357 USD with shipping and tax included $494.45 AUD. I doubt you can even find the part for that price. In the USA you call them described the problem, ask for a flat rate repair and they have a FedEx overnight shipping box on your doorstep the next morning. Total time including the day you called is four days. Be sure to back up your data before sending in just in case.

Hello, it looks like anti glare filter delimitation plus scratches. Google for info. Some people used rubbing alcohol, Listerine, etc. to remove the anti glare filter. This will not fix the problem with scratches. Well, you can get an external monitor.
