Broken MacBook · Cracked Screen
Sell a MacBook with a cracked screen. We'll quote in minutes
A cracked or shattered MacBook display does not zero out the value. The chassis, logic board, RAM and SSD are intact, and refurbishers in our pipeline replace screens at wholesale cost. A MacBook Air M2 with a fully shattered screen is still worth AED 950–1,250 to us as-is.
We bought 847 broken MacBooks across UAE last year. Yours is normal to us.
Why this fault still has value
The honest economics
Display assemblies are the most-replaced MacBook part on the refurb market. Our partners source genuine pulls and aftermarket panels at AED 300–500 — far below Apple authorised pricing. That price gap is exactly why we can pay you more than a walk-in shop in Naif or Al Fahidi: they sell broken units to brokers at parts value, we sell them on as full working machines.
Repair vs sell
Don't pay to fix it first — here's the math for this fault
| Model | Repair cost | Lift to our offer | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacBook Air M1 | AED 550–700 (authorised) | AED 350–450 once working | You lose AED 100–250 by repairing first. |
| MacBook Pro M2 13" | AED 700–900 | AED 450–550 | You lose AED 150–350. |
| MacBook Pro M3 14" | AED 900–1,200 | AED 600–750 | You lose AED 250–450. |
