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 still pays real cash as-is — your exact offer is confirmed free at pickup.
We buy hundreds of broken MacBooks a year across the UAE. 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 far below Apple authorised pricing. That cost 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 | Expensive at authorised service | More once working — exact on WhatsApp | Repairing first usually loses you money. Sell as-is. |
| MacBook Pro M2 13" | Pricey — genuine screen assembly | More once working — exact on WhatsApp | Repairing first usually loses you money. Sell as-is. |
| MacBook Pro M3 14" | Very expensive — larger Retina panel | More once working — exact on WhatsApp | Repairing first usually loses you money. Sell as-is. |
