Anti-Reflective coating damaged - Screen Replacement?

I got the system 6 months ago, and I don't have AppleCare+

Sorry John, You do need a new screen assembly ;-{

The LCD glass is cracked so Apple won't take responsibility for the damage that might have been theirs with the coating. If the screen was not damaged then you might have had a chance.

Thanks for your reply, I'll guess I'll just take the £350 hit or however much it costs. Do you think this is a consequence of the LCD glass or rather the anti-reflective coating, I'm really not sure. I've noticed smudges before, but only on coloured on the screen since the LCD cracked. Thanks again!

The fact the cover glass is so badly fractured I couldn't tell you which happened first.

For argument sake lets say the screen coating were damaged alone then I would have gotten it fixed then. Now that the screen is also damaged they can't replace the cover glass as the LDC needs replacing too. You would still have a broken system with just a new cover glass the LCD would still be broken.

The type of cleaner and what you use to wipe the surface has a large bearing on causing damage to the coatings. I use a micro-cloth and eye glass cleaner as it's the safest. Even still, you'll want to wash the micro-cloth often as the grit it picks up can scratch the glass.

The cover glass isn't broke , this the image when's the laptop is on, there is no visible damage, except the smudging which can be seen when the laptop is off
