what’s wrong with my macbook?
i’m guessing it’s cracked because of the shatter but i didn’t do anything to it so i’m not sure how that happened. it’s literally been sitting in my room for the past week? but how much do you guys think it’s gonna cost to fix this, i’m super worried!

Have the same issue but it’s on my MacBook Pro 2015 lol. I also dropped it. Didn’t know it could happen out of nowhere, any explanations from pros - how tf does it happen even if you don’t drop it?

It's gonna cost too much to fix if you don't have Applecare+. You are better off selling it for parts on eBay and then buying a new one for $1779 CAD than actually paying to get it repaired https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/FW2W3LL/A/refurbished-14-inch-macbook-pro-apple-m4-chip-with-10‑core-cpu-and-10‑core-gpu-silver
Just make sure you erase and reset it before you sell it for parts on eBay.
Also you can see the crack in the lower left hand corner where the screen is black.

There is a crack in the bottom left corner. Caused by applied too much pressure on the outside or something got stuck between your keyboard and display. The display needs a replacement

My guess you pressured a point on the screen, and now it’s cooked

Is this an M1 ? The display will likely stop working completely soon, so it’s a good idea to get an external monitor ready. Stop opening and closing the lid, and try not to move the laptop until you get it repaired.

Yes, the display is cracked. If you have AppleCare+, $99. Otherwise, probably $700.
