MACbook Pro 17-in
Picked up computer and pinche the screen on top-middle. Damaged it and now have a patch of fixed pattern covering the middle from top to bottom. Apple genius said screen must be changed. How do I do that?
Is this a good question?

There are two ways to repair this. iFixit has a guide that you can find on the right hand side of this page by clicking on the step by step guides. I prefer the guide I wrote that just involves the display case and is much faster: MacBook Core 2 Duo LCD & Inverter A1181 (fast method) Replacement
You can look at both before doing it.
Go here for the part number between the matte and glossy LCD note the comment on the high rez screen. You will have to actually look at your part and its number to know which to get.

X94. I took out the hard drive and there were two numbers exposed. I think these are the last three digits of S/N. Thanks
