Chosen Solution
My 8-month-old mac accidentally fell on the floor. It now leaks backlight at the bottom left corner (which has a dent from the fall). What are my options if I want to get it repaired (pricing and repair shops)? Is it just cosmetic or can have major issues down the road? I have come across a similar post but it is from 2017, hence posted this to get recommendations on when I should repair this (from third parties) and if there are any additional insights.
