Updated cliche

What's the techno version of "I walked into a door and got a black eye"? How about, "my laptop did"?
Last night I managed to bang the edge of my (closed) laptop into the handle of the hall closet's folding door. It cracked the screen, and now the lower-right quarter of it is blank-with-a-few-vertical-stripes, and above that is a roughly eye-shaped black patch.

So I think it's time for the Apple Store once more, only this time I'll be picking up the tab, because it's the fault of my stupidity....

Fixable, but *very* expensive. I'm going to the Apple Store for a quote tomorrow, but I'm anticipating around $600-$750. Almost enough to make me buy a new one, but it's only seven months old, and still has 2/12 years of warranty left (though that's protection against future things going wrong, not this which was My Own Damn Fault).

Ah, that's what it was, I think the Apple Care folks told me to buy a new one rather than have mine repaised because the costs would be so high.
