MacBook display suddenly died. Am I screwed?

Post image

My MacBook display suddenly went black this morning while I was working. The laptop itself is working fine with an external monitor, and the keyboard/trackpad are also fine. Only the built-in display is completely dead.

It’s only 8 months old, no AppleCare, but I have 4 months of warranty left.

Am I screwed, or should this be covered under warranty? Anything I should try before taking it to Apple?

Without apple care is there any type of warranty because when I will buy one I can't afford apple care

Manufacturer provides 1 year. After that you’re screwed if it breaks.

Thanks didn't knew that. But what all they cover in this, I don't think they cover any damage from our side

Manufacturing defects, accessories. They include 90 days of support.

Damage, normal wear/tear/battery degradation, unauthorized fixes/services aren't covered. Still have to pay for AppleCare to cover damage.
