Depending on the year, you may be able to fix it yourself. Check iFixit for your model on how to replace the screen.

Follow the process there, which depending on your system could be as easy as remove the bezel, undo 4 screws, lean the screen forward, snug up the connector & put a fresh piece of kapton tape over it to hold it down and then put everything back together.

Okay, I'll look into it. The issue is the screen, which apparently needs to be replaced as a whole because Apple integrated a faulty 6 $ display cable into the panel to make it thinner. And the screens are only available from Apple... :/
