IPad fell on the ground. Lower left corner and in for about an inch is shattered. Couple of cracks on screen. Still functions, but looks knarly.
Can the screen be replaced? (For less than the cost of a new iPad. )

I have the 2006 MacBook with the dead battery. Could that problem have caused this new problem?
I turned on the computer last night. A gray screen with a folder and "?" appeared.
Googled information on the problem and tried all the solutions listed.
Safe boot
Reset PRAM
Inserted Tiger install disk. I had Snow Leopard on the computer, but when I sold my iMac Sunday evening I included that disk with the sale, so I used the Tiger disk that came with the MacBook. Ran Disk Utility, Repair Disk, everything came up okay.
Ran Disk Warrior and did repairs on the Directory and tested Disk, everything was okay. I was able to see all of my files, so everything is still there.
I had to "Option" "Eject" both disks, as it would not do it automatically.
Even though this laptop is 6 1/2 years old, it has hardly been used. There should be nothing wrong with the hard drive. For some reason at startup it's just not able to locate it.
Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
Thanks,
Barbara E
