Apple goes by model year and screen size for their online estimator. A2251 returns to a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports).


Apple still lists your model as one they will service, at least in the US, but does not give an out-or-warranty cost estimate.But it is expensive. Retina Macbook Pros have a sealed display assembly. Apple does not sell parts for the assembly, just the whole assembly. Any damage or failure of any component,even the cable, requires an entire new assembly.


Other posts here report Apple (not 3rd party) display repair costs for Retina Macbook Pros starting around USD550 parts + labor and up. That'a a lot for a computer is likely getting its last OS upgrade this fall.


Given that yours is now 5 years old, repair is expansive, and many features of macOS now require Apple Silicon processors, this might the time to consider a new one.

Not sure what "omits" means in this context, but you can use a mail-in service to Apple for laptop computers.
