I... bent my 2.4 alu macbook in half.

This is what happened. The mac was beside my bed, and i fell off the bed and landed kind of on top of it. It had the screen open... I didn't notice anything until today, but now i just can't believe it.

It is bent in the bottom right corner. First i noticed the trackpad was kind of dent in, it made the click a little weird to click (on the right corner), and it bothered me, but i got over it, it still worked. Then when i showed a friend, he pointed out it was bent. Oh my god, he was right. As you can see in the pics, the corner totally sticks out. I usually have it on my iLap, but if i put it on the table it wobbles, since it isn't straight anymore. And the worst is when i close the screen, this huge gap is left between the bottom part of the mac and the display.

So far i haven't noticed any functionality problems, so far. Since its the unibody, i guess if i had it replaced i would have to replace the whole body, meaning almost the entire mac. Its about 6 months old. I had never even bumped it before! I guess its pointless to take it to apple since they probably can't do anything for it............. i guess i'm gonna have to live with it! Any thoughts??

Hmmm, did the pics upload?

Hmmmmm..... Short and to the point.....


NO

It's not that bad. From the looks of it. I thought you meant it was totally bent like folding a piece of paper in half. >_<"

If it had been bent in half, i doubt it would still work.

Anyhow, it would cost me 300$ for a new upper case if i decided to replace. I think it will stay how it is for the moment..... thanks for your answers anyway

And this, children, is why we shouldn't be using our laptops while in bed.

Eat spinach, bend it back.

Id sell it on ebay and use the money for last years mac

The OP already spent the money to fix it. >_>"

That's what the beans you're eating -- from the look of the plate -- do to your MacBook.
