My family gave me a macbook pro 15 inch laptop. they bought it back in aug 2007. Everything has worked fine they told me until my sister had gotten into a small fender bender. But it was enough to send the laptop flying into some stuff in the back of the car, and dent the bottom of it. the problem is that the lap top starts up with gray screen and apple logo, then goes black, but the computer is still running. Also, if i hook it up to a external monitor, it works perfectly, as in it shows up on the external monitor. the dent is located on the botoom right hand corner if your looking at the computer head on. Also the computer gets hotter than usual. Any ideas on how to fix it? I'm a PC guy usually but would like to delve into macs also, so i would like to get this working. I'm running lepoard snow. Thats all i really know about it, any suggestions? I took it into the apple store and they said the logic board could be shorting out because of the aluminum hitting the logic board where the dent is. but if that was true, why would i get a display in the first place? any ideas.
