im planning on taking my macbook in for a cracked palmrest fix, and i really would like them to just replace it without turning on my computer (since it has nothing to do with software). i really dont want anybody seeing the files on my computer (personal/business related). anyone ever have a problem with the repairs going through your stuff?
