I started to experience a clunkiness/stickiness/stiffness at the right side of the tracking pad on this PowerBook Pro for a couple of days now.
Went today to an authorized place near me, and they noticed a
light spot next to the pad, which made them think it's a spill.
I know I am careful with the machine and I don't drink sugary drinks next to the laptop, so I am very skeptical.
They didn't open it yet, I am waiting to hear what they see inside,
but they quoted me $250( two hundred fifty) for cleaning the eventual spill,
( if that's the cause ),
or replace the face of the book ( which is covered by the Apple ).
I am not sure what my option are, but while waiting, I am wondering:
1. How hard is it to open the case and clean the pad from the inside?
2. would that wipe off the insurance also?
Thank you for opinions.
