[QUOTE="gort, post: 221218, member: 5540"] Well I was contemplating replacing the drive myself, I actually cracked open the machine and had it all laid out looking at it. Then I figured, I paid for applecare I'll let them do it, there are a lot of delicate-looking parts in here. So I took it to the local shop which is listed on apple.com as an authorized warranty repair center. Luckily they did in fact do the repairs for me free of charge, thank god! The total cost of parts & labor listed was about $300 so it looks like the applecare has already paid off (this is my first time ever using it). The only bad side is I lost some important documents and stuff, but I had most of my most important stuff on an external hard drive backed up from when I reformatted a month ago. [/QUOTE]
