[QUOTE="GK27V6, post: 860889, member: 61812"] Hello everyone, I'm kinda embarrassed to post this, but about nine months ago I dropped my MB onto a hard floor. Still works 100% but there is some minimal physical damage, which I'd like to fix. Am I able to go to any Apple store where they would just fix/replace my case? My one year warranty expires in August. Here I've posted some pics: [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg192/GK27V6/macbook%20damaga/P4300324.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg192/GK27V6/macbook%20damaga/P4300325.jpg[/IMG] I'm a little concerned about this part here, where I can actually press in the case: [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg192/GK27V6/macbook%20damaga/P4300328.jpg[/IMG] Versus [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg192/GK27V6/macbook%20damaga/P4300329.jpg[/IMG] My greatest concern is the hinge: [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg192/GK27V6/macbook%20damaga/P4300332.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg192/GK27V6/macbook%20damaga/P4300331.jpg[/IMG] As you've probably noticed, the lid does not sit flush with the bottom. It's fine on the other side though: [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg192/GK27V6/macbook%20damaga/P4300333.jpg[/IMG] I plan to buy AppleCare in the near future, would that make a difference?
