[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1173354, member: 56379"] I've know a few people (including myself)...who have gotten their "topcase" replaced by Apple. I purchased a used MacBook back in August...it had some cracks...and it also still had 10 months of Applecare left on it...so I had no troubles getting the replacement. In many cases (if you go to a local Apple Store)...they can do this while you wait (maybe a 1-2 hours while you "cruise" around the Mall)...or at least by the next day.:) I have known other folks get it done with no Applecare as well. It is a problem that is so well-known & documented...that Apple "usually" will still do it for free even without Applecare. Here's an older article (April, 2009) speaking about it: [url=http://macs.about.com/b/2009/04/08/apple-to-repair-cracked-white-macbooks.htm]Apple to Repair Cracked White MacBooks[/url] Good luck...please let us know how it turns out, - Nick [/QUOTE]
