[QUOTE="mcnaryxc, post: 592153, member: 32661"] Alright, I finally got the MBP in the store and...they completely shocked me. I arrived there right when they opened and handed them my MBP. They took it in the back, I signed a paper and left. When I left and looked over the repair sheet, the part, they are replacing, said that it would be a "mbp clamshell." I didn't quite understand at first, but then I began to ponder. Are they replacing the whole top part? Screen and all? (Even the missing "o"?!?!:o ) Come to find out: They did!!:D They replaced the whole top "clamshell" under my warranty. I looked at the receipt and almost lost my breath. The part cost $703. Yes, that's correct. 7-0-3. WHOA! Labor was $85. Added together = $788 (and some change). So glad I have the AppleCare warranty. Total savings with AppleCare = $958 (I had to replace a battery.) Not to start a flame but, I thought I'd put what the description of my problem was, according to the Mac Genius: "Display contrast uneven on right side before one hour warmup, unable to verify issue at bar as customer brought in unit already on. Customer had some photos that are of a quality that makes it difficult to see whether or not issue is there." Umm...ok. I took the photos with my iPhone. (Ironic?:Smirk: ) If they made the camera better on the iPhone, it wouldn't be like that. Couldn't you guys here see the problem? Before I go, I had a couple questions: Could they have replaced my screen to be one of the newer MBP screens? If so, how can I tell? Thanks everyone for your help. (And for the record, they don't keep a bag of "o" in the back room with some glue;D ) [/QUOTE]
