[QUOTE="sirbenji, post: 1608337, member: 334144"] Last week I spilled tea all over my 15" macbook pro retina. I brought it in for repair and they're changing all of the parts except the screen. It costs slightly less than a new machine ($2500 vs $2800) Since I'm paying for the repair (or rather, my insurance is), can I get the old parts? The 512gb SSD, for example, still works -- but, because there's tea residue on it, they can't guarantee it and so they have to replace it so that the machine can remain warrantied. I wouldn't mind having the spare parts for when the warranty expires. Note that I am paying the full cost of the repair + parts, it is NOT warrantied. I should have asked at the store, but I only thought about it after I left. [/QUOTE]
