[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1256422, member: 46727"] The only thing I would suggest - and this assumes you're handy with taking things apart... is to look for an exact same model MBP as yours on eBay. One that's being sold for parts and is inoperable. If it's cheap enough, buy it and use the case parts from it to replace yours. Instructions for replacing the case can be found at [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url]. I honestly don't know how much it would cost you to have it done by a qualified tech at Apple but I'm sure you can do the job yourself including parts for much less. The other option is to live with it the way it is until you can afford to purchase a new machine. [/QUOTE]
