Corner of MacBook outer frame loose after repair. Take it back?

A few weeks ago, I took my MacBook in to an Apple store to get the top cover (the palm rest part) replaced because it was cracking. After I got it back and went home, I noticed that the right corner of the MacBook (where the IR sensor & sleep light) was loose when I put pressure against that corner -- it makes a popping sound.
Is there anything I could do? It's getting really annoying when you're typing stuff, you accidentally bump the corner, and it makes a popping sound. Should I take it back to the Apple Store?

I would.

  • Iphone 3GS keeps crashing and wont hang up after out & incoming calls after repairs

    I have had my iphone 3GS back to vodafone after I could not make calls, kept saying call failed!. I did all the troubleshooting tips, was okay for a short time, then shortly started doing same thing.I took it back to the store and on that occasion the assistant took the phone out of the protective cover i always had it in  to replace the simcard in case it was this that was causing the problem ,then he dropped it onto the shops wooden floor and it bounced, he picked it up & went bright red & kept apologising , I then said if I have any more problems with it then I will come back & see him & he said yes. Shortly after I noticed the sim cover on top of phone was missing but i could see the simcard inside, so I returned to the store & informed them of this, i was advised by the earlier assistant 'Craig' that he thought that the sim tray was underneath the simcard which he then removed the simcard, then advised me he didn't want to go poking about in it in case it was inside and he would send the phone to be repaired & gave me a replacement phone until mine was back. I waited approx 2 weeks before receiving a call from Vodafone saying they would repair it if I payed over £100! as it was not covered under my insurance,  I informed them the assistant dropped the phone in store and then i noticed the problem & was then told they would investigate this and call back, 10 minutes later they called back to say it would be a free repair. Since the repair I have had nothing but trouble with the phone crashing when I access apps , sticking on the hangup screen with in & out going calls for approx 10 minutes or more, when I turn phone on the Apple logo stays on the screen for long periods off time. When I access my music the track will change part way through to another track & also sometimes refusing to charge. I am fed up with going back & forth to the store which is quite a distance from my home & the phone has more problems since it was ''dropped'' & then ''repaired'' & I am at a loss of what to do. I feel I have been treated unfairly and gone along with all Vodafone asked of me. Please could someone from Apple help me!!!

    The steps you already took were the correct ones - reset, restore from backup, restore as new phone. You could always try them again, but a Restore with set up as new is the 'ulitmate' troubleshooter - if that doesn't correct the issue, it's usually time for a replacement phone. Unfortunately, you've learned a hard lesson there, although I don't see how Apple screwed you - it's no secret that the iPhone warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase (as a little research on your part would have shown).
    See how much money you saved with your eBay purchase? Next time buy the phone from Apple or an authorized UK carrier.

  • New MacBook Pro Running Slow after repairs?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have 3 month old MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz with 4GB RAM running Leopard 10.5.5 which I bought back in June.
    It was working beautifully until a month ago when it suddenly had a problem where the trackpad, the keyboard and the left had USB port stopped working, but it would work with an external keypad and mouse through the right hand USB port.
    I took it o the recommended Apple service centre and the fixed it in a few days by replacing the trackpad the keyboard, the uSB port and the logic board.
    It all works again but has been running really slow ever since, even taking a long time to open up folders and about 4 times as long as it used to to copy files to USB flash drives.
    Any ideas on things I can try to fix it up?

    Thanks,
    Yes I just checked and there's still 4GB or RAM. Another thing I've noticed to day is that the Hard Drive seem to be making a bit of general low background noise when nothing is going on and the activity monityor says not much is happenning. From memory it used to be quieter in the past.

  • Outer frame is loosing coating

    Hi,
    I can't believe this is my second post regarding issues with a 2-week old Apple! I still remember the days we bought Apples and they were plug-and-play-and-get-happy.
    Anyway, now the problem is happening to the externa case: the outer frame has a kind of coating and it just starte loosing it... I started as a 'white' bubble on the black frame, it got bigger, now it looks as if it will happen on the entire computer.
    I take REALLY good care of my computer, more than a person should take (really, those are only machines and handling them like a baby is pretty non-sense, but that's how I handle mine). I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problems too?
    I'm really thinking about returning this to Apple. First is the AirPort that doesn't behave well, now this case thing. I'm a Mac user for more than 10 years, but that doesn't make me stupid enough to pay for a product that *****. More and more I have the feeling that Apple is rushing into launching new things and quality is no longer their priority. Too bad, other companies will come, just as it happened on every other industry...
    Best. T.

    Can you post pictures somewhere and put a link in this thread? I've not noticed the macbooks having any particular kind of coating, and a white bubble on a blackbook would be odd indeed.

    What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
    The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
    An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded  to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.
    Cheers

  • How Do I Repair My MacBook Pro 15 Inch after critical error partitioning the hardrive?

    Hey guys I have just recently turned into a MAC OS X 10.6 user and i needed to have windows on my New MacBook Pro 15", I used the BootCamp Installer within the utilities section of applications and it partitioned my hardrive it then told me the partition needed to be formatted in NTSF format and shutdown, now when i power it up i get the black screen of death and the white stroke in the top left of the screen where the macbook is looking for windows files which are not there as it did not install them thanks to the format being incorrect, is there a way to go back to the original mac section of my hardrive using keyboard shortcuts? Also if i did not recieve a install disc with my macbook should i just take it back to the shop and have a genius look at it?

    First of all. don't listen to 'The hatter' - he is being no help here.
    There is no critical error.
    Also, you don't really need a backup.
    To boot into Mac OS X hold down 'alt' whilst pressing the power button and keep pressing alt until a menu pops up, choose Macintosh HD and then it will boot Mac OS X.
    Make sure your Windows install disk is in the drive when rebooting.

  • No Serial Number after repair...

    I finally got my macbook back today from The Apple Store after having the logic board swapped out because of a broken ethernet port. But have immediately noticed that the serial number is now listed as 'System Serial #' in both the 'About This Mac' dialog and in System Profiler Hardware Overview page.
    I'm pretty loath to take it back in. It took almost 3 weeks to get it back this time. Is there any downside to just leaving the serial number that way?
    TIA
    Hamish

    It shouldn't make any difference. Apple has all the documentation on your repair(s).

  • I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

    I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
    if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
    because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
    can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
    Help.

    BB1B2,
    The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
    You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • MacBook Air Kernel Panic after boot

    Hi all! Recently, My MacBook Air had been kind of acting up. Everytime when I cold boot it, it would start, then after a few seconds later crash, then a kernel panic would occur after a few seconds. This happens recurringly and I do not know what is the cause of the problem. It seems that this would only happen after a long period inbetween the first boot and the next boot.
    Answays, here is my crashlog for reference:

    Please help me solve my problem! This has only happened recently after my update to Mavericks.

    Any or all of the following third-party system modifications may be contributing to the problem:
    Hamachi
    Elmedia Player
    Razer mouse driver
    If the panic is recurrent, I suggest you check that all are up to date, and if they are, uninstall them, one at a time, according to the developers' instructions, to see whether you can determine which is at fault. A conflict between modifications may be involved. Reboot and test after each uninstallation.
    Back up all data before making any changes.

  • Macbook no longer "sleeps" after 'low battery' warning, just suddenly dies

    My macbook (just over a year old) used to give me a warning with 10 minutes left that it would sleep so as my data was not lost, if I didn't plug it in. However, recently, it has stopped doing this - instead of sleeping, if I don't get to a power source in time within 10 minutes, it simply cuts out, with the sound of the hard drive stopping - like if you shut down a frozen macbook with the power button.
    This is REALLY irritating - what's going on? Why does it not sleep anymore, and is there any way to fix it?
    I'm on Tiger 10.4.11, with an intel macbook...

    Same Problem here. Tried several calibrations, smc and pram zap (well i guess there is no pram any longer so it zaps something else). Now I found another post where they talk about the battry 1.2 update. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1449128&tstart=60
    I remember when trying to do an battery update to 1.3 manually the update told me that it is not for my macbook. But - I found the 1.3 update Bundle in /System/Library/Configuration/BatteryUpdater.bundle
    1. I Removed /System/Library/Configuration/BatteryUpdater.bundle from my system
    2. rebooted
    3. Emptied trash
    4. Installed update 1.2 by Softwarupdate.
    I will now do an SMC reset an then let the battery run low and watch what happens.
    Then do a calibration.
    I have the problem here in different ways. Sometimes Macbook shuts down suddenly after low battery warning, sometimes it sleep, almost never it hibernates.
    My Battery was replace after showing the x symptome about a year ago but now it looks bad again

    URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition
    I have recent bought a new Macbook Pro and then I start doing all the necessary setup. This is the first time I do such setup with bootcamp myself anyway.
    1st: normal MacOS setup, the Lion version has been setup perfectly.
    2nd: run the bootcamp and setup the Windows 7, done perfectly as well.
    3rd: try to partition and resize the harddrive with the Lion installed and create 2 new FAT partitions (now 4 partitions in total: 1 for Lion, Journaled, 1 for Windows 7 in NTFS, 2 for file sharing purposes in FAT). See if I can have better partitioning to do necessary organisations.
    4th: When I want to restart in Windows to see if the newly created 2 FAT partitions can be read in Windows environment and can function norally, the Windows setup does not show at the start up page when I hold the "Option" key during the startup. I then try to restart again, still no such partition but boot directly to Lion.
    5th: I tried to repair the Windows 7 with the start up disc and then it worked. I can also see the 2 newly partitioned FAT drive work normally.
    6th: When I want to restart in Lion, I cannot boot the Lion OS and I cannot find the start up icon on the startup page even with me holding the "Option" Key.
    7th: "MacOS Installation Utility" appears. I tried to repair but cannot as I have neither the Lion setup disc with me (coz the Lion has been pre-installed) nor a time machine backup/ any other backup image to load from.
    8th: Tried to "erase and install a new copy of Lion", the partition where the Lion has been previously installed cannot be shown, now indicate itself as "freespace" and not able to be selected for my "erase and reinstall" process.
    9th: so I go to 2 other FAT drives to do as the instructions to try "erase" and hope the "reinstall" process can be started. But the Disk Utility ends up saying the drive cannot be dismounted/ cannot verfy...
    At the end of the many tries, I tried to shut the computer down and restart again, hopefully something will work still.... the startup page now shows a disk image with ?, I guess NO OPERATION system/ drive detected for booting. So I got a piece of metals without any use now...
    Anybody help? Thanks alot!!

    In Windows, go to Control Panel -> System. Do you see a Boot Camp option? If you do not, please download BC drivers as appropriate for you specific Mac year/model System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support
    and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.
    The other option is to use

  • Mac OS X partition ("Macintosh HD") gets out of sync after hibernation

    Hello,
    I have a first-generation Unibody 15" MacBook Pro. I run Mac OS X Lion and Windows XP Profession 32-bit through Boot Camp on it.
    I notice that the Mac OS X partition gets out of sync after I hibernate in Windows XP, reboot into Mac OS X Lion, restart and resume Windows XP. Certain folders would remain visible in Windows Explorer but become inaccessible, while some folders that I just created in Mac OS X would not even show up.
    Is there a way to tell Windows XP to "remount" the HFS+ partition?
    Steps to reproduce:
    Boot into Windows XP;
    Hibernate Windows XP;
    Boot into Mac OS X;
    Pick a folder and change something in it;
    Create a new folder;
    Reboot and resume Windows XP;
    Open "Windows Explorer";
    Try to access the folders you just meddled with.

    Don't hibernate, shut XP down when you reboot and the issue goes away, you really should consider using a more modern operating system.

  • 2011 Macbook Pro white screen after apple logo and spinning wheel

    Hey there guys,
    My 2011 Macbook Pro has encountered some problems. Firstly while i was at school, i opened up my computer, usually the computer would require you to type your password, but my login page became fuzzy, white lines everywhere. So I restarted my computer and everything was okay. After that i came back home, my computer was running fine, after surfing the net for a few hours, my whole computer suddenly became blue. So what i did was i just restarted my computer, after that my computer would boot up Apple logo would come up, the spinning wheel would also come up, after 30-40 secs it would turn black screen and come back on as a white screen and would just stay like that. It would be on the white screen. Tried some rebooting ways but all didn't work.
    1st: I wanna know whats the problem?
    2nd: Is this a harddrive failure? (Because i have alot of important documents and personal stuff in my hard drive and i hope it isn't a crashed hardrive)
    Thanks for your help..
    PS: Im running on Moutain Lion, but i have no idea what version it is.

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Warnings notice after repairing permissions

    After upgrading to 10.5.1, I noticed the following Warnings after I repaired permissions:
    Warning: SUID file "usr/libexec/load_hdi" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    Any idea of what's causing these warnings? Is this a problem I should correct or worry about?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    This looks like a carbon copy to the message I found after repairing permissions. It happened as well after installing Mac OS X Leopard. I verified my Startup Disk, it checked out ok. The reason why I did these repair and verification moves was because my Toast 8 crashed each time upon trying to start it up. I had no problems with it before, neither with any prior Toast version, down to Toast 2 (I believe, I started with Toast 2). When I installed the Leopard I did an upgrade only, not an "erase and install." I just dreaded to do a zillion re-installations of all applications. I hope somebody comes up with some good suggestions. Or is it possible that this has to do with those typical bugs that seem to be unavoidable at the release of a new system software?
