Dents

I want to know how much it will be to fix a dent on a Macbook Pro?

Why don't you go to your local Apple store and ask about it at Genius bar,
or ask about it at iFixit

I recently managed to get the whole casing of my 13" Macbook Pro (Mid-2009) replaced due to a missing foot and dodgy spacebar. The lid is dented and scratched so would like to know how much it would cost to replace? I know its not covered by AppleCare.

So i took my Macbook Pro 13'' (Mid-2009) into Apple because the spacebar was jammed and I had one of the feet of the bottom casing missing which was unusual (black circles). The unibody and bottom plate had a fair few dents and nicks and under AppleCare I was able to get the whole unibody and bottom case fixed for free. Saved myself a good £181!
This now leaves my lid which has one or two noticeable dents and the bottom right part is suffering from several scratches. I was wondering how much a new lid would cost if I took it into Apple? I know it won't be covered under AppleCare as its accidental damage but want to know whether its worth paying for to have a once again dent free Macbook Pro .
As a side note, do Apple upgrade your hardware at all, such as the hard drive or memory? I know it would be cheaper to do it at an independant computer shop or by myself but would like to explore my options first.

Warranty void due to multiple dents on edges?

currently my ipad display distorted as it still have 6 months warranty so i send in for repair.
but they said can't repair only replacement.
Now they said can't replace it as it has many dents on edges so warranty voided.
that not fair i just bought it for 6 month and the dents were already there for since first month i bought.
so the distortion wasn't caused by the dents.
Does anyone encounter such problem?

Some not insignificant physical trauma caused those dents, and Apple cannot just take your word that the dents didn't cause your problem. Especially since the duration of time between the denting and the problem doesn't mean a darn thing. I once dropped a MacBook Pro on the floor and, despite a big dent, it worked fine... For a month, then the logic board finally failed. Following physical trauma, problems can crop up at a later date, they don't have to occur right away.

If your iPad has a dent that effect the functioning of something does apple keep the iPad to work on it?

I recently noticed that a dent was on the side of my iPad that effects the proper functioning of the volume controls. I have AppleCare on my iPad. But will apple keep my iPad to work on it?
Thank you in advance!

Dent on macbook pro, how to repair?

Hello, I have a dent on my macbook pro. It was shipped from the portuguese apple store online. I would like to know what I can do about since it came this way thru airmail.
Thank you very much

Contact the store and the shipper. It should not come with a dent. How was the packaging? Any damage to the shipping carton? You need to determine responsibility. Realize also that "you dropped" it is a possible scenario.

I received a new Ipad2 for Christmas, I noticed the few times i used it the volume button was stuck , it would stay on the screen and keep Turning up, it has a dent where the volume isin the middle, apple said I could send it for a replacement but...

She also mentioned if I had an apple store here I could take it in it may be faster, we just had a new apple store that opened in our mall so I took it in, talked to the tech and he pushed the button to see what I meant, then he says yeah this is broken and dented from pushing so hard on it, I said it wasn't really dented that bad just the middle, it came that way, then he's says well we aren't actually a apple store we just sell there product here so you are best to go with Apple and send it too them like they said, I was dumbfounded I honestly think he made this worse when he pushed on it, now I am scared when apple receives me iPad they won't replace it like they said, it was bought this way apparently a bad lot went into the store my husband got it and they told everyone to call apple to replace because they don't replace electronics, I am freaked out now I feel screwed all the way around, what do you think Apples reaction will be, how good is their customer service in Canada when sent away? I am just worried because this wasn't my fault

Big issue? Really? I'm on this forum just about every night and yet, I have not seen posts about such a "Big" issue with any regularity. If your iPad was dented when you got it (sorry for not really believing you), why did you wait until just now to try bringing this to anyones attention? My guess is you dented the iPad. Initially it wasn't an issue, but after pushing on the volume control too hard, it is an issue and you want a free replacement. I'm probably right on the money and you'll likely have a not too kind reply. That's OK, because I'm not the one who will decide the outcome of this. Apple will and for you to get an answer, take it to Apple. But, don't be too surprised when they don't offer a free replacement and they offer you an "out of warranty" replacement at about 50% of the cost of the device when it was new.

Dented my Macbook Pro and now it won't start up. Please Help!

Hello. I have searched and searched and cannot find a solution.
Last night I was putting the finishing touches on my dissertation and accidentally dropped a tape dispenser on my 1-year-old MacBook Pro - it hit just to the left of the trackpad and left a nice little dent! After the "incident", I was attempting to pull up Word and the machine completely froze. I turned Mr. Mac off by holding down the power button and when I tried to restart, I never got past the Apple logo with the little spinning circle. After trying many times to restart, I made it to my desktop only twice, and after the dock appeared (with no menu bar above or desktop icons), the machine froze again. Each time, I heard the hard drive working until the big freeze.
I was able to boot off of the Leopard install disc and ran "repair disk" on my hard drive - no errors were found. Tried restarting again and got nothing. I have since tried restarting with various key combinations and the machine only responded to "C" and "Option".
This morning, I searched again and decided to try the "optioncommand+pr" to reset the PRAM as suggested to another damsel in distress with a similar issue. Now, when I try to restart, I get the gray screen followed by the chime, and then nothing - no hard drive working, no Apple logo, no spinning circle, nothing. My install CD will not spin and I none of the start-up key combinations work. It just sits there staring at me with that gray screen - laughing because my dissertation is in there somewhere and I can't get it out! Yes, I have backed my maching up on a 500G external hard drive, so I haven't lost much - but I can't access my hard drive without Mr. Mac! And I am a lonely Mac owner here - no others to borrow!
I am going to an Apple Store on Saturday, but I thought I would give you guys a chance to save my life first. Any suggestions for this girl and her Mac would be great! I am defending my dissertation next week and I'm about one small crisis from a major meltdown!!!!!!
Thanks!

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

How much will it cost to repair an accidental dent in my laptop?

I recently accidentally dropped my 13" Macbook Pro and got two small dents/scratches on the aluminum front of the computer. It's really bothering me and I would like to get it fixed but I'm not sure how much it would cost bringing it to the Apple store. I've read some answers and it says that the price range is between $626 - 1,200. I have AppleCare BUT I'm not sure that AppleCare will cover cosmetic blemishes. It's a bit worrisome and I don't wish to spend so much money.
I would prefer not to exchange the computer because I know you can do that but I highly doubt Apple would allow me to get a new computer (considering the scratches are rather really small). The scratches are really just bothersome.
Thanks so much!

Dented MacBook Pro case and lid

The top right corner of the lid and bottom right corner of the base of the late 2008 macbook pro are slightly dented. I've had my Macbook Pro for about 3 weeks now and just got round to opening it last week and after further inspection this past week I've noticed today the lid and base has a small dent in it. Looking at the corners i can see clearly they're not rounded the same and the base corner is grazed and lighter colour of aluminum.
I've kept my mbp in the box for 3 weeks even this past week when ive been using it, its never been out the house and i've been working on it at my desk away from me damaging it. So I have received the product like this.
I rang up AppleCare and they said to take it to a local repair centre, which is 30 miles away, ill be going there on Monday.
Has anyone found any dents on their macbook pros?
I have AppleCare that I paid for at the time of the laptop purchase.
What will Apple do? Will they replace it? Since its dented..and the new casing technology...it'll be pretty difficult and time consuming to just replace the case dont you think ?
What do you think they do, and what normally happens in this situation anybody know?
How long do you think the repair will take?
I don't expect to pay the amount of money I have done for this for it to come with these problems. First day i opened it i noticed greasy finger prints and marks on keyboard, i used the cloth included to get rid of these, but just noticing this dent, its really annoyed me. My came straight from the factory I think, I ordered it the day they were released, about an hour after I recall and waited a couple of weeks for it to be delivered. Now this...
Thanks for any responses in advance.

I have a tiny pinhole dent on my late '08 Mac on the top of the lid in between the apple logo and the edge (also purchased near rls date). I'm not sure if it was there when I purchased, but I don't think so. However, I'm suffering from cognitive dissonance as I treat this think like a baby. It really aggravates me... I've tried to pop it out (rather miserably) with a suction cup to no avail. What recourse do you think I'd have with Apple. I'd definitely like to get it fixed. These new aluminum body macs are far too prone to denting, because if I caused the dent, it wansn't from any overt action... I haven't even taken the thing outside since I've had it... sits on a computer desk at all times. HELP, I must have OCD because it bugs me to look at!
I also think these books heat up way too much as my cpu hovers at near 80F (~78) when under full load, according to iStat, but that's another story.

TSA dented my MacBook Pro, what to do?

OK, I just got back from LaGuardia airport in NYC and I just now notice that TSA dented my laptop. When my laptop was going through the X-Ray I heard a thud as they were pulling out my Mac. I didn't see anything wrong with it, so I put it back in my bag and got on the plane. I need to know what do to now, my MacBook is still under warranty but I don't know if Apple will fix it. Only the bottom base is dented and nothing major is damaged. Will Apple cover it? If so, what should I do, and if not, what should I do? Thanks in advance.

To confirm what the others have said, Apple will not cover the damage to your system under warranty. I don't know if you have any recourse with TSA, particularly since you couldn't report the problem right away. You can try their claims office, though:
http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/customer/claims/index.shtm
You'll find instructions and the appropriate forms there.
If they won't reimburse you for the damage, you'll have to look to homeowner's insurance or possible credit-card coverage. Or just live with the dent if the system is otherwise working properly and the dent hasn't affected any functionality (including battery removal).
Good luck.
BTW, if you have future questions about your MacBook Pro, you'll get the quickest and most accurate answers if you ask in the MacBook Pro area. This forum is for the Mac Pro, Apple's minitower system.

Dent in MacBook Pro

So apparently my boyfriend dropped my MacBook Pro and it put a dent in it. He wasn't aware when it happened and I didn't go to use it until today, when I noticed it. The laptop was open when it happened, so the lid is fine. The dent looks sort of like it's wrinkled and it sticks up. It's on the left edge of the laptop, below the keyboard. The lid doesn't close all the way because of it. He is going to pay to have it replaced as long as it's what he can afford. But my question is how much will that cost and how long will it take? It's a separate piece from the bottom plate, and the laptop works just fine. I bought it in June, brand new, from Apple with the AppleCare protection plan, but obviously this is not covered since it is accidental damage. I've just been very aggravated and I'm very particular about the condition of my stuff. I'm not really willing to just "deal with it". Thanks.

When did you buy it? If you bought it in November 12, 2010 or later, it is still under warranty. Unfortunately, the warranty doesn't cover accidents. Usually the Apple Store is nice enough to replace it anyway. But to replace the aluminum unibody... anywhere from $200-500... not sure exactly.

Dent in Macbook pro 15 inch

I have a dent in my Macbook Pro 15 inch, early 2011
It is located near the battery indicator on the side of the laptop.
How much will it approximately cost to fix this?
This dent caused small gap between the unibody and the bottom case.
Thanks a lot

Such dents require replacement of the case itself to repair. I don't know how much it cost in a recent unibody MacBook Pro, but when I dropped my older (non-unibody) MacBook Pro in 2010 and dented it in that same place, I was quoted $610 for the repairs. But, only Apple can tell you what the cost will be for your MacBook Pro.

Small dent on Macbook Pro Retina display screen.

I'm looking for anyone else that has had this problem, ways to either fix it or just what to expect from the Apple Store when I go in. If it has happened to me twice, I feel it can't be too rare. Perhaps just to doccument it as well.
I've had my 15" Macbook Pro with Retina display for 6 months now and other than the screen, I've enjoyed it very much.
Two weeks into having the new computer I found what I thought was a dead pixel (two inches right then two inches up from center) and brought it in. I'd read about such things online and the LG/Samsung debacle but really just wanted my new computer to stay nice and new.
When I got into the store, they told me it was really just a dent in the screen from when dust or something got trapped between the screen and keyboard when it was closed. I thought to myself "Hey, my office is in the basement, maybe something fell down from the bare ceiling and it could have happened." Although I find myself taking very good care of the computer.
They replaced the screen for me under warranty and I instantly went out and got a case, screen cleaner that came with a fine brush to wipe they keyboard off with and a nifty microfiber cloth. Ever since then I've been afraid to close my Macbook Pro and rarely do so. I even asked them what I could do to prevent such things in the future. I was specifically told there wasn't much I could do other than try to ensure it didn't close on any dust. There was no product that would help and they recommended I didn't get a screen protector because it might damage a screen as well. For a laptop it seemed very impractical, but what else was I really supposed to do other than use it as a desktop?
Since then I've moved and no longer work in a basement. Two days ago I noticed the exact same thing appear in very nearly the exact same spot (I didn't document it the first time so I can't be perfectly sure but definitely the ball park of a square cm). I live a ways from an apple store but am visiting home in a week and based off my own experience and others that I have read, they'll replace the screen. I just wanted to esure they had the part since I'll only be in town for the weekend. Apple care had given me a case number and the number of the store, I called to arrange a genius appointment and try to see if they had the part, or at least if they could order it now.
The first man I got on the phone initially said "I don't know why they keep having people call here, let me get a technician for you." A few minutes on hold and I got a woman who claimed very matter of fact "That damage isn't covered, you'll have to pay for the replacement. I just want you to know what to expect when you walk in the store."
This is the same store I had gone to before where they had replaced it without question, I just wanted to try and line everything up before making the trip and having to explain it all when I arrived. I just wish they'd have a plan set out rather than it being up to individual employees.
What can I do to fix this screen? I got this computer based off all the video and photo editing I do and notice it instantly.
Side note, this isn't the same machine that did it before either. When I got my computer back from repair, they had forgotten to plug in the part that has the backlit keyboard. Then when that was fixed, the right side USB didn't function.
The Macbook also had image "ghosting" or retention issues. I hear that can be fixed via software though rather than being just hardware? I don't notice that as much as the little dent however. My display is LP154WT1-SJA1.

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) and just noticed this today in a similar location - from center, mine is about two inches right and one inch up. I thought it was a dead pixel after cleaning it and then realized it was a little dent. The location, when the notebook is closed, corresponds to the flat area between the Command key and Trackpad.
I take very good care of my MacBook and there are certainly no rocks on my keyboard when I close the lid! The screen stands off the keyboard when closed due to the raised trim so this should not have been the cause. I can't think of any other way this might have happened in my situation, though I guess anything is possible.
The effects of this dent are quite visible now in certain circumstances - on a dark background it looks like a little clump of stuck, lit pixels and on a light background it looks like a clump of dead pixels. Too bad, since I bought this, my first Mac, partly for its amazing screen.
