MacBook part replacements

Hi:
I've recently picked up a MacBook for a great price that was damaged when the individual dropped it. The left hinge was detached from the unit and the power adapters' input was a bit out of place due to the fall.
I've reseated the power adapter input, but the L.C.D. screen, along with all of the peripheral cables associated with the screen must be replaced.
I was able to get access to the machine via target boot on my MacBookPro. However, I'm a bit worried about the Logic Board: Prior to booting in target mode, I was able to boot the machine normally and see that the display is badly damaged, which is not a problem, since I can find a cheap replacement part that I've used on a number of customers' MacBooks that work fine.
After dissembling the unit, I've found that a couple of cables linked to the Logic Board will have to be replaced.
I was wondering what any tech-savvy members on the forum would do in this case.
I was thinking of purchasing the necessary parts from a dealer that I do business with and selling the unit.
I'm also looking for an external enclosure to mount the H.D.D. on my Quad, G5.
What I'm most concerned about is the Logic Board: Although I was able to get the machine to boot normally -- a good sign -- , I'm concerned that it may fail due to the drop.
Any advice on this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen

This is not an issue we can help with. Take it up with your local vendor as you have already done.

Macbook 2009 parts replacement delivery time

Hi,
I would like to know the lead time for Macbook warranty parts replacement.
Tnx

you are asking other users, we are not apple and have no idea.

Is the frame around the screen (where the bezel is located) included in the Macbook case replacement program?

I have had to have the top case on my macbook (white) replaced may times as I'm sure most of the owner of that paticular macbook have had to do. In the past I have experienced cracks on the handrest/keyboard portion of the case, but this time I have a crack where the bezel is right above the screen. Will Apple replace that frame for free also?

Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275. They will take care of you if you explain your situation politely.

My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced.

My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced. Is it internal battery for both, new logic board required, bad hard drive, or bad RAM?
Help.

Run an Apple Hardware Test using the original installation disk that has the AHT instructions on it.
Try SMC and PRAM resets:

It is possible that you may need a new PRAM battery.

4s microphone has always malfunctioned (people can't hear me) for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem?

4s microphone has malfunctioned on most outgoing calls for many months. People can't hear me for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s when Apple Store thought it was probably a hardware problem, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem??? I think so! [Possible] good news: for the past 2 days, since updating to 5.1.1, no one has reported problems hearing me!
I'm concerned Applecare folks did not admit to me that so many other 4s users also has malfunctioning mics.

Why would that even matter?
The device obviously has a hardware issue and is under warranty, take it to Apple for replacement and move on with life. No reason to make things difficult.

Replacing Macbook Pro parts with Macbook parts...........???

I have a MacBook pro that has recently bit the dust and is out of warranty. I'm 99% positive it is a combination of the hard drive and the logic board failing. I have a new MacBook that I hardly ever use and I am wondering if I can replace the faulty parts in my MacBook pro with the parts from my working MacBook.
I know replacing the hard drive on my mbp with the hard drive
from my mb will work just fine... But here's my longshot question.. Can I replace the logic board in my mbp with the logic board from my mb? Are they interchangable?
If not, will my mb accept the ram from my mbp? I may just throw my 2 GB RAM from my mbp into my mb to tide me over until the new mbp comes out/I can afford it.
Thanks.

Well i'm not too sure about the logic board, but i do know that the ram in your macbook pro will work in your macbook.

IBook/Powerbook superdrive used for macbook pro replacement part?

Can I use a superdrive from an ibook or powerbook as a replacement part for my macbook pro?

I doubt the iBook drives would fit as Apple tended to use slightly larger drives but out of an Aluminium PowerBook you might have some luck.

Macbook pro replacement shell

got my 13-inch MacBook Pro for 21st birthday and have ended up with a slight dent in the shell, does anybody know how much it will cost me to get the shell replaced? Or if AppleCare will cover it (suspect not as it isn't anything to do with the laptop)?
Thanks in advance,
Jake

AppleCare is for manufacturing defects, not accidents.
Final cost is dictated by the Genius Bar. Cheaper if just the bottom part of the shell, because it is just a few screws. Mor expensive for the upper case because of transplanting parts. But we are just users like you.

Does apple still stock white 2008 MacBook Parts, What are the costs?

Have a 2008 MacBook and Need a few bits Replacing such as a missing key, Click isnt to great, New Screen bezel too? Do apple still do these parts?
Many Thanks

Take it to your local Apple retailer to find out if you can still purchase them. Or look for them at iFixIt.

Replace the whole machine after 4 times of part replacement failure.

i have this macbook pro with retina and the screen is significantly yellower than all the other macs, and the bottom part is even yellower than the top. i went to the genius bar for 4 times, and they all did recognized the problem, and each time i got a replacement to the screen itself. but after one day or two the yellow problem will occur again.
so generally under this situation can i ask for a replacement to the whole machine if i bring all the genius bar records to the apple store next time?

Yes. If you raise your problem to a high enough level after that many attempts at reapir it should be possible.
Thanks for marking my last reply with the greenie.

How to get a macbook pro replacement under warranty?

I bought my Macbook pro 6 months ago, and it's still under warranty right now. I used some laptops of SONY VAIO & Microsoft before, and I did not experience any problems with them in the first 2 years. This year, I decided to give Macbook pro a try because I have heard many compliments about this laptop from my friends and advertisements. When I opened the box and used it in the 1st time, I noticed that the button CAPS LOCK wasn't good, and I had to press it 2-3 times to make it work. It has happened for 6 months, until now. I felt a little bit disappointed, but I still use it because I am an easy customer. But recently, whenever I turn on the SLEEP MODE for my laptop and work with my laptop later on, my laptop often experiences the PAUSE or freezing. I don't know how to describe it, but there is a round circle with rainbow colors appear on the screen and pause everything/programs is running. My laptop has never been felt out or scratch. It's just 6 months since the day I purchased the laptop. I should not experience this trouble with my laptop because I think the Macpro is better than the SONY VAIO or other laptops. I feel like I was sold a refurbished Mac, and I am really disappointed. My friend told me to bring my Mac to be fixed in Apple store, but I don't want to continue using a fixed, refurbished Mac. Can I get a replacement? If I bought it in Bestbuy, could I got replacement in Apple Store or Bestbuy store?

Can I get a replacement?
No - see below

Which new Macbook to replace my 2008 Macbook Pro?

I am about to buy a new replacement for my 5 year old 15" Macbook Pro which I have sworn by, but is slowly letting go.
I would like someones opinion: should I replace it with the new 13 inch Macbook Air, or 13 inch Macbook Pro?
I would use it mostly for day to day work and fun, but also professionally for basic Photoshopping, Webdesign, and less frequently heavier programs such as AutoCAD, Sketchup and rendering software, as well as Final Cut.
I dont mind having the fastest and best of all to do this, but the system should be capable of running these apps smoothly.
My current system does fine, so will use it as a reference point with the following specs:
15" Macbook Pro Spring 2008 (yes, neither my keyboard nor trackpad work = lots of cables!)
Mac Os 10.5.8
2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
6 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks so much for advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

I would recommend a 15" MBP for your needs.
Although the your applications may run adequately on the 13" MBA or 13" MBP, the lack of dedicated video GPU and dual-core vs quad-core may limit the useable life of your next MacBook.

Macbook to replace my PB G41.5 15"

Hi all
I love posting in new sections:)
I've got a PB G4 1.5 15" and I was thinking of replacing it with a macbook. Is this a good idea? I'm looking to move into the technology but not with a MB pro as yet because I'm sure there are great things to come with the MB pro.
The MB is however not too prices and offers almost everything the MB pro does suffice as to say the illuminaing keybooard and dedicated graphics (Apple why?).
I'll need it for design work (web) and for general use of everything it word, safari and skype.
Well what do you guys think, is it a good switch?
-G

I just switched from a Powerbook 15" and I am very happy with the MB. Even though I run a mac-based lab for video editing and curriculum development, I use my laptop for email, word docs, surfing etc... I am very pleased with the MB performance and I love the new design. The fit and finish are what I expect from Apple. I really think that the decision needs to be made based on the type of programs that you need to run. The MB is what it is, an iBook replacement. And I have to say, I am very pleased.

How to get permission to a supplementary download of a registered LR 5 to a newly bought Macbook Air, replacing an old one?

A few months ago I bought a Leica Camera and obtained in this connection a free download and a licence for Lightroom 5. The latter was downloaded to partly my stationary Mac Pro, partly my Macbook Pro, the latter so far being only used when travelling. A week's time ago I realised that my Macbook Pro, being more than 5 year old, could not any longer function properly with my hugs picture files, and not at least LR did not work well. Consequently I have now bought a new Macbook Air on which I would like to use my LR. So I would like to know if can obtain the right of a supplementary download to my new computer. How to proceed in such a situation, I can provide all evidence, such as LR 5 licence, TAN, etc to be needed by Adobe, and of course I fully agree that the LR-programme, at present on my Macbook Pro be cancelled. Any advice will be much appreciated.
