Macbook pro 2007 metal around screen cracked?

There are cracks on either side in the exact same place. I havent damaged the laptop at all (no dropping it or anything) the cracks just showed up 2 days ago. I know that its a 2007 laptop but can this be replaced by any chance?
Thanks for your help !

Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
If this does not help, make an appointment and take the computer to the Apple store.

  • Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do

    Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do. I live in India and I have gone to authorised Apple technicians and they infomed me that I will have to replace the LCD panel as well even though it is not cracked, is this really true or can I just change the outer shell? Also they say that they cannot do it in India... can I do it myself at home?

    Since it is 3 years old find a local repair shop that can replace the glass Only. you may have to send it out to a Non Local shop for that but there are some that specialize in doiing that on Mac notebooks.
    Apple will ony replace the complete screen enclosure with all normal parts included, LCD, Camera, Aluminum housing and glass as one unit. Which is very expensive. Or you could just use it as a desktop system with external monitor and buy a new notebook.

  • MacBook Pro 2007, black screen...

    Hey, I've got a MacBook Pro 2007 edition, and it's in immaculate condition, the other night I put the lid down, went to bed, got up, and now it won't do anything. The computer is on, it chimed, keyboard is illuminated, tried clearing the PRAM. But it doesn't work. The apple logo doesn't illuminate, nor does the webcam green light. Any hints?

  • MacBook Pro (2007) is running dangerously hot!

    The MacBook Pro (2007 model with 17" screen) keeps running hot when I'm not doing much on it. The fans run around 5500RPM. Just recently, I tried running some big apps on it, so it was using the CPU a lot, and the CPU went to 221˚F (above boiling point!).
    The laptop is on a flat, hard surface with plenty of ventalation. I tried propping the back up with an old cellphone, and that helped reduce the temperature a bit but did not fix the problem. Of course, I checked Activity Monitor (and iStat Menus) to verify that the CPU was not being used a lot (<10%) when I was not doing much on it. The ambient temperature is not very high (around 70˚F). I checked the vents, and they are dust-free.
    The battery has already exploded in the past, and I had to replace it. That was probably caused by this heat problem. Does anyone know why this could be happening or how I can fix it?

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    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 bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the Lion recovery partition, if present.

  • Problem with battery for MacBook Pro 2007

    I have a problem with battery that was replaced during video card service 1.5 years ago
    Battery health was around 80% and it stopped to work, I continued to use notebook with power cable and after week the battery become like this!
    spoke with person in Apple store and got answer that it is not covered by Apple and I will need to buy another new battery.
    For me it looks like manufacturing problem and I'm not expecting that after 1 year my battery will die like this! Thanks that it didn't explode!
    What I should do in such case?

    Thanks for your reply!
    All my battery story is ending with bad taste...
    I always relied on quality of the Apple products, it brought me to change all computers and phones to Apple brand. I was ready to pay extra for their products...
    This battery has an Apple brand on it and I'm expecting that Apple will take some responsibility for it.
    First battery on my MacBook Pro 2007 worked without any problem for 4 years, then it was replaced by Apple service tech person for unknown reason. This "new" battery failed just after ending of 1 year warranty coverage and even deformed in such scarry way. And now I don't have any option to ask if there is possibility that I'm experience a manufacturing defect! And I know that it is possible, internet is full of negative comments for these batteries!
    Now I'm asking myself again, if it worst to buy Apple products? Are these products have proper quality?

  • MacBook Pro 2007 battery not recognized, not charging but working

    I recently bought a new battery for my MacBook Pro 2007. As said in the title, it seems to work alright, but it's not recognized by the computer (X in the battery icon), and I don't think it's charging.
    I tried to reset the SMC, no change. Unfortunately, I don't have any other computer to test my battery and my powercord on, to see if it's coming from either one of them. And I don't have an Apple Store around.
    Do you have any suggestions ?

    Take it in for service. Your screen probably needs to be replaced.

  • How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side.  E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

  • Macbook Pro 2007 - Do I need original disks to install OS or can I install 10.6 dmg from USB?

    Hi,
    I recently bought a Macbook Pro 2007 and admittedly coming from Windows I am a relative novice with Macs. So, I made a purchase without realizing the important role the original OS disks play
    I checked the OS and it says it is running OS X 10.5.8. I had a go at installing a different OS on a partition, but got an error message saying: "Filesystem verify or repair failed".
    So, not being all that familiar with Macs, how do I go about installing a new OS? I am pretty clueless with that stuff on the Mac. Do I need to have the original OS disks in order to install a more recent OS? Or can I use the 10.6 dmg file that I have to install from a USB?
    If I were to purchase a more recent OS (than the one that came originally with the Mac), would I be able to install that? In all cases I do not need to back up any of the existing data.
    Any feedback would be much appreciated.
    Thank

    If you want to erase the computer's hard drive to rid it of the previous owner's leavings (always a good idea with a used computer), and then install Snow Leopard, that should all go without a hitch. The present Leopard installation will be wiped along with everything else. But the iLife applications that were preinstalled on the machine at the factory and included on the discs that were originally shipped with it are not part of the OS and won't be included in the Snow Leopard installation. You'll need to purchase and reinstall those separately, and you can do so either by buying an iLife '11 installer DVD from an Apple Store, or by buying the individual iLife apps that you want from the Mac App Store. You'll have access to the App Store after applying the free OS updates to the final version of Snow Leopard, v. 10.6.8.
    Once you can use the App Store, you'll also have the option of downloading the upgrade to OSX Lion, if your computer meets its system requirements.

  • My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

    My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
    I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
    Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
    I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • Can I take a hard drive from a different laptop and replace it in my MacBook pro 2007

    My MacBook pro (2007) has  failing hard drive. Can I remove the hard drive from a different laptop ie. Toshiba, or HP and replace it with the failing hard drive?

    yes you can....but any files/data on the other drive will be gone.  also make sure that the drive you install is a SATA drive which is in your Macbook...
    make sure you have your original install disk if you plan on doing a clean install.

  • Macbook pro 2007

    I have an older macbook pro 2007 and imac intel 2006 model.  What if any issues should I be aware of if I upgrade to Lion and what will not work with my computers.  So far, I have read that my Microsoft office 2004 will not work and possibly my wireless HP printer that is at least 4 years old.

    Any PowerPC apps will not work. Open System Profiler, select Applications from the Software section. Look for PowerPC in the Kind column.
