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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Can Macbook Pro replace a desktop?

    I'm a graphic design student and also do a little freelance work as a designer and photographer.  I need a new laptop, one that will be my only computer, I don't have a desktop.  Can I do everything I need to with the Macbook Pro, 15" with 8GB RAM?  I also am about to upgrade my camera and will be shooting 36.3 megapixel images and want to make sure I've got a device that can handle that.  I've never been a mac user, other than in school, and am not sure where I stand on the Mac v. PC debate.  Mostly I just want something that will work really well and last me for years, that I can do everything I need to do on, and since I'm pretty transient be portable enough for me to take anywhere.  Can I get away with just using a Macbook pro and not have a desktop?

    Macs will typically last for quite some time. The machine I'm currently writing this on is 4 years old and still working as well as it did when it was new (although I did recently have to replace a failed hard drive - no computer can avoid that). As an additional data point, my wife owns a business that has a small school for severely autistic children. I gave them an old Mac PowerBook G4 several years ago. At this point, that machine is 10 years old, and it's so badly dented on all four corners that it won't close properly anymore... and it still works! I've got an even older PowerBook G3 in a cabinet somewhere... if I felt the need to pull it out and use a machine so old that it doesn't even have wifi, I still could, though realistically I just keep it around for sentimental reasons.
    As for not having a desktop, I haven't had a desktop computer in more than a decade. A good laptop fills the need nicely. If you need a larger screen sometimes, you can always hook up an external monitor. If you need very high-end graphics processing power, laptops can't really match what's available in a desktop machine. A 15" MacBook Pro should meet your stated needs, though.

  • Old photobooth library from macbook pro replaced new photobooth library

    I had a Macbook pro before, and switched to a macbook air 6 months ago.
    I took a photo today on Photobooth, and when I went to see it, a popup window (don't recall what it said) came up and asked if I want to store into a specific folder. (Can't remember what it said verbatim).
    Photobooth opens but my macbook air photobooth library has been replaced by my old macbook pro photobooth library.
    The photos I took today were really important, and I am wondering if there is any way to retrieve them.

    iamrachelx wrote:... if there is any way to retrieve them.
    Maybe.  Because you don't know what was said or what you did (exactly), this will be trial and error.
    (1) try making another image and see if saving that one gives you a clue as to where the previous ones went.
    (2) Control-Click on your User/Pictures/Photo Booth Library folder and select "Show package Contents."
    You may find your images in one of the folders there.  If you do, DO NOT MOVE THEM.
    Instead, Option-Drag the ones you want to work on to another folder to get a copy you can use.

  • Macbook pro replacement problem

    About a month ago I purcased a macbook pro retina from malaysia. But now im in the UK. I faced some problem with the display . So i brought to the retail store in the UK. I was told that , they cant replace my macbook but they can only repair it because i didnt buy it from a UK retail store? Isnt it suppose to be a international warranty? Why cant i get it replaced then ?

    Replace? Where did you get that idea?
    Your warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship from the date you received it. Apple will repair or replace AT APPLE'S DISCRETION.
    You are entitled to have them put it into working order at no cost to you. You do not get a new one because you feel like it.

  • Macbook Pro replacement repair question

    I wasnt sure where to ask this question so my apologies if it is miscategorized.
    I have a MBP that has a bad screen an will be taking it to the genius bar tomorrow morning to get it fixed under apple care. The entire screen is going to need to be replaced. It has black spots all over it like the screen is separating or something.
    My question is:
    Does anyone know how apple handles this sort of thing? Will they take it for a week or 2 and repair it or will they give me a replacement? Its about a year old Macbook Pro 2.33 Core 2 Duo. I ask because it really need it replaced for work and school but.. I cannot live without it. I use it everyday and really can't go without it for that long.
    If you have had experience with this please share! I would like to know what to expect.
    Thank you in advance!

    Experiences have run in both directions. I think it all hinges on which genius you speak to on which day. More often than not, with the age of your computer, you will need to send it in for repairs. They are more likely to swap a current model.

  • MacBook Pro replacement battery.

    My MacBook Pro shows "Service Battery" in the menu bar.  The battery has had about 850 charge cycles, so even though it still holds a charge for a few hours, I think I should replace it.
    I first looked at replacing the battery with one from ifixit at http://tinyurl.com/arjerqo.  Unfortunatley they are out of stock, and I don't know when they expect a new shipment.
    So I went to the Apple store, and now I am really frustrated.  Apple won't sell me a new battery off the shelf.  The only way I can get a new battery from Apple, is by bringing in my computer, and they will swap out the battery, i.e. they keep the battery that I now have, which is still perfectly good.  When I asked them why, I was told that replacing the battery is a "dangerous" operation.  Nonsense, nothing could be further from the truth.  I have been inside computers since the 70s, swapping a battery is very easy.  And when I asked why they want to keep my perfectly good battery, they could not give me a good reason. 
    So my question is, ... does anybody know a reputable place where I can get a good replacement battery for my MBP.  I am not looking for the cheapest battery, I am looking for a good battery, as good as the ones from ifixit.
    Thanks in advance.

    I forgot to mention that the model number of my MBP is A1278.
    PowerbookMedic supposedly sells a battery at $20 more then Apple charges, without the guarantee that it is a genuine OEM battery.
    OWC does not sell batteries for this model.

  • Late 2006 MacBook Pro replacement keyboard: firmware update required?

    My late-2006 2.33GhZ MacBook Pro is still going strong -- except that a group of keys on the internal keyboard stopped working two weeks ago, requiring me to replace it. It was a delicate operation, but it worked like a charm.
    Shortly thereafter, though, I started noticing a symptom that jogged my memory: when I'd go to type something, quite often the first character would be dropped, as if the keyboard wasn't waking from its low-power state quickly enough. This had been a common complaint with this model, and Apple addressed it with the MacBook Pro Keyboard Firmware Update released in 2008. I recall installing it and very specifically noticing the problem had vanished.
    So of course now I'm wondering: is it possible my new keyboard needs the firmware update too? You can see the catch-22 I'm in: I can't install it, since the computer is convinced the updater has already been run. when I do run it, I get a generic message that the update isn't necessary. I even tried removing:
    /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.BuiltInKybdFirmwareUpdate.bom
    to see if that would enable the updater to run, but no dice.
    Of course it's possible I'm simply losing my mind, and the keyboard already has the update. Could someone else with this exact model -- someone who has run the keyboard firmware update -- tell me what version their internal keyboard is at, based on:
    System Profiler -> Hardware -> USB -> Apple Internal Keyboard
    Many thanks!

    Hi Eric,
    Any resolution to this? I do not have the exact same MacBook - mine is a 17" MacBook Pro, but in case it helps you, my updated keyboard version is 0.18 using the same installer
    My problem is that when I originally used that software update (over a year ago), it created an intermittent keyboard/trackpad failure. Every 2 days, on a very regular basis, my trackpad and keyboard fail. In order to fix the problem, I go to the Utilities folder and run the "Built-In Keyboard Update Firmware" that the original DMG installer installed there. Once I run that program I'm good for another 2 days. Apple, of course, has no clue to what's going on.
    Why am I telling you all this? I noticed that you are running Snow Leopard. I tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard a couple of weeks ago. After the Snow Leopard install, my keyboard failed like clockwork; however, it turns out that the firmware installer that I have been relying on for the last year to fix my intermittent failures no longer works under Snow Leopard. My phone calls to Apple were a complete waste of time (apparently there is a very low threshold to get on the "Genius Bar"). One of my questions to them was specifically about a way to re-run the installer from the DMG file. They again had no clue, and In the end I had to downgrade to Leopard to get my Keyboard back.
    All that said to let you know that even if you can find a way to re-install the firmware updater (I'd like to know how, if you figure it out), there is a good chance the actual firmware update won't install under Snow Leopard.
    Good luck - let me know how you make out.

  • Macbook Pro replacement hard drive and re-installation of OS X

    My son's Macbook Pro (mid 2009) started crashing on boot up and gave a input output error. I have replaced the original 250gb hard drive with a 750gb drive and also upgraded the ram from 2 to 8. Finally I have also replaced the battery. I am using Leopard installation dvd to re-install the software but can only progress as far as the screen 'Install Mac OS X' but there is no disc offered to install it on. By using Disk Utility the only disc shown is the dvd. Pressing the 'New Image' tab I entered 'Save As' 750gb WD HD and 'custom size' as 750 gb. Utility Disk informs me that the disc is only .75mb? Any suggestions to solving my problem and completing the installation program? 

    Niel, I've checked the connection to the hard drive and all is good but as a check I have disconnected and re-connection the cable to the hard drive and the board. I have also 'listened' to the hard drive and it appears to be spinning. Unfortunately, the Snow Leopard installation disc gets no further with its installation. Are Macbook Pro's of this age prone to cable breaks, or am I using the wrong disc for a full OS X installation, if Snow Leopard is an just as update? Is there anyway to add the drive using Disk Utility and if so how do I do it?

  • Macbook Pro - Replacement motherboard graphic card

    During the summer my macbook pro suffered graphic card failure with its 256mb Nvidia 9600gt graphic card. Apple luckily covered the problem and I was fine, however, did apple resolve this problem in the new motherboard I got or is it the same kind? Is this likely to happen again? I intend to use this computer long term and I would hate for this to occur again.

    I have the same issue with my MBP also. I don't know but i see more and more of this issue accruing every time I'm on here. I'm a bit lucky that they are repairing it for free even though i never purchased a Apple Care. hahaha. Whew lucky me!!
    I took this article "Distorted Video or no Video issue" http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 and showed it to a Mac Guises and they were able to honor it. I had to take it to them twice for them to honor it though.
    I was a bit disappointed that the first tech didn't offer me this repair when it was available for awhile now. I had to come on here and find that article myself and take it back in the 2nd time, .... this time showing them that same article and they were able to honor it.
    I hope to get my back soon. I'm left in the cold without it.
    I hope those of you who are going through same thing, ... bring a copy of that article in and hopefully they can get yours fixed also.
