Macbook (white) rubber part coming off.

I have been looking around the internet and I see that this is a common problem. I was just wondering if the Apple repair shop will fix it even though I no longer have insurance, and since it's the older white macbook and not the newer unibody one.

Kinda looks like this

Bottom of MacBook Air Bent and Coming Off

I just received a MacBook Air from a seller on eBay. It was said to have "minor cosmetic damage," but it showed up with the entire bottom of it bent and coming off (right near where you insert the power plug). I'm not sure if this is something Apple can easily fix, or if I need to get a refund from the company and try to find a new laptop.
It almost looks like it might be dangerous to use as is - it seems like part of the computer underneath is exposed! Here are some photos to show what I'm dealing with. Anybody else ever had a similar issue? Any insight on what move to make next?

Yes. Get a refund. That is not "minor cosmetic damage". It is 'major structural damage'.

Recent experience with rubber feet coming off?

The top left rubber foot of my MBP bought in July 2011 has come off. My Apple Care expires today (grr) and my local store closes in 10 minutes, so there's no way I'll make it there. I've seen some past threads about this issue, but most are from 2011 or earlier, when rubber feet weren't sold separately.
So, what are my options? Most of the stuff I've read seems to recommend changing the whole bottom case. I'm hoping that's not necessary in my case - only the exterior part of the contraption has come off. Can I just buy a new rubber foot and stick only the exterior part back on where the old one was? Is there a way to stick the old foot back on (I still have it, but am hesitant to use another type of glue in case it damages the computer)? Any other options I'm missing? I've already had to pay for a new battery and cable that weren't covered by the Apple Care, so I'm hoping to avoid any additional fees!
Thanks for reading!

Sorry to bump off this topic, has anyone experienced this?

Hey my macbook white unibody is coming up with a dark screen that is telling me to restart, how do i get rid of it?

I actually have a couple questions.
I bought a used Macbook 2009 unibody that still has snow leopard. It recently has been coming up with a darkened screen telling me to restart.
My first question is how do i get rid of that? Next i don't no the computer password (luckily its not required to get on the computer or applications) is there a way to change it? Can i wipe the hard drive, its full of personal files? lastly if i download mountain lion, will it wipe the hard drive or get rid of microsoft office?

You need to contact the vendor to obtain the password as well as the original install disk. There is little you can do without it.
It sounds like you are getting kernel panics. These are usually hardware related, often due to faulty or loose RAM modules.

Charger wire rubber coming off?

Hi,
The charger wire that comes with the 3gIphone, if the white rubber that covers the internal wiring is coming off, is that bad? my wire, the end which you connect into the computer or into the wall adapter, that section the white rubber is coming off for some reason and i can see the wires inside, is it still safe to use?

It is safe to use, but this is covered under the iPhone's one year warranty.
If you are in the U.S., you can call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466 and AppleCare will ship you a replacement USB cable, or you can make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Finish coming off Macbook Pro around bottom of keyboard

I just purchased my Macbook Pro about a year ago now and there's a spot where the finish is coming off. The little strip below the bottom row of keys has a little spot where the finish is rubbing off.
What should I do about this.. is it fixable? Also my Warranty just ran out.. will this be costly?
Cheers,
Andy

When it happened to my PowerBook after about six months, I was quoted a couple of hundred dollars to replace the top. I decided just to live with it, and when I bought a MBP to replace it, my first accessory was some surface protectors from http://apeelz.com.
Warranty wouldn't have covered it anyway, unless you managed to find a particularly sympathetic customer support representative-- AppleCare doesn't generally cover cosmetic issues.

Cracks on either side of the hinge on my Macbook White Unibody (purchased mid-2010)

Hi there. My Macbook White (purchased mid-2010) has developed cracks at either end of the hinges, and they are beginning to move up the back of the screen. I am no longer under warranty, and was wondering if they would repair it, and how much it costs?
Also, my friend had a similar problem, and by the by off to university next year so funds are tight, and he, having had to pay £180 recieved a brand new Macbook Pro. I wondered if I would perhaps be able to benefit from the same treatment?
Cheers.

i had the exact same problem with mine and i hadnt even noticed it ! i took it in to the apple store for another problem that i needed doing and the person serving me notcied it. Now my laptop was out of warranty, but the guy said that they would repair it for free. I thought this might have been a gesture of goodwill as i have had so many problems but when i looked it up, they had done it for alot of people. Plus they did it in one day.
but if you have to pay the bill said
Display Module                   £150.00
Hardware Repair labor         £24.00
VAT                                  £34.80
Total                                  £ 208.80

Windows 8.1 on Macbook White Mid 2010!

Hey! I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook White unibody mid 2010 model. When I got it I noticed that I needed Windows 8 an application I'm using alot so I installed it. When I installed it I had to install boot camp to get my sound to work and the special keys on my built in keyboard. But the Boot Camp driver I installed says that it's not compatible with this computer model. What do I do now? How do I get it to work? Is there any way for me to use Windows 8 or do I have to re-install Windows 7 and if so how?

Quick update -- I've tried resetting the pram, running the windows startup repair, and running bootrec.exe through the command prompt. No luck with those so far.
Just opened disk utility and saw the screenshot below....could be part of it, but I've deleted the partitions several times...
