Replacing the outer case??

I was wondering if that in the future if your ipod nano or any other ipod gets so scratched that, can you actually send it somewhere like to apple and pay for a new outer case to be replaced? kind of like buying a new one?
I read the article about buying Bresno and lceaning it with that but what if your scratches are to deep?

Hi
I think you would be able to buy new covers but the price will be more for the parts than to buy an new ipod.
I saw on one site that they sold to ipod g4 frontcover for 80 dollars and a
display for 149 dollar.

My imac 2013 has fallen. Is it possible to replace the outer case?

FRom the desk to the floor, my first imac was suddenly on the floor. Still working fine, no damage in that sense but case deformed and glass broke. It won t be possible to install new glass with deformation.

You can make an appointment at an Apple Store or authorized Apple service center and have them give you an estimate. My guess is that it will be a significant percentage of the cost of a new iMac, given how the iMac is built (there is no separate glass in the Late 2012 iMac; the LCD is bonded to the glass), and so may not be worth repairing, but you may get lucky. Perhaps homeowner's insurance or accidental damage coverage through your credit card plan, if you bought the iMac with a credit card, will help with the cost of repair or replacement.
Regards.

Replacing the upper case?

I had some problems with a bad tech about a year ago on my MBP (mid 2010, unibody), where one of the rubber feet came off, and I took it into the apple store. They decided to replace them for free for me, but in the process dented the unibody lower case so that the bottom does not fit perfectly. Well, they didn't record this, and then told me I would have to pay to fix it and my computer was out of warranty.
In any case, I have just delt with it since, but now, I was thinking that I may just replace the bottom case myself, but can't seem to find anything to tell me the right way to take it apart so that I don't damage anything. I've found some of the cases, online, for around $100, and when I went to the apple store, they told me it was several hundred dollars.
Besides all of my frustration in this not being my fault, I am trying to decide what is my best course of action here. To buy a case and install it myself, or just to sell it (computer works fine, has Mountain Lion, no damage to screen, just some scratches on the bottom of the case, and the dent mentioned), and buy a newer one. Just not sure how much I would get for it, now.

Any have an idea of cost to replace the gold case on a 5s?

Anyone have an idea of cost to replace the gold case on a 5s?

Apple doesn't replace the case or sell the parts. Your only option with Apple is to replace the phone. The out-of-warranty replacement cost with a refurb unit for the 5s is $269 (in the USA)

If i want to replace the back case for an iphone 3g and i provide the back case, will Apple do the actual replacement for me?

The black back case on my iphone 3g is cracked. i would like to replace the back case with a new white one. I saw the video on how to do the replacement on youtube and found it complicated. if i take the new back case and the phone to Apple, will the replace the broken back case for me?

Regarding the iPhone 3G, the only repair that Apple Genius does on that device is the Front Screen Replacement. So they could help you get the front assembly back on when you are done with the repair. To give you a better idea, the Genius do not even replace the battery on the iPhone 3G. Apple will not help you with this repair.

Why do we have to replace the top case to replace a keyboard?

I see replacement keyboards sold all over the place online which means they must be able to com apart from the case. If this wasn't possible then why are these parts for sale and who are they intended for? People keep saying that you must replace the top case but you can buy just the keyboard from many sources. Can someone clear this up please? There wouldn't be a market for just the keyboad if you couldn't do it, so it's hard to believe it can't be done.....

Found two places on ifixit that explain how to do this... for anyone that may be looking for the same answer. You do NOT have to replace the entire upper case

How can I replace the out of the box photos with my own when music is playing?

How can I replace the out of the box photos with my own when music is playing?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Select any photos you want to share with the Apple TV using the iTunes advanced menu (using iPhoto is the better option but a folder will work). Once all the photos you want are shared, go to settings > screensaver on the Apple TV and choose which of those shared photos you want to use with your screensaver.

Replacing the bottom case on my 1.33 PB

I just replaced the screen on my PB.I just picked up a mint condition bottom case
{My bottom case is in bad shape} I checked my iFixit.com and cannot find a guide on how to replace the bottom case.Any ideas? Thanks

I forgot to say that usually I put full links because it's easier for people to see that what's being posted is a link that they need to go to. Also helps them visualize what the link is for future reference. I know you've seen some of my old posts where I do utilize embedded links instead of putting the huge/long web addresses.
For instance, I could easily say, "Go look at this LINK for more info." They'd click on the word thread and never make a connection. Some may miss it altogether, overlooking the fact that it is a link. Those that notice it won't have a reference point going into the page. It'd be better to have something to look at.
Like, go to this link for more information:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6454427
Or even, see the following link, "Thermal Paste Thermal Tape Question Logic Board" for more information.
You can see that in this, case, the link doesn't really present an issue because it's not long. And I don't think, for the times I haven't used the HREF method, that I've put drastically long links that wrap the page. (Also, I e-mailed you earlier about something, in case you don't check, if you know what I mean).

By the way, that thread may be of help when replacing the bottom case, since you'll need thermal paste and Kapton tape on hand, even a spudger--Apple "black stick"--during the installation process.
(And we might be reminded, you and I, of going off topic. And we wouldn't want that now, would we?).

Replaced the bottom case on MBP (2006)...now screen is blank!? Need help ASAP...please!

I just replaced the bottom case on my 2006 MBP (model A1211). I previously replaced the top case, optical, and disk drives and all has been running as good as new for months. I used the instructions on ifixit.com to replace the bottom case, following the instructions exactly. Now when I go to turn the computer on, the screen doesn't turn on. I thought maybe a connection or screw was loose, so I disconnected and reconnected everything. All connections are tight, no screws are loose or missing. What am *I* missing??

Nothing at all, guys? This has to be fairly common and I'm just missing something obvious?

How long does it take for the Genius Bar to replace the bottom case of my Macbook?

I bought this Macbook on Christmas Eve '09 and by last year summer, the bottom casing was peeling off and I now know that Apple is replacing macbook bottom cases free of charges regardless of warranty status. What I would like to know is, if I take it to the Genius Bar, would I have to wait for more than a day? Or would it take as much as one hour?

I would say that it depends on the store. I would give your local Apple store a call and ask them. If they have the parts in store I believe you'll be in an out as long as you make an appointment.

How much to replace the whole case??

I droped my powerbook on a wet stone/concrete floor. The whole case was seriousely dented and scratched but luckily and amazingly the powerbook still works fine perfectly.
But I'd like to know how much it is to replace with the new case??
Thank you!

Looking at what it does and should cost to replace just the outer skins, I mean really, it's just aluminum, it's not like it's a precious metal or that there is a shortage of aluminum. And the assembly line for this, they probably pump out cases for PB's with ridiculous speed and ease @ this point. The hardest & most costly aspect of it is probably labor for the spot welding for the support baffles that would compartmentalize the case of a pb. But again assembly line mentality and economy of scales should keep costs low, add that Chinese labor is doing it and I would think the price should come in pretty low. The labor to swap components wholesale from one box to the other would also be a cost, but I've seen notebook motherboard changes that don't take anymore than 40-45 minutes and that's a first timer swapping it out. At any rate, it remains expensive to repair. Like a badly wrecked car, sometimes just parting out the damage gets you close to simply replacing it with new.
