Rubber pad thing above mic has come off -replacement? will my lcd crack?

hiya,
the little rubber pad on the lid of my 12' ibook, just above the microphone, broke off a few months ago. i thought my ibook would survive so it didnt bother me too much, when i close the lid it does rattle a bit though. my problem is that the one on the other side of the screen is starting to come off too, if it does come off altogether im afraid that when i close my laptop or when it is in my bag (in a case) it could damage the screen because its just banging off the bottom.
does anyone know if i sent it in for repair apple would replace them? its still under warranty, but only for another month. could it actually damage the screen? my previous experience with apple warranty repair is that they wont fix any issues that aren't actually affecting the use of the ibook. (i sent in my ipod in for repair because the plastic ring around where the dock cable goes in broke, but i got it back with a note saying 'no problem found')
i would reall appreciate any response, i am ainxious to do something about it before it comes off, and before my warranty runs out.
thanks, Aoife

oh well thats a bit more promising!:-) thanks for that. id still like to know if anyone thinks apple would fix it, im thinking about selling it in a few months and it would obviously be better if the computer had them!

    The back cover of my macbook pro 13" has come off. Is there a particular glue or adhesive someone can recommend me? Or would it be best to take it in to an authorised apple dealer?

  • TS1292 my code on my itunes card has come off, how can i redeem it with =out the code,

    when trying to take the sticky off the back of the card all the code has come off. I do have receipt for it as i bought in a supermarket today, how can i redeem this itunes card now, as i paid 25pds.

    See this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292
    If you can't get the card to work after perusing that page, as will obviously not be possible if the code has come completely off, contact the iTunes Store Support; instructions are at the bottom of that article.
    Regards.

  • My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again?

    My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again. What do I do to fix this?

    Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.  You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.

    My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time. What do I do to get my phone back on??????

    You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.

    $140 has come out of my visa for itunes games or whatever I have no idea!!! Am very upset by this and given the amount of times and the amount of money within a short space of time there should be some security about this as this is not normal, paticularly when they are kids games.  I need contacted urgently!!

    I have a ipod touch and it shut off and will not come back on. I have pluged it in and still get nothing what can i do?

    Let it charge for an hour or two.
    If it doesn't Coe back on, try a Reset.
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

    Hi Kate,
    It must be very frustrating to be unable to use your iPhone since it won't even power on. Let's see if we can get things back up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Start with the section titled If your device still won't turn on or start up.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,
    Brett L 

  • How do I reattach a key that has come off?

    I noticed one of my keys was sitting weird and I accidentally pulled it off and now cannot figure out how to put it back on. I have a macbook pro new bought in 2013
    thanks

    If you follow the instructions on the above link , the procedure is quite straight forward. This one is for powerbooks but the same applies to MBPs.
