Scratched the Backing of my MBP.

I have badly scratched the backing of my Macbook Pro. Since the part is user-removable, I was hoping I could find one online to buy. Unfortunately my searches have yielded zero results. Is there anyone on here who could help me in some way find a back for a Macbook Pro (late 2008)?

You can buy them online, but they are kind of pricy.

  • TS1292 hi, I've got itunes music card for my birthday and when I scratch the back to redeem the code everything gone, so no code, what can I do?

    hi, I've got itunes music card for my birthday and when I scratched the back to redeem the code everything gone, so no code, what can I do? I've been to tesco to customer service and they told to contact itunes support

    These are user-to-user forums. If the page that you posted from doesn't help then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Can you easily scratch the back of the iPad mini with your fingernails?

    I have a iPad mini with retina display and I'm worried that my fingernails might scratch the back.

    It is probably possible but I would think unlikely. The back is made of aluminum which could get scratched but I don't think your nails could do it. Neither my iPad nor my wife's iPad have ever gotten scratched from our use.

  • AppleCare Scratched the back of my iPod!

    When I sent my iPod Video 60GB to AppleCare because the HDD wasn't working, they scratched the back (metal side) when they were fixing it. I don't think that I should have a scratched up iPod from Apple, because I took every precaution so that I wouldn't scratch it. I went to an Apple Store and the guys there said to call AppleCare and they will do something about it, but I'm wondering what you guys think. Images:

    Sorry about the quality, all I have is a camera phone. Make sure you look at the last 6 because they show the scratches the best.

    Can't they scratched the metal! Plus, I paid my $60 for the 2 year warranty so that when it broke they would fix it. After they get it working, they scratch up the whole back. Thats completely unacceptable for a repair. I just realized I didn't block out the serial # Oh well.

  • Nokia N97 cover defect: Scratched the back camera ...

    Hello everyone,
    Last weekend, as I opened the back camera lens cover, I saw one straight line scratch
    I was cursing myself, even though I keep my phone in a pouch. But today as I was scrolling through HOFO, I came accross a thread where people we complaining about similiar issues.
    I think this is a defective design problem on N97s, if there are some dust particles under the screen then they will scratch the screen when you slide the cover to open or close it.
    Will nokia take resposiblility to fix these screens, I am really **bleep** off. I have been a Nokia fan from last 7 years.
    This is what we get after spending $650 USD to buy a hyped flagship device.
    Could anyone tell me who to complain and how get it fixed.

    well aftear reading the hofo i just smacked a screen protector in the lens, i got it from the "home button" of some iphone's screen protectors I had. as soon as I slided the cover close/open the lens (or the screen protector) got scratched so Im 100% sure that the sliding cover will scratch the lens. Not that fast, since the screen protector adds some bulk on the surface. So if you are going to do this make sure that the screen protector doesnt invade the flash zone or you will get some flashes over the picture and also make sure that it doesnt get under the lens frame I think the cover has a slider under the frame.
    So finally I feel better, and the picture quality doesnt change anything even when using the flash!

  • Uhm, I had the Ipod 5th generation for a week, and I accidently scratched the back on the apple logo, and near the bottom. I was wondering if I could possibly get the back fixed, or....?

    My Ipod 5th generation, which I bought a week ago, I noticed I had a scratch on the back logo and one on the bottom and I never remembered ever scratching it. Is there any possible way where it could be fixed?

    You could pay for a replacement at the repair price:

  • Is there a 13 in. Macbook Pro shell with a little pocket on the back to hold an external HDD?

    I am looking for a hard shell that can hold my seagate 1 TB drive on the back of my Macbook Pro 13in 2012 (not retina, regular), while its pluged in. Kinnda like the rack thing for the back of an iMac, just this one would hold it tight to the back of the computer. If no one knows of somthing like this, if you have connections you should mention it to them. (make sure to tell them i was my idea!) Well thanks to anyone who can help! P.S. I will need to know before the middle of november!

    I've seen the rack that some have attached to the back of various iMacs. However, a MBP opens and shuts, and there isn't any place to attach a rack without marring the look of your machine.
    The main connections for most users would be the lightning, power, and USB connections. For others, the mini audio connection is useful. But something to hitch to the back of your MBP might be an eyesore. See it from the POV of the potential user.
    On the other hand, a Mac-friendly case to hold your MBP, cables, drives, USB sticks, and adapters makes perfect sense. Put the MBP in one pocket, the peripherals in the other(s). I strongly suggest you visit your local Apple Store, since they're packed with items like these that fit your needs. Do a search on eBay for Swissgear and take a look at their cases.

  • TS1292 After I scratched the code on the iTunes gift card I could not read the whole code and I do not have a gift receipt, What do I do to redeem my card?

    After I scratched the back of my I Tunes card, I couldnt read all the code numbers and do not have a gift reciept, what do i do to redeem my gift card?

  • Hi Friends... I'm trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message "The operation could not be completed because the item "bands" is in use. I'd like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

    Hi Friends...
    I’m trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message “The operation could not be completed because the item “bands” is in use. I’d like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

    Sorry, I am very confused. I asked the following question....
    Is this the only backup file on your Mac, or do you have other backup files and data on the Time Capsule disk?
    The answer that you gave was....
    This is the only one
    Now you are saying that....
    But I have lots of other files on Time Capsule! The back up file is only one of them.
    Can you clarify, please?

  • Scratched on the back of my MacBook Pro, can I get this fixed with Apple Care?

    Hello community,
    today I found out there are some scatches in the back my aluminum MacBook Pro. There is one fairly deep scratch. This has probably happened in my backpack since I use it for school.
    My question is: is this something Apple Care will help me fix? If not, how much will it cost to get a completely new back.
    Regards,
    Alwin.

    That damage is not covered by AppleCare.
