    Hi, does anyone know where I would be able to get a replacement keyboard/faceplate for a white macbook? Mine is cracked on both sides and I've gotten sick of it staring back at me at this stage! I came across a site that did them before but haven't been able to find it again..

    Is it still under warranty? You might be able to get a free repair.

    i had this specific issue and it was covered under a special case / extended warranty (i don't have apple care), i used www.galmac.ie and needed to supply them with the serial number to check if mine was covered... hope it works out for you...

    alternatively somewhere like here has them with instructions:

    It's a design flaw they acknowledge (certainly in the Apple Stores anyway!) so should be covered regardless of the warranty status. Check with your local authorised repairer.
