Crack on edge of Macbook

Whew! I thought I was the only one with this problem!!

Surely you can do it yourself? There's probably a guide on youtube somewhere, I doubt it's too challenging.

Deep Thought

Just got mine back for Mactivate

Only took 15mins

Very nice, my problem now is that the bottom chassis is also cracked,

But Nice Job from Mactivate

I don't think there is any point in risking it. Especially as the service is free.

See if you can schedule the repair so it can be done on the spot, it's a 15-30 minute job at best.

I emailed GalMac in Galway and they said they can do it.

I'll go into CompuB in Limerick on Friday and they might have the casing in for Tuesday and I'll be able to go in and get them to do it if it only takes 30 mins tops...

Hopefully it does last 3 weeks
Don't want your MBP screen to be hanging off the hinges :cool:

Mega bump.

Does anyone know if CompuB etc are still doing this out of warranty?

I heard they are, but why not phone them? What do any of us know for sure?

Be careful of CompuB, they're a joke (in my experience) at basic repairs.

They're hit and miss.

They did a fine job on my MBP recently (although they put the base panel on a bit crooked and I had to reseat it) but they screwed over my sister on a Wifi issue and left her outside of Applecare with no Internet.

The truth is though, this sort of stuff isn't rocket science, it's just getting the parts that's the hard part.

I guess they would fix it. My MacBook was years out of warranty and they did it free for me. They did a great job.
