It is a good possibility that they will see it and charge you do fix it. If you spilled fluid on it, there is a possibility that you tripped the liquid sensors. If they are tripped Apple won't help you and you will have to pay. Good luck, take better care next time.
also its bin doing some stuff out of the box when i got it. i didnt mention i broke it i just said it stopped working.
How are we suppose to tell you whether or not the people will notice damage on the keyboard or not?
well if its a unibody model you probably have to pay more than 100$ because they cant change 1 key only, they have to change the whole keyboard and maybe the case.
The unibody and pre-unibody models use, essentially, the same keyboard, I believe.
i have the recipt. 0 dollars. they fixing it. and hell. its only 4 keys why would that be the whole unit? i think they can figure out somthing. maybe the keys are just messed up and just replaceable?
can they charge me even after they gave me a receipt? (0$)
my macbooks 2 months old everything perfect. so a whole knew keyboard replacement eh? they cover me for that right?
You keep asking us things we can't possibly know. If they gave you a receipt, you'll pay what's on the receipt. In your case, nothing. The keyboard is a single unit, so they can't replace just four keys. It's like, if you had a baseball bat and broke part of it, you can't just replace that part.
okay. new question. the parts are being sent down now and are gonna be at the store tomorrow. could there be more harm then just the keyboard causing it not to work
okay, thansk fro being so nice about it. but they only ordered parts needed but i bet hey have extras laying around or somthing. but im not going to worry. sorry for lack of knowledge about the externals of mac. i came form windows and new only about processors and harddrives and all. thanks for being so nice and support everyone
