Hi Mac Community,
I've got an 18 month old white macbook, and have noticed this evening that there is a crack on the front left corner of the unit (near the trackpad). It's about 5cm long, and a 2mm wide strip of the plastic case is in danger of snapping off. It's obviously not a structually big deal, but I'm a bit annoyed that my (pristine and well looked-after!) MB is damaged.
Should this be covered by Apple Care? If so, how do I go about arranging the repair? I don't live in a city with an Apple Store (Edinburgh, UK), but there's a 3rd party retailer here who is pretty good. Whilst I try to arrange this, is it worth gluing the strip. I don't want it to snap off completely, but equally don't want to invalidate my warranty by trying to self-repair it. Finally, I'm approaching a point in my work where I need my MB for some fairly important reports (in the next 2-3 weeks), and really don't want to send it away for replacement for an unspecified time period!
Help! Any advice most gratefully received
Dave
