Dropped MacBook Pro... Casing issues...

[djasmooth]

Hello all, today unfortunately my MacBook Pro fell, I wasn't paying attention and put my laptop on the edge of the table, I heard a huge "boom" and now my screen popped out a little from the front part of the casing and on the side of which the hard drive is, the casing there popped out a little so now I can't fully close the laptop. Thankfully, everything works, but the casing is really messed up, do you know what I can do about this? Where to get new casing... I also have a number for a Certified Apple Tech, should I go through him?

Thanks

I wonder if there are any covers that convert your macbook pro into a "toughbook".... hmmm.

From a thread on this forum page:

From iFixit

Top case $329
Lower case/plate $149.

So that would be $479 to fix the cosmetic damage to the lower case and...

LCD/Top $999! - Ouch.

+ 200-400 labor

Apple won't fix it. Best to use iFixit. I'm sure you know now but to others, never leave anything on the edge of a table.

Well, I don't need the whole LCD replaced because the Screen itself is perfect, but the frame of it is damaged..

Yeah I know, I babied this thing, I had to run to get something and wasn't paying attention! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
