Wait now, so you're having trouble with your HD too? Just to clarify, just how many troubles are you having with your Mac? (try to count and list all of them here)

Well I bought an iBook a few months ago and it had a bent hinge right off the bat that they wouldn't fix. About a month ago, I gave that to my mom and bought my new PB. It's HD is making clicking/whining sounds and applications have been quitting (something that didnt happen before). The hinge on this one is also bent.
I'm just going to make it very clear to them that I bought this to replace a bent hinge iBook and I'm very unsatisfied that this one has the same problem + more.

I find that if you're firm with Apple Tech Support and sound like you clearly know what you're talking about, they're more than willing to help you out. All the better if you bought AppleCare...it's like being a first-class citizen.
The HD on my PowerBook 12" is on its way out now. It's been clicking and making weird sounds for a few weeks, and recently started crashing and hanging when trying to access files. Problem is that it's fairly sporadic, and just happened to be on a 'good day' when the techs had a look at it. However, this time, I've documented evidence of the HD failing every now and then, which I hope will be enough for them to swap the HD.
Have you tried the Shadowkiller utility yet?
