Hi guys
So I am a little worried. Tomorrow I will be taking in my 2011 MacBook Pro in for AppleCare service as the trackpad has stopped working properly. I paid around $400 for AppleCare shortly before my 1 year warranty was up last December, but since then I have remove optical drive, moved the stock HD to the optical bay, and put a SSD in the regular hard drive bay. I've read that I need to make sure I put everything back to stock configuration before taking it in (except perhaps taking out the SSD since that is technically user replaceable), or else they could refuse service. Only problem is, I lost the two black torx screws (the one by the fan under the skinny cable you disconnect to get to and the one in bottom left corner). I replaced them with two identically sized silver Phillips. Do you think they will notice this? If they do, will this be considered evidence of tampering and thus void my entire $400 warranty, and deny service? I can survive without the trackpad for a while as I have a mouse if it would be best to hunt down two identical, black torx screws.
