Howdy Macrumors.
I bought, or rather, I received a Macbook Pro as a graduation gift back in June of 07. It's worked like a charm, and I love it, however, a few things have started to happen.
It's my main computer, so I use the thing every day, toting it to and from school, constantly on, and constantly running some sort of Adobe ap. I've noticed the battery being total crap as of late, hardly lasting an hour and a half or so on minimal settings. To top it off, I believe it got some water damage one morning, as the U and 7 keys have stopped working.
My question is, should I order a new keyboard, and attempt to install it myself? Or just deal with the problem? The store my aunt got it from (Circuit City. >_<) doesn't service Macs anymore, so they can't fix it or replace it. And, since it's no longer covered by warranty, I doubt the Apple Store will do much to help.
Thanks in advanced.
