well, i called apple... the guy said i can take it to an apple store and they'll send it out... but, it's the most expensive component to the mbp. he's estimating about $700-$1000. bleh.
bad day...![]()

Not if he broke it. Apple won't fix it if it was damaged accidentally or other "acts of God".
I dropped my DS on m macbook pro there now, a nice dent in the casing.![]()
Aircraft Grade aluminium my Ar$e!!
Aircraft grade, makes it sound so strong though!
I'll get over it soon enough, but i just want to stick my finger behind the screen and push out the tiny dent.![]()
Aircraft hulls are designed to smush up in a crash to absorb the forces of impact so that everybodys necks dont' snap.

aluminium is a soft metal
while aluminum is a soft metal, macbook pro isn't using pure aluminum. they use aluminum alloy, which is much stronger. which should be able to withhold more than it actually does.
sorry to hear that... I dropped a light on my MBP screen last August and it made a huge gash accross the screen. After getting a quote from Apple (around $900) i decided to try to live with it. Well, after 4 months i couldn't take it. After doing some research I stumbled upon DT&T's website (http://www.dttservice.com/macbookpro.html). I simply ordered a screen from them for $595, but for $650 they'll replace it for you. The screen they sent was perfect and was an original LG (same that the MBP's ship with). Their LCD's come with a 6 month warranty.
I was a little nervous about replacing the LCD myself, but after following the ifixit guide it was pretty simple to take the case off and unscreen the display.
Good luck!!
ya i read that once in their waranty info![]()
couldn't you call anything an act of god?
um aircraft "hulls"
usually airplanes aren't designed that much for a crash, they're only really designed for th kinds of forces that they normally encounter.
