My MacBook needs AppleCare repairs (after 3 years in Africa)

I got the MacBook back from Apple yesterday. Thanks FluffyX for the suggestion!
They replaced several things, including the Display Bezel, Display Panel (the whole screen!!), Top Case (palm rest, keyboard, trackpad), Inverter, and Heatsink.
That last one, heatsink, is a bit strange. The symptom mentioned was that the thermal module was defective. I didn't mention anything about this to AppleCare, so I have no idea what it's about.
Needless to say, I'm very happy. I didn't get the bottom cracks taken care of, but that's fine. They're hairline/cosmetic.

You should post some pictures of your "new" Macbook (before and afters if you have old pictures).
...every thread should have pictures...
Nope, no photos.... It does look so much better now, especially without that bulging battery.
