My dog stepped on my 13" Macbook Pro (Early 2011) and put a lot of dents and deep scratches on the casing where the Apple logo is displayed. The part number is "604-0788-C". Does anyone know where I can get this part new? All I seem to find are used parts, but I prefer new. Thanks in advance...
Got a tip for us?

I never purchased AppleCare, considering I had until my 1 yr warranty ran out. They don't cover accidental damage, though
It's usually referred to as the display assembly, and since they're glued together very tightly you have to buy an entire replacement screen (you can't buy just the metal part). Check iFixit.com to see if they have it.
out of curiosity, where did you leave your macbook? somebody else had to be wondering where it had been placed.
On the floor, I would think. Any dog heavy enough to be leaving that kind of damage to a laptop is not likely to be walking around anywhere but the floor.
Also, this is a MacBook Pro question posted in the MacBook (not Pro) section.

If it's still within a year you could still buy Applecare on it. If you have it sent in for an unrelated issue (don't take it to a store), usually they replace stuff like this for free. Just throw in a note.
