Well,
my sister ruined her MacBook. She dropped it, and now the case is open on the side (near the slot-loading drive and the LCD screen), it has 4-dead pixels (came shipped that way, I recommended having it replaced but she said no).
She also loaded it with so much just, and had so many widgets open it took so long to boot.
It's a MacBook 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM.
She loaded a CD in it earlier today, and when she tries to eject it the MacBook makes a horrible sound and you can feel the bottom of the computer shake - the CD doesn't even eject.
I've tried things such as "Command-Option-O-F on boot, then type eject cd" to get the CD out, but it doesn't work. All the things I've tried that I've found on Google don't work, it seems that it is physically jammed in there. I cannot afford to use something like a credit card to get it out, as the CD is from college and it contains her homework (scratching it would cost her grade).
Thankfully, OS X can read the disk and I made a backup with Disk Utility and transfered it to another Mac via networking.
I'm backing up all her files (just in case it decides to become bricked), and I want to now if Apple Care covers what my sister did to the MacBook.
I'm sorry for posting such a long thread, she's making me fix it and I'll probably get in a lot of trouble if I don't (as my parents are also forcing me to fix this).
What should I do? It was bought online, so unfortunately taking it to an Apple store to have it replaced there won't work... I need to get this done, they'll keep me up all night if they have to lol
