Keyboard issue fixed, check out this link if you need to remove keys: skeltoac � Apple Keyboard (Aluminum) keycap removal

As for the speakers, they buzz at high volumes. Like, with volume on full, if I'm watching a movie or something they'll give a weird buzz/rattle thing during especially loud parts (explosions or whatever). It could be the case or something inside rattling, and not the speakers themselves.

These probably seem like picky ideas but I'll be using this laptop for a long time and want it in A+ condition for as long as possible. Help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Also a quick question. Is there any way to get Mainstage to run on a macbook? Every time I run it, it says my video card is not good enough. Can that be easily upgraded, or could I workaround it somehow?

You have one year of warranty for your MacBook. The 90 days is just free support for people needing help doing things. Calls related to a malfunctioning Mac are free, as is the service to repair or replace it.

Get what to run on a MacBook? I think you edited out the game or program you were referencing. You cannot upgrade your video. How much RAM do you have (system RAM, not VRAM)?

Oops, that would be helpful wouldn't it. It's Mainstage that won't run...I have 2gb ram, need to upgrade to 4 anyway but I doubt that will make any difference for running mainstage.

Great to hear I have a 1 year warranty. Think the other problems are worth dealing with?

Yes.

If it's broken now, it could indicate other problems. Get it fixed w/in your one year of coverage, or buy Applecare for a total of 3 years.
