About 6 months ago or longer, I dropped a microphone stand on a MBP that wasn't supposed to be where it was. The insides survived, no damage to the screen or the internals at all, but the case has become warped. It still works 100% but I'd like to get this thing fixed, but I never saw if there are places that fix these kinds of problems. Any help on this?

iFixit sell replacement case parts, and obviously create guides to help with that.

I had to guess since I don't know what type of MBP you have, not sure if the different models make it any cheaper.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I believe it was the last model before the Core 2 Duos, but it's a good start.

You're in luck then, kind of. The upper case has a price range of $199 -$249 for that MBP, I guess they sell used ones.

Was the computer open at the time? Is the bottom case damaged?

Well the whole thing bent, including the hinge. I don't know how the hell the thing still works, but it does. I can snap pictures later. I'll have to replace the ENTIRE outer shell, including the screen's shell. I'm debating now if it's worth it with the prices of the parts.

You might have better luck buying a dead MBP with a functional case off of eBay, I guess it would have to be the same model though because of the internal layout.
