During my latest travels I managed to dent up my 12" Powerbook in my duffel, even though it was in a padded sleeve surrounded by clothes. As far as I can tell its just cosmetic damage. Dent in the front on the battery and in the front near the latch release. It also no longer clicks closed. Even though it's working fine, it's just frustrating to look at. Any advice on what I should do to get this fixed, and how much it's going to cost? I'd consider it just minor case damage.

You'll probably need a new bottom case. I would estimate a few hundred, maybe up to 200 more if it's the latest-revision model. Apple telephone support or an Apple genius should be able to give you a better estimate.

Wow, that's definitely more than I was expecting. Thanks for the response though. Looks like I'll just have to deal with it.
