I have to be honest, I have dropped my laptop a couple of times, but I have done no real damage before. Tonight, on the other hand, I dropped the computer right off my lap while it was open. Now the piece of grey plastic that connects the border of the screen to the top of the laptop is severely cracked, and the two metal pieces no longer fit together in that corner. I called Apple to find out how much it would be to replace this seemingly worthless piece of plastic, and I was quoted 610 dollars. When she said six-ten, I almost wanted to believe that she meant 6.10, however, I know that is not the case. Has anyone had any similar experience? Does anyone know if there is a place to have the computer fixed for less money? I am concerned about voiding my Applecare, is it possible if I do get it fixed somewhere else that I might void my warranty? Any advice?
