That was the cheapest option. So then I look at price for the original hard drive that I had on my Imac already, it was 50...

    I am thinking of taking my IP6 to Apple for a new battery. There is a small crack in the glass (above the actual screen), does this matter? Will Apple still be able to install the new battery?? Thanks.
