Big Dents...sssss

[alphaod]

I still like my homeowner's insurance idea.

Yeah except not everyone has homeowner's insurance.

1. can he get a refund on his apple care?

2. if he takes it to Apple store - and shows it to them working fine - but just dented - can they make note of his file so in the future if the logic board goes - it's on fine that maybe the dent was not the issue cuz it was working fine while dented?

3. if he gets it repaired under homeowner - is there any record that apple can see what repairs were done and why?

1) Yes you can get a prorated refund.
2) They will probably note that he dropped it, nothing else.
3) As long as he gets it repaired by an authorized service technician, Apple won't care.

I have no solution, but just wanted to say that I feel your pain.

Personally if it was me I wouldn't repair it as long as it doesn't cause any problems with the hinge or anything else. Of course it will hurt the resale value a good bit, but maybe your keeping it long enough so the resale value will already be relatively low.

I bring mine to school but never leave it just sitting in my locker, I always put it back in my backpack (which hangs in my locker) if I don't need it for my next class.

These guys will fix it: http://www.macservice.com/macbookair.html
You could send it in and see what they would charge. If it had to be completely replaced it looks like around $575 but maybe they could salvage the top or bottom...
