Dent In Macbook Pro, Messing Macbook Up.

Since you didn't drop it, what I'm wondering is, was your backpack extremely full that day? Is it possible that it just got slowly squashed instead of violently smashed?

I remember all the materials of my backpack that day. A lightweight AP Psych Textbook/Study Guide, small paper notebook, and a TI-84 Calc.

the way the display and bottom casing looks, it's obsiously something that hit the laptop when close on the right corner. it (someone or something) hit the display and bottom case at the same time. there is now way, in my opinion, that this just happened by itself.

My friend dropped his 12" powerbook in those skin cases from 3' accidentally, and his corners look just like it (LCD), but the drive is not totally busted like that. If you didnt do it, maybe it was on the ground and someone tripped over it or something.

Warped corners = dropped. Apple will probably charge you for it.

You're not the only one, buddy

My girlfriend JUST stepped on my 12" powerbook and honestly, it looks a lot like that. Screen isn't too bad but the cd drive is done for. Post up when you get the issue resolved because you're not the only one in this pickle!

ouch! sorry that happened to you...


But this is the reason why I don't know if I should get a MB over a MBP for college.

I once knocked my closed 12" Powerbook off a night-stand and it fell about three feet onto carpet. It landed pretty hard on one side and left a noticeable dent near the power connector, but nothing like the damage yours received.

Is it possible someone stepped on or kicked your bookbag? Looking at the screen bezel and DVD slot it does appear as if someone could have stepped on it while it was closed.

I plan on going on Saturday to go visit the store, and I wont take no for a answer less I can talk to a supervisor or a manger about the issue (I've been there before, some of the people at the store are pretty incompetent) Thanks for all your support guys, I will keep you updated.

It is really awful this happened to your MBP, but what do you expect Apple to do for you? Your MBP clearly endured some type of physical abuse. Perhaps not at your hands, but by someone or something. Perhaps Apple can straighten the aluminum case out enough for you to use your SuperDrive again, but I imagine they'll expect you to pay for any work they do on it.
