[dlogiram]

i fell down and dropped my macbook as well screen is not damaged and it works yet. it only has this visible damage. could there be any more problems? and is there any way to fix it?

 

[dukebound85]

wouldn't be a cheap fix.

glad the scree still works

maybe put it in a case. overtime you may forget you have the damage

See it as a unique patina. I dropped my MBA when it was new. Some dents in the bottom case. With the time you start liking your dents and the history of them.

I've seen companies like Dent Pro remove dents like that from vehicles, many worse that that one.

do you know how they do that on vehicles? it involves being able to access the dent from the other side to work it out. WOuldn't be able to do that here

Anyone else read the title as "I fell down and dropped my MacBook down a well"?

Conjured much funnier imagery tbh.

What model is this?

If it’s a pre-retina unibody, you can replace the display shell without having to replace the display itself.

If it's a dent but everything works then congratulations! You are now completely free to just enjoy using your MacBook! It adds character, and now that you have a ding on it, you can stop worrying about scratches, dents, dings. Add a sticker or two, perhaps a skin or a case too! The first cosmetic only damage on an Apple device is liberating.

If the screen is damaged then you can replace on a pre-retina era MacBook. Parts are on eBay for a couple of hundred bucks if you want to do it yourself and there are plenty of how-to videos and websites. Or add a couple hundred and have a repair tech do it.

Merely a guess, but, I take it you do not have Apple Care?

Put a skin on the back.

I think you can use electronics cleaner to remove the coffee.

for the record. I just got a new MBP 13, I bought a case for it which came with a silicone keyboard cover. I thought that was silly, I won't like it. But I tried it and wow, I absolutely love it. One of those ah-ha moments. for the future - get one

A machine of that generation (Early/Mid 2015) would be well out of AppleCare. I don't believe they had AppleCare+ back then either.

The keys are so tight I’m not sure how I would get under them to clean

I’m talking about the electronics cleaner that comes in an aerosol spray can. You turn off the laptop and spray it into the keyboard. It basically dilutes the coffee without damaging the electronics.

Did it hurt? When the mac book pro fell down from heaven?

in 2003, my brand spanking new kawasaki vulcan motorcycle fell from the wind
onto a rail causing an inch dent in the gas tank.
every traffic stop i would be bothered
until i would ride down the road
happy.

I've not (knock on wood) had many incidents of damage with my Apple products, but those that I have had, the above has NOT been my experience. Every time I noticed them, I got a slightly ill, sad feeling. Hate it.

 

[boemtje]

Just get a sticker

If there’s enough to “dilute” the coffee, it might be too much liquid. You need to remove the keyboard and clean the keys.

If it makes you feel better, I had a previous laptop that fell and got a dent on top too. As long as it works I wouldn't worry about it. We buy new things, they get old, then we buy new things again.

Honestly it doesn't even look bad. I wouldn't care if it was me
