Ihave a 15 inch MBP. Small problem... the C on the words MacBook Pro under the screen has fallen off. Its not the big of a problem but it is kinda annoying. Anyone know how I could go about getting another one?

Sell it to your Ma' and purchase a new one. She'll love the customization.
 
Or just leave it. If anyone tries to take it you can always yell "hey, that's Ma Book!":rolleyes:

How did it fall off? It looks like it is engraved to me...


Well the shape is engraved, but it seems like the dark silver part is just a sticker down in there. You can still make out where the C was, its just a differant color.
 
The same exact thing happened with my new 17" MacBook Pro. The 'c' just came off as I ran my fingers across the lettering literally the same day the FedEx guy dropped it off at my house.

Strange little problem, eh?
 
wow...

wow, i always thought that was etched in. Then i felt the lettering and noticed it's not.

Have you had the laptop less than a year? If so, show it to the Apple Store. As i recall, they have a reconditioning factory where they have stuff like that.

The exact same thing just happened on my 17". I knew it wasn't etched on but I didn't think it would just pop off one day. I'm definitely going to complain about this because it definitely makes my brand new laptop look way too broken in.
