Dr.'s Appointment for Mini-Me Mini-Me I'm taking my laptop (mini-me) to my local Apple Store today. I've got a couple of hardware issues that I'm hoping they'll fix.

  • When I press on the bottom right corner of the keyboard (near the corner of the panel), there's a clicking and I can press down about 1/8th of an inch.
  • I tripped while carrying mini-me a couple of nights ago and broke one of the hinges to the screen.

I hope they'll fix these issues as it's still under warranty, but don't know if they will. Has anyone else had similar hardware problems that they've gotten fixed (through Apple or via other means)?

I hope I can beat the crowd and maybe even get an iPod. Posted in Mac OS X at May 02 2003, 06:14:50 AM MDT 2 Comments

My friend had his iBook snap some internal wires when it closed (or something like that) and he took it back to the store to get it replaced. After shipping it off to Apple's place, they fixed it and sent it back in about a week or so. Pretty speedy to me. -Matt

Matt: If you are able to get the bottom right corner problem fix, please e-mail me. I know of three Powerbooks with this problem; however, Apple has told all of the owners that it is not a manufacturing defect and it would cost them $600 to fix.
