No, definitely ask away!

Unfortunately I have a feeling you damaged the optical drive. Is there any noticeable physical damage to the MacBook, I mean can you see any dents or scuffs? Try putting in a disk, if it doesn't go in then you can be pretty sure it might be okay, although even if it does get stuck in there you should be able to bring it to Apple (so long as there's no visible damage) and they'll probably replace the drive.

You should feel lucky to have an Apple store so close, I had to drive about 3 hours to get my iPhone replaced. Oh yes, and be glad your LCD display didn't crack, that's a $800 fix :(

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Oh geez. The only thing different past the funny noises is that when I move the screen it makes what can best be described as a squeaky hinge noise...minus the metallic squeak. And I disturbed some dust/stuff that had lodged itself between the screen and the casing (no idea how, though). No dents, no scuffs. Thank God.

I don't have insurance on it (augh, foolish me I know). I hope that replacing the drive (should it require it) doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm just afraid that the consultant will nail me to a cross for my poor treatment (some of the casing below the mousepad is gone and there are smudges and dust in the keys, etc) of my baby.

Ooh...if it were $800 to fix, I'd just say eff this and buy a new computer. At least I'd have all the new software and everything for only a little bit extra.

Thank you!

Hrmm yeah it's possible there's some case damage then too. They'll probably notice that right away. If you're in your warranty and they can't figure out that you dropped it then it'll be the free, but if you're out of warranty you're looking at $200+ dollars.

I've definitely seen the case chipping, if yours is the white one I know the white hand rests also turned yellow/brown which should be covered under warranty which is nice. Buy a $5.00 can of air to clean out that keyboard, well worth it!

At $800 I would just buy a new laptop too haha
