I actually did the same thing to my 17 rev B. It came back from repair and a few things weren't working so I'd figure I could open the case and seat a few cables. Upon putting it b…

In any case, being that I had the uneven illumination problem BEFORE I touched the PowerBook, will Apple repair it again if the problem returns? Obviously it was a problem before I…

I just stuck one side of the tweaser (the smal ones that come with standard computer toolkits) in the hole and dug it out. All repairs done by Apple has a 30 day warranty on the re…

You just have to stay stubborn in defending your claim that the screw was there all the time. Believe me, they heard worse stories, but at least it wont get the wrong ball rolling …

Quote: Urgent! Did I completely screw up my warranty? Was that a pun? But yeah, screwing with your laptop like that is risky while the thing is under warranty.…

or you could say that you were putting in the airport extreme card in...i think that's an exception excuse to open up the pb...not sure though.

You don't have to open up the case to install an airport extreme card...

Note that the Apple service guide PDF for this model specifically and explicitly warns about this problem, and the fact that undoing said goof-up requires basically stripping the m…

Well, I am returning to school in London tomorrow. The PowerBook will be picked up for service on Tuesday, because the backlit keyboard does not work like it did before the repair …

Hello all. I purchased AppleCare for my PowerBook 15" AL in the U.S. It states that it provides global coverage. I am currently studying in the U.K., and have started to notice …

Probably the UK number

Definitely the UK number. AppleCare in the US won't even deal with your case if you're not in the country. By the way: if you can wait until you're back in the US, you should con…

Contact the UK dealer. I bought mine in the US and am in Italy. Had the screen replaced for same reason, now it's back up there cause the screen trim was warped and they scratch …

I sent my 15" AlBook into Applecare two days ago and today the status website says "Hold: awaiting part." The phone rep didn't have any further information. Has anyone got a new LC…

Mine was replaced in 3 days total (including shipping time). tooki

I just got my pb 6 days ago, and i'm just gonna return it to the store to swap for a new one cause getting that white spot is rediculous, not even a week of having it.

I'm in Italy and sent it up to AppleCare in Denmark. 3 day turn around and I got a perfect screen but... they scratched the screen lid/case in two spots and the plastic trim was wa…

I still have to send mine in...and if it's like Tooki says, that makes me very happy. But I wonder if they are in short supply now...how long it will take for them to get back in …

Got my last run ti back in threee days back in Nov. I had the same thing on the status page and it didn't change to being done or complete (whatever they write) until a couple of h…

As I was getting out of my chair I snagged the power adapter cord which dragged my powerbook onto the floor. Luckily it was closed before it fell and it still works! Should I be wo…

If it still works I wouldn't worry about it. You might want to check for straightness of the screen and things like that see if it is still level other than that if it works I woul…
