oops dropped my MBP

Yeah, very careless of me. Had a coffee in one hand, 2 textbooks and my macbook pro in the other going up a flight of stairs. Didnt realize the computer was slipping until it was too late.

the top left corner hit the ground first. there is a large chip in that corner and some scratches all around. the case is kind of warped, as the lid shuts on an angle.

BUT...IT STILL WORKS!!! not sure what to do, as I dont have accidental warantee or anything like that. think i might just use it until school is over (2 weeks left) , then sell it for parts or as a damaged computer, and get a santa rosa based MBP...another mental excuse to buy a new computer..YESS

 

Hmm..i like your enthusiasm about the ordeal! personally if it was me who dropped my mbp, i think i would jump head first down those stairs! I say even a scratched up, beat up mac book still looks better then a mint condition pc! haha ya if u have the money go for a new one good luck with not dropping your next 1

 

Ouch that must have hurt.....i wouldn't do that to my MBP if i own one. It broke my heart when i dropped my Asus accidentally on the floor in the school cafeteria.....

 

If it still works, why get rid of it? This is why I am a big fan of Metal cases.

 

im just scared there is somethinig wrong on the inside just waiting to fail. it may seem ok now, but who knows. i do alot of important stuff on it so I wouldnt want it to fail randomly. if i need to buy a new computer to keep my work safe then so be it.

 

I wonder how much a MBP housing is.

 

Yeah, OOPS. That's a terrible story, and sorry to hear about your tribulations.

 

Heh, I did something similar.

and I've gotten it wet 2x. Once my fault, the other not my fault (ceiling leaked on it).

 

Well, the only "moving" part in there (besides the fans) is the hard drive. I doubt you've dislodged anything from the logic board with that drop.

 

Damm that sucks but on the bright side atleast it still works

 

Guys, don't ruin this into being OK. It's not! Your MBP sucks! It's broken, get a new one I know how it feels to want an excuse You probably sub consiously dropped it on purpose. I wish my Mac mini was droppable, maybe I would get a MBP too.

Just kidding, sorry for your loss buddy.

 

Its not a total loss, its working fine. I just dont trust it anymore.

 

If you could, I'd get it checked out but don't say you dropped it. Make up another excuse. Yeah, I know it's immoral but you don't want to see your $2k go down the drain.
