Broken USB ports of TiBook

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
My laptop 800PB fell on the floor!!!!!OUCH!



The Mouse that was plugged in was forced into the back of the case - resulting in a nightmare.



The mouse is out now - but the USb ports are trashed and the rim 2 inchs to the left of the on button is split!!



Ouch!!



Now there are a few people looking in thinking that Oh not him again - well he got what he deserved!



But I wanted to ask a polite and searching question which is

1..will Apple repair this.

2..Would it be under guarantee. I have only had it about 4 weeks



I appreciate your answers.



Thanks

Jools



P.S Screen is fine- machine runs fine still - no weird noises - just this split rim and trashed USB port area.

    1. Of course they will; the'll just charge for it.



    2. as i said, If you tell them that you dropped it, they'll probably charge you. best would be to call apple or your local reseller.

    check your homeowner's insurance (if you have any) that might cover it

    Do you think a new surround on the case - the lighter bit and the USb will be horrifically expensive? The machine still tuns fine - screen - everything the same...
