hey there huiyin,

i faced this problem before with my early 2006 white macbook, got it replaced as well while i was under warranty, they need to take out the entire top cover and replace a new one.

But after 2 years of using the new one, it seems the keyboard stops functioning properly. (yes, wtf @ apple’s product)

It’s a known defect in the design for the macbook, as long oyu're under warranty, there’ll be no problem in getting it replaced, and what’s more important is apple’s warranty is for worldwide IINM ??

if you do not have applecare, expect to pay around RM550 - RM600 for that replacement. So I ended up didn’t both and get myself a keyboard instead. Damn.

But about my issue, you can search at this forum. I did make a big hoo-hah on how they scratch my brand new macbook after the replacement. So, good luck!
