Pm Wei dy,waiting reply.apple retailer store like machine tat provide service can repair also?or want to call apple to ask?

since the damage isnt part of something they'd cover it's up to you to search for a third party solution.

you could send it to machines but I wouldn't be able to vouch for them as I've never sent any of my machines to machines.

+1 for wei. and vr tech if wei isn't able to help.

Did wei repair for iPad dent as well ? :hmm

How to contact vr tech if Wei unable to help?

Not very serious in my case. Yours very serious ?

I'm nt sure count as serious another,but vry annoying when see my Mac.hope to fix it fast,it ruined my mood..

he doesn't handle idevices anymore iianm, but you could always pm him to confirm.

basicly how much will it cost?and the warranty still got?

its impossible to "fix" dented aluminum, you only have an option to replace the unibody.
which will cost a lot although I'm not too sure of the cost.

warranty doesn't cover damages which you yourself caused. a dent would fall under just that.

my fix mean repair,sorry for the wrong word ><
i won't mind to replace it,just hope get back its perfect condition,and i just wonder the warranty issue,will it void if replace the casing?

nope... if u send to QCD yes.. warranty straight void
If VR depends on the dent.. major dent u jialiat liao

don't think it will be void if you send it to Apple to do the replacements.
give Apple Care a call to get the right consult

what's jialiat?


(as it pains me to say this) there's wisdom in the line in bold.

i think just minor dent,since i touch it,i din feel like having a hole on it.so i think the warranty still got ba?
so its better send to wei if he still got repair mac or VR right?if repair by them the warranty still got?

i would do this if really can't settle by other,cause i think send to apple to repair it would cost more.and still the same problem,if i send back to apple to replace the casing,the warranty status how?won't void it?

not 100% sure on your question, thats why i suggested you to contact Apple Care on my post above.
this is their number 1800803638

i had called apple care,the guy said call or pay a visit to AASP for service or repair,since its a physical damage,so its not cover by warranty.after repair,the current warranty will return.

did they inform you the cost of replacing the unibody?
