jz wonder, after apply the screen protector, will it too thick and causes a gap when closing the lid??

Won't make much the different i think cause it's a thin layer of screen protector.

I bought my macbook for 2-3 months now.

Thank you.

I believe not after the 14 days return policy is over... You didn't realize the dead pixel before this?

Just notice that last 2 days.

QUOTE(nimrod323 @ Jun 17 2009, 07:33 PM)
bring it to the technicians for a check up,then plot your next course of action normally they'll replace the screen.

Not sure thought.Bought it at malaysia but i'm at bangkok now.

Just went to the apple reseller here in bangkok and they told me that if it's more than 3-5 dead pixel at the middle part of the screen then they will exchange a new one.

BUt mine was like 2 dead pixel only and i need to go to the workshop to find out this saturday=/

One more thing...apple does not sell macbook 13 inch alu already right?

They do sell.. Just that the 13" has been renamed to macbook pro and with a build in battery and some changes on the design..
*
I see...So nothing much the different between macbook and macbook pro right?

QUOTE(kwekeugene @ Jun 18 2009, 10:52 PM)
Call AppleCare and see if they can do anything for you. Another tip, don't go to resellers, go to an Apple Store itself.
*
Apple store itself?I don't know whether they got it here in bangkok or not =S
I worried that when/if i send my macbook to the workshop or something,they might scratch my mac badly cry.gif

Went to smart bar in bangkok di other day and they inspect my mac for dead pixels.

And they told me it's not dead pixel and they asked me to look closely with the small binocular and it was 2 X5mm long dust inside the screen.

They told me to call the apple hotline to fight for a new mac.Lol.
