MacBook case replacement (discolour problem)

[Matt]

Well i have one of the first MacBook's (bought it on release) and it's a bit of a horrible colour now! I've been putting off sending it back as i'd be without a machine for weeks.

Has anyone sent theres back for replacement? How long did it take? and what did they replace? Also, is it possible to have the work done in a store somewhere whilst i wait?


Thanks

Same as everyone elses really, it is discoloured to the right of the touchpad.

 

[Matt]

Yes, they do.

It was a thing a while back.. they do a free change of the discoloured area + the screen bezel

Any ideas if this can be done at an Apple service place, or do i have to send it off?

i think you might have to send it off... you might get a new laptop instead of a repaired one... make sure you back up your stuff

That's ok, i mirror my MacBook using SuperDuper!

I might phone them tomorrow and see what they say. Does anyone know the Applecare number?
