Macbook Touchpad

[Tute]

Hi guys.

I have one of the 13" Unibody Macbooks, purchased in 2008. Recently i've noticed the touchpad isn't as easy to click, i.e it has to be pressed quite hard to get it to register.

I'm assuming that after thousands of presses it's just getting old and needing replaced. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what an Apple Store is likely to charge for something like that, so that I can go prepared?

Thanks in advance.

Heh, it's come up "Service Battery" now.

I have the extended Applecare, but I believe it's 3 years? That would put it out of warranty sadly.

The battery warning went away after a bit, it's a shame as I always try and look after the battery by not overcharging it, letting it fully discharge etc. but then is four years about right with regular use?

I still get 3-4 hours!
