Best place to get parts for a MAC
 

My kid's laptop died, the keyboard went out. She shipped it to me from college and I took it to an Apple store. When they opened it, they found a dead bug in it and won't fix it and they will not sell me parts to fix it. It needs a new keyboard.

I have no problem repairing computers, laptops are easy to repair when it's something mechanical.

I can't believe those people at Apple over this

wonder what Jobs had against bugs??? btw why would you even support a company against adult? what next donate to AHF?

Any college you go to, they use MAC's, my daughter bought a MAC to help her with her studies. I think that was a pretty rationale decision don't you?

She has a Ipad, Iphone and a Mac laptop, they work together

Why not take the bug out and try again?..

When I worked at Apple, I set up a lot of 'dispatches' that I wasn't supposed to when customers really needed a replacement part, most of the time for free, too... If you have some kind of warranty, might want to try calling tech support until someone will help.

what a shame

What is a MAC? Because it's not Apple hardware. Those are Mac, short for Macintosh.

Damien would have been all over that.

Find a local Apple Service Provider in your area. They'll fix it up.

Warranty ran out, going to go pick up the laptop now and see what I can do, but they told me over the phone they can't sell me the parts

You're in the LA area right?

Give these guys a call for some info http://www.amsus.com/amsus/Apple_Store/mac_service.html

They're not supposed to, but some people do it anyways over the phone. Not the 1800-Myapple number, but the Applecare tech support. It's set up for selling or dispatching free parts to anyone, but barely anyone working there knows how to do it.. I wish I still had their Peoplesoft access. :(

One of the main places for do it yourself parts, http://www.ifixit.com/

Thanx guys, I will check out your links. I just got back with the laptop, I may have scared the manager a little, LOL

The employee I talked to at the Apple Store said my daughters laptop had cockroaches in it, I took it apart and it was spotless, fucking Apple Store techs are cockroaches

When I worked for Apple, we didn't like the 'geniuses' at all.. They called us when they had problems and were pretty dumb and dickish..

I get all of my gear from http://www.ifixit.com/Parts-Store

I studied advanced electronics in the Navy over 30 years ago. Taking things like a laptop apart is easy.
I went over the whole unit with a magnifying lens and found no signs of any bugs in her laptop. I've got a phone call scheduled with Apple today, if that doesn't work, going back to the store and have a talk with the manager if they even have one. I'm pissed that I have to go thru this because of some little shit in a back room.
