MacBook hairline cracks 2
Written by Adam
Hairline cracks are still an issue with the MacBooks it seems. I purchased a MacBook about when they first came out. I posted previously about the problem I had with that first MacBook and hairline cracks. I actually ended up with a rather poor experience with AppleCare having my MacBook returned with several cracks still present, despite explicitly noting them on the phone. The MacBook was also returned with a new problem that wasn’t there before; the mouse button stuck and had to be pressed much harder and directly in the center to work.
Later, I upgraded to a MacBook with a Core 2 Duo and a bigger hard drive and more RAM. I’ve had it less than a year and I’m having a problem with hairline cracks again. It’s in about the same place where my wrist rests while typing. It’s a bit frustrating knowing that if I want this fixed, I will have to send it to Apple and go without it for seven to ten days.

“it’s a bit frustrating knowing that if I want this fixed, I will have to send it to Apple and go without it for seven to ten days.”
I wish it was simple like that. Not only did I go without my macbook for 4 weeks, but also four months after the replacement, the cracks appeared again in everywhere. And of course, Murphy was also in play and my warranty happened to end 3 months ago. Great!
Still discussing with the apple service, hoping to get it fixed again…

Yep, my white MacBook did the same thing. I dealt with it, by putting stickers over the front edges. Not perfect, but solved the problem. I have one the black MacBooks now, 2.2, and haven’t had the problem.
