Zal91 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Windex magically found its way into my fairly new MacBook through the keyboard.(Don't ask). Some of the keys stopped working and the DVD drive ejects poorly,(It still reads/writes DVDs). I sent it in for repair to Apple, they called and said my warranty was known in void for accidental damage. I was like okay, then he said it would cost $774 for it to be replaced. WTF?! Apple said the DVD drive, keyboard and the Logic board had to be replaced. I understand everything except for the logic board, the laptop works fine apart from the keyboard/DVD drive. Since I am fairly skilled with electronics and my warranty is already voided I am contemplating fixing it myself, I can pick up a whole new top case for $80 and I am sure I can find a dvd drive for under $200. I need your thoughts/opinions and some links to some good compatible DVD drives.

bwhsh8r Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 sorry that happened, let me look around for a new one for ya, brb any that fit should work just fine, but just remember to remove the face from the old one and replace the new one's with the old one so it looks and functions right. --- BUT, im not positive about what i said above, so wait until someone else who knows better than i posts.

Zal91 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) well if you think its only those two, tell them thats all you want replaced. Will they do that? I am wondering if a Pioneer DVR-K05 8x DVD±R/RW 4x DL CDRW Slot SuperDrive will work in my Macbook. They say the logic board may be corroded but I can't believe it because the computer boots and operates fine.
