    Hi all, I have a hairline crack in the side of my
    base/ area around the touchpad.
    The aluminum or whatever material.
    I was wondering if that part could be replaced?
    Should I send it back and buy another?

    Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    If you have Accidental Damage Protection, it will be covered.

    If not, you are stuck with it, or you will have to pay for it.

    Oh, a real crack.

    I read the title and thought your laptop was bouncing off the walls. ;)
