Loose screen hinges, broken fn key & apple care visit in near future.
I am second owner of this device and I am not sure about its past. Previous owner told me that device is alright and nothing bad have not happened to it.
I have not found any marks or other things. I have just found a small mark of liquid in the Bottom case in fan place but insides of laptop are normal, nothing abnormal there (Bottom liquid markers are white but I cannot remove the motherboard - I do not have proper screwdriver). I was trying to remove motherboard to see other liquid markers to be sure that device is fine (it works fine) but I am not able to do this.
And on top of that my fn keys is broken. I have mastered the technique of removing butterfly keycaps without destroying them and it is something else - Bottom portion of key cannot lift up, top portion is working correctly. Key is working but keycap is not straight.
All other keys are fine, computer is in very good shape and it is working flawlessly (thermal paste needs to be replaced). So I am planning that after this pandemic I will go to my nearest iSpot to try replace keyboard with replacement program.
But on top of that, what is procedure of “fixing” hinges in this models? Is there a way to tight them or I would have to replace whole display? Does Apple Care provide option to fix hinges and for example replace thermal paste?
Es esta una buena pregunta?
