Mac Book Pro Help?
18 years ago
Hey guys, I've ran into a couple problems with my laptop along the way, and I'm wondering if any of my fellow geeks out there could help me out.
1. The LCD screen, over time, for some reason, has developed dark, ripple-like blotches around the edges. Im wondering what a cheap, effective fix or replacement to this would be.
2. One of the internal fans in my laptop started making a god-awful loud noise. We disconnected it, and keep the computer cooled down externally. How would I go about getting a replacement fan cheaply?
Oh, and the big issue here? For some reaon my AppleCare plan has expired. OI.
Maybe I could get financial help through school? Or maybe if these problems are bad enough, look into getting a new computer? On that subject, out of curiousity; Does anyone know a way to get an apple, but pay MONTHLY for it?
Oh, and let's throw a WoW question in this for good measure. If I WAS to get a new computer, would I have to buy a whole new disc of WoW to install it? x_X
Any help would be appreciated. x.x

I don't know much about WoW but it seems like you could just reinstall the game, couldn't you?
I'm sure there's some financing plan available, especially to students. I'd check the apple website, or go by one of their stores if there are any in the area.
1. The LCD screen, over time.... - Sorry, cant help you there.. Never run across this problem..
2. One of the internal fans....- I don't know if they're in your area, but if you can get to a Best Buy, Circuit City (etc) store they have internal fans in the computer electronics area. Where they keep keyboards, sound cards and hard drives. The fans are usually pretty cheap (and some come with lights, too, lol)
Oh, and the big issue here?.... "For some reason"? If it should have not expired, you can contact them about it. If it's a mistake you could get your computer fixed...
Maybe I could get financial help....-It's possible, though I do not know how to go about it.
Or maybe if these problems....- Personal choice, there..
On that subject, out of curiousity....- Go to rent to own places like Aarons, Rent A Center, etc. My girlfriend has a brand new Vaio she's only paying $35/2 weeks for and my dad just got a new laptop for $60 a month.
Oh, and let's throw a WoW....-I've never had a computer game unable to be installed more than once. I think youre safe there.
