Macbook Flickering Screen Backlight Warranty Repair

by jared on March 28th, 2009

Throughout the past two years, my 13″ Black Macbook has experienced four repairable issues:

  1.  Hard drive failure
  2. Light to medium flickering backlight
  3. Light flickering backlight
  4. Cracked wrist support edge plastic

Each time I brought the computer in for these issues, the Genius (tech support) immediately smiled and admitted my machine for warranty-covered repair. Always renew your Apple Care. If you stumbled upon this blog and have not renewed it, consider it a lesson learned. Just go a few days before your computer’s one year birthday and spend the money to renew. Mine has paid for itself more than three times by now.
