Cosmetic Damage....No, it will not void the warranty. But what you consider cosmetic damage, may be considered by Apple as Accidental Damage. Cosmetic damage is just surface marks and scratches. If there are dents, then that would be considered Accidental Damage in most cases. Sometimes accidental damage will be ignored if it is not affecting the function of the laptop and is not contributing to the problem being repaired. The only way to know is to have Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider examine the laptop to provide you with a repair estimate. Apple always has the final say in these matters and the repair techs must be extremely careful since they must return the bad part to Apple who will examine the part. If the part is determined to be damaged and the tech replaced it under warranty, then the AASP will be charged for the part. So the AASP will always err on the side of caution when quoting repairs.
