Hello,
I am needing to replace the rubber feet that are located on the bottom of my MacBook Pro. Does anyone have any suggestions? The stores in DC recommend replacing the entire bottom...which seems absurd! They are getting worn down and I have started to scratch the bottom. One has fell off... Any suggestions? These feet seem reasonable for a desktop computer that is stationary, but are unacceptable for a laptop.
Thank you!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
I have seen second hand ones on Ebay. I have had them come off as well and I just glue them back on. Why they are not available, is a puzzle to me. To have to by an entire bottom to replace one rubber foot is a bit of a stretch. But then you do get three additional feet to keep in reserve!
Ciao.
Really, if the whole bottom isn't too expensive, I would just get it. Getting replacement pads will probably just make them fall off. They may even turn out to be more expensive because you would have to keep replacing them. Besides, it looks very unprofessional. All you would have to do is unscrew about 10 screws. If you don't want to do that, you can always get a bottom hard case that would have the rubber feet built in.
Hope this helps!
Wait, just kidding about that. You can just take it to the Apple store and they can replace it under warranty!
