At the time I had my Ti 400, the plastic "frame" sandwiched between the Titanium parts was not covered, for example. So this is the first thing you should check. Was your Applecare a 1 year? if so you could always call up, and extend to the three year, and then get the lid looked it (if it is indeed covered). If not, your best bet would be some local technicians who specialise in Apple products. The Apple store is probably a good starting point. -- Tarik
