What are some signs to look for that my computer has been damaged aside from the dent, the bent screen, and the stress fracture on the bottom case? I ran disk utility and it failed, but repaired. Now I am starting to see some lines across the screen and it locked up once, but no SWOD. Maybe I am answering my own question here. I already filed a claim and the Supervisors were very helpful. How else can I check for damage? Thanks, Frank
I would run the Apple Hardware Test for your machine for a thorough checkout. Good luck Ralph http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
If the drive and the screen are fine you were luckie. If your screen dies after some time check for a loose inverter cable.
