It’s retarded to destroy the MacBook before actually inspecting it yourself or having others inspect here on the interwebs to show there was no water damage. Smashing it up just makes it impossible to prove that you were in the right. Also, I agree with the above poster, what if someone else did drop some liquid into his laptop? He should be bitching at them, not AppleCare. I also suspect that he said something like “I never had this sort of problem with the support staff for Dell or HP” to which I would not at all be surprised if the manager did tell him that if he preferred he could buy one of those rather than fix this one.

Anyone that throws a temper tantrum big enough to smash the computer to bits clearly isn’t the calm rational type that will calmly explain their issue without shouting and cursing.

I’d have to agree with roy there, from the last few seconds of him holding the macbook it looks like there was never any screen there, If anything he prob atleast sold the parts for cash before he destroyed the remainder of the casing

I dunno… I’d bet dollars to donuts that a girlfriend/child/roommate spilled on his laptop and just ain’t fessin’.

a plea for attention, I’m thinking that was a prop instead of a real mac book.

The guy is an idiot. There was liquid damage in the portable, causing the failure. This is clearly not covered by the limited warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan. That ~$800 he was quoted was for the fourth and last tier for accidental damage, to pay for his Logic Board. There was no way in the process of him dropping the unit in the store to receiving the unit at depot could liquid damage have entered the unit. Had there been seepage into the box, it would have been denied by Flextronics (depot) during drop-off by DHL, and the customer would be sitting with a brand new MacBook. It’s clearly his loss and he absolutely proved nothing by his video.

see I’m more of a show stopper myself, so that little display would have gone down in a Apple store in the mall.

I would have gotten everyones attention in the store, had a buddy film it, and then begin destroying the laptop center stage right between the ipods and the macbook pros.

Much better than destroying it outside your moms house at 10:30 at night after she went to bed.
