How to replace hinge cover?
Hey all!
I have a new 2010 MBP 15" and noticed that it came from the factory with a mark on the black rubber/plastic hinge cover. I don't really mind it, except at certain angles it catches the light and reflects it right into my eye and I find it distracting. The spot itself is very tiny, probably 2mm square, but it's always bouncing light into my eyes at the normal viewing angle for the screen.
I wouldn't bring it back for something so minor (everything else about the computer is perfect) and I started looking into fixing it myself. It seems that the black hinge cover is a kind of textured rubber/plastic and it gets "glossy" when this texture wears off. So it's not like I can just clean the spot with something and it will go away (I've tried cleaning it and nothing has helped.)
I started looking around for hinge covers and found them for the 15" 2009 unibody (which I think is the same part that I would need) online for anywhere from $10-$40. But the issue is I'm unsure how i can actually get to the hinge cover to pop it off if I decide to go through with it.
I should mention I have the hi-res antiglare display with the silver bezel.
I looked here: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2009 ディスプレイの交換
and even though it's for the 2009 unibody 15" model and although it doesn't show the hinge cover being replaced it looks like I should be able to replace it WITHOUT removing the silver bezel from the antiglare display from the screen. Is this true?
This is my main concern because I don't want to mess up the screen!
I guess, overall, is replacing the hinge cover a huge pain? Is it hard to pop it off and put a new one on?
Thanks!
