Yes my MacBook is under warranty,but I imagine Apple doesn't cover this kind of damage. Wouldn't Apple have the spare parts and do the repair. Is there anyone who has had the same experience? Anyway thank you so much for the information so far.

Yes it's possible

It's a rather involved DIY, essentially you have to strip the computer down quite far to remove the lower case, likewise the upper case.

As for parts you'll probably have to buy them from salvageable machines on e-bay

Update

As a work around, I've seen some pretty decent skins/covers for these units that might hide the damages.

If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.

Basically that's it--possible but expensive. + Ralph
