I had this type of issue with a Macbook Pro. The rubber/plastic foot came off the bottom. Asked at the Genius Bar how much to replace it. It looks like a part that should cost $0.02 and expected an "Apple" markup of say $5. They wanted $350. Said they had to replace the entire bottom of the computer to put on a new rubber foot.
- yumraj 5y agoI just put the rubber foot and put a tape on top of it. It’s been that way for a couple of years now. Genuinely curious why would you even go to Apple for that?
- smcl 5y agoThat's only an option if you actually still have the foot. If you didn't notice it coming off, you won't have it and you won't be able to reattach it with tape. At that point you can either: 1. hunt around on AliExpress or Amazon for a third-party replacement 2. see if Apple are able to give you a "real" one for a not unreasonable price
- vl 5y agoBTW, there are replacement rubber feet sold on Amazon.
