Something happened with my ibook today and now the hinge is all wonky.
At the bottom it doesn't stay connected to the screen's plastic casing for unknown reasons and the plastic case around the screen itself over the lid at the bottom of the screen is pushing itself from the screen in the direction of the keyboard.
The screen and the computer work without problems, but the lid seems to heavy for the hinge now since it can no longer stay in upright position on its own. The ibook cannot be easily closed and opened either, the lid doesn't align with the bottom half and I have no idea what is:
a - wrong,
b - how it can be fixed
and c - if Apple repairs is going to charge me a new screen considering that probably just some piece of plastic somewhere in there broke.
Should I even ask if this is covered with the ibook's warranty?
I didn't take these photos, but my ibook looks exactly like that:
