I've bought an aluminium MacBook like 3 weeks ago and the screen has detached from the aluminium case, is this a normal issue?

I figure this isn't the case, but your description leaves me picturing you holding the entire screen assembly with wires dangling while the CPU/Keyboard portion sits on the table. :eek:

I would imagine that in any interpretation this isn't a 'normal' issue and you probably need to take it to Apple, but an actual photo might help you find someone else who's experienced the same issue. :)

If you have to ask this question then I cannot imagine how you function. Seriously? Is it normal for a screen to be detached from the case? No.

My screen is still well attached to my case. Your best bet is to take it in for repair.

"Is this a normal issue?"

haha, yes, out laptops are made to self-disassemble :p

No really though, take it in.

Whatever you mean by detachment, it's not normal.

You didnt know Apple secretly released a tablet notebook!?!? Where have you been!? ;)

There's plenty of room behind the screen, I just trough that maybe it's just some kind of "secret pocket" (I could hide a couple of cigarettes behind) hehehe. Anyway I've already took it for repair, so there are no photos, sorry :( I just wanted to know if more people are experiencing the same issue.

To the OP, dead pixels are also bad. They are not a 'Where's Waldo' mini-game created by the display.

But really, the first thing you thought was a storage for cigarettes?

definitely not normal...But, they have released a new screen(matte finish) for the unibody 13" MacBook - http://www.techrestore.com/xcart/product.php?productid=18498&cat=273&page=1

Does anyone have one of these yet? ....I wanted to know if they are legit, and do as they say..."No more Glossy Screen"
