Just wanted to update this thread - Ever since I took the MBP back into Apple it's been fine. Whatever they did has fixed it for good.
I'm not sure if this thread is still active, but I'm really glad to hear that the issue was easily resolved. I have only had mine a few days and the click is becoming bothersome. But as my display is gorgeous, with no ghosting, dead pixels, etc, I was reluctant to have to replace the machine, and take my chances with the screen having issues (far worse, IMO, than a little occasional clicking sound). To the genius bar tomorrow or the next day...![]()
I would definitely recommend taking it to an Apple store and getting them to reseat the cover. It worked for me and couldn't be happier now![]()
Just wanted to follow up; I went to the Apple store today, and though the Genius seemed kind of put out or annoyed with my request, he reseated the case, and now no more clicking! I'm so glad I went and got this taken care of.
Mine was creaking on the back left, underneath the headphone jack every single time you press on it.
So, I just purchased the appropriate 1.2mm Pentalobe screw driver off ebay:

Undid the base, re-set it and put the screws back it and no more creaking anywhere. Solid![]()
This is similar to me! I just ordered the screw driver recently so hopefully this will work out for me also!
Did you unscrew it and then take off the plate and then rescrew it or did you just screw in that section.
My first rMBP had creaks and it was an LG screen with faint IR.
I sent it back and got a Samsung screened one and to add to the love......no creaks at all. Solid and silent build.
Although it does start up 2-3 seconds slower than the old one. Going to geekbench it tonight.
My LG one had I think 12,000 on 64bit geekbench
base model.
I took mine in for service because the creaking was killing me. They ended up replacing the whole top case (which includes a new battery as well) and the creaking is completely gone. I had several types of creaking, where I rested my palms, if I lifted or adjusted it, if I pressed on the aluminum above the keyboard, or if I moved my display. Just felt like everything inside was rubbing.
They also fixed a few minor issues I had that I didn't even tell them about, my trackpad sounded like it made a crack before it clicked sometimes, thats gone and my backspace key used to squeak when press on the left side, that gone as well.
