Bezel loosening off Alu 13" screen

[Joe91]

G'day - long time lurker, first time poster

So I have an early alu MacBook bought in November last year.

A couple weeks ago I noticed I could see what I thought was a line of dirt just on the edge of the black bezel where it says 'MacBook' - right where the bezel meets the actual screen. I went to wipe it off, and instead it seems that the plastic (no idea what it is) is actually a little loose from the screen - almost as if it has come unstuck. You can push it and feel it move a tad all the way to about 2.5cm above the middle of the bezel and a little to the sides. Basically it feels like whatever layer covering the LCD is coming unstuck from the screen.

After calling Apple and being referred to a service provider, they said if it is brought in on Monday they can have it repaired/replaced/whatever within 3-5 days - pretty good turnaround I think.

Also, I haven't been keeping up to much with the Mac community for a while - so I'm unsure if this is an issue that has received attention etc. So has anyone else experienced this issue?

EDIT: The genius in me has posted this in the MB Pro/PB board - oops!

Not that I have noticed. BTW, no problem with the thread, your MacBook can also be called MacBook Pro due to certain likelyness...

holly crap!

that dont look too healthy.
As long as they dont think you dropped it they shold sort that out no probs

it shouldn't be a problem either way.
apple is really good about taking care of their customers,
and even if they -think- you dropped it for some reason they should still help you out.
i can't imagine anybody dropping a macbook and it having no dents.
unless you dropped it perfectly flat or something.

but i've heard storiessssss

i just
can't believe it.
