Hi all,
I have a unibody MPB with a loose battery and hard drive. By loose I mean the battery has about maybe 2mm of play when "properly" seated. The HD has a little less play, but when I lift the machine off the table or tilt it along an axis parallel to the monitor hinge, I hear and feel a clunk from the two aforementioned parts banging against their mount points. I confirmed this was the problem by opening the machine up and removing the parts and trying the same thing--no noise. I have had several laptops over the years and have had the clunking battery before, but never the HD. Has anyone else run into this? Should I get the machine serviced/replaced?

Thanks.
