Hi all,
I've already booked with the apple store for Monday, but has anyone heard of the early 09s having hinges that just shift all of a sudden (I have heard of loose hinges, mine was fine AFAIK, but now mine has shifted over towards the front maybe a 1/4 of a mm on the left side only, leaving the screen askew, turns out to be almost a mm by the time the screen edge is near the front). The only indication I had of this was yesterday when I opened it up and the hinge creaked, [was fine before then] I closed the lid and noticed it had shifted to the right slightly. I keep my mbp in a speck case so I removed it and took a look, other than the shifted hinge position there are no dents or any indication of damage. I couldn't gently push it back either (didn't want to force it).
Do you think that they'll think I caused it (I would think they would have to prove it though [kinda tough with no physical damage]), and if they so claim my warranty is void, what would be my recourse? Any idea how much something like that would cost?
