Hey,

I have a brand new late-2008 macbook pro (purchased because of its expresscard slot). Anyhow, after I removed an expresscard that I was using for a few days the spring-loaded flap did not fully come back into its closed position. If I tap at it enough it will come back _close_ to fully closed but once an expresscard goes back in and out it will only close halfway. I've added an image to illustrate:

I made an appointment with a mac genius but do you think this is something they will easily cover? Has anyone else experienced this problem? I just want to know what to expect when I go to the apple store tomorrow (which will be for the first time). Also, I have an ssd drive installed in the computer. Will it be necessary to reinstall the original HD?

Thanks for any guidance....
