So I thought I received a flawless rMPB with a Samsung screen.
Now I hear a click noise occasionally when I close the lid. To replicate the sound, I have to let it settle for five minutes or so, then try to close the lid a little and will make a subtle click or creak.
I know most of you will advise me to take it in to a Genius but I don't want a brand new machine to be repaired, let alone opened up to be diagnosed.
I had a couple of replacements prior to this one. I am just tired of this returning and waiting game. Are you guys hearing a similar noise when closing your lids?
If there is no long term effect, I may just keep this machine.
Edit: After further observation, I discovered that it was not the hinge but rather the bottom cover. It seems like the right hand side of the bottom cover is loose. I bought a pentalobe driver from amazon ($5) in the meantime.
Took a quick video which clearly shows that the bottom cover has some noticeable play:
