Is this covered by warranty, what to do?

Hi,

I have had an 11" MBA for almost nine months.

The only problem I have had with it thus far, is
that for the past nine months I have owned it
a very thin white line gets marked every time I
open the computer. It is very annoying!

The marked line is located about one inch below
the top of the screen (and goes all the way from
left to right). This thin white line seems made out
of dust. It seems like it is produced by the thin
(aluminum) line of its unibody, just below the the
space bar. As if the top part closing on the bottom
part, would close too much, imprinting lastly this
line. This, in spite the fact that the bottom is
cleaned after I use the computer.

It is as if this white line had been painted onto
the screen with a very pointy white crayon. So, I
have to clean it every time I open the computer!

Can this be repaired? Is this covered by the
warranty?

Like I said, it is something that appeared since the
very first time I used the computer and it is very
very annoying to have to clean it off the screen
every time I open the computer.

Thank you, kind regards,

igmolinav

I think the answer to your question will ultimately come from asking Apple. If Apple say no then I imagine it would depend on the strength of your consumer protection laws and your perseverance.

This does appear to a major problem, maybe you should get out of whatever dusty environment you're in and forget about it.
