Macbook clicking when pressed in corner

[flipflop4]

This is a really weird question but I thought I'd ask on here in case anyone has heard of this happening as I can't make it to the mac shop until next week.

Basically, I have noticed that sometimes if I put pressure (not really hard or anything just like if I lean my wrist on it when typing) on the bottom right corner of the macbook, it makes a clicking sound when I press it. It sounds to me like something is bending when I press down there.

It doesn't always click consistantly, and sometimes I have to press in different places to get it to click. I only noticed it when I applied a gelaskin to the top and was rubbing it to get the bubbles out and noticed when I rubbed over that corner it would make a clicking sound.

Its really weird and I don't want my macbook to die as I'm already on my second one this year! I have backed up the hard drive as I have been told that the hard drive is in that corner but I have no idea if thats the problem or not. It seems to be that something is loose but I don't know what or how!!

Just noticed that if I press it on the left side it still makes the clicking sound ( but on the right side), I'm sure it must be something to do with the casing. But surely it shouldn't be that loose or anything, its only a few months old!

Nothing to worry about - won't cause harm.

Same problem here. I have a 2010 15"MBP. This wasn't happening before and it's king of annoying. Every time I touch the right corner, even very slightly, I get this click sound :s

isnt that just the hard drive turning off because it thinks that the system has been dropped, ie. avoiding data loss?

You got the same problem as I have/had. If you have a Apple store nearby, visit them and ask if they can fix it.

It seems like the screws aren't tighten enough. Try take off the bottomcase, and put it on again - and remember, tight the screws, good.
My problem returned like 3 days after, and I'm going to an Apple store whenever I have the chance.

Hope that helps!

Like Steve says; then don´t put pressure there...

yes that's exactly this. Funny thing is that now it stopped ..

I'm anyway waiting for a SSD so then I will replace the disk and tighten the screws.

thx
