What is this on my MBA, Defect?

[joelseph7]

Ok so I should have probably checked for any imperfections upon buying my MBA the first day. Though I somehow missed an important area !

I've attached some pictures. Please let me know if this is normal, which would be pretty odd or if my MBA has a defect of some sort. Hope the pics aren't too big, if they are let me know and ill resize them.

Also if its not normal should I go to apple about it? Would they try and fix it or replace my MBA? I'm passed the 14 day period as I bought my MBA early last month so I'm not sure what to do if it is a defect of some sort. Any help or suggestions is appreciated, thank you!

That is not normal. Do you have an Apple Store nearby?

Yes I do.

Do I make and appointment with them first or could I just walk in?
Sorry, Mac-noobie here so I'm not sure how Apple handles situations like this.

Make an appointment on line, and go on in, save you from waiting like cattle

That looks like just the tape / wrap used to protect the flex cable (that drives your LCD) from the hinge assembly. They tend to float around, and their job is to prevent chafing / snagging of the flex against the chassis.

I wouldn't lose much sleep of this.
