apa yg jadi?

From the photo you attached it looks like your casing has warped a little bit, causing a small gap above the dvd-drive slot... Might be caused by excessive heat.. If your macbook is still under warranty, send it back to where you bought it and get it checked... Should be able to get it fixed/replaced.

can i just stick it by myself ???

i got the same prob above my isight....
the white plastic isnt welly sticked onto the macbook

i'm thinking of using glue to slightly cover it back...

i think its probably heat.. happened to my MBP much worse so i got the case changed free. numerous other things wrong and the service people i sent to damn cacat.. dare they call themselves authorised apple reseller.. i feel like complaining to usa about them so many things wrong with my macbookpro and then still don want to replace my comp. its only 3 months old MAX

actually i think it got nothing to do with the heat... it juz tat the plastic at the top is not nicely glued to the bottom part...

mine is on the isight part... i can juz slightly glue them back.... no heat around isight rite???

i felt the same, it not caused by heat....i got 3 part from his macbook got the problem..first, like the pic above, 2nd,around touch pad and 3rd, at the center of left screen(frame)...

OMG, MacBook certainly has a major flaw in the casing. In my school Sri Cempaka. We all use Apple MacBook's to do out school work. Almost all of my friends have the exact same problem where the casing sticks out a bit. Or maybe the front side or the other side sticks out. I don't assume that is a problem thought because my friends MacBook all got no problem. But one of my friend went to fix it and payed RM2700! Even though he had warranty. Comes out usually after 4 months or more.

i worry if it get worse...just call the seller to fix it...but,why ur friend have to pay it since he/she have warranty....this make no sense..!!

do i have to pay for it too??hmmm..........

@TechnoDude94: I think your friend should bring this case to the consumer court (if he keeps the receipt and took photos of the detached case) to claim back the 2700.

The laptop is still under warranty and this is clearly a manufacturer defect. I know as a student of Sri Cempaka, most likely he/she/you will be very well off but this is more of consumer rights. Who knows, this may actually create a precedent case and allow other macbook users who face the same problem to get their macbook changed without much problem caused by the apple dealers anymore.

Choose to be a smart consumer

I have the same problems with you. There are certain parts of my Macbook that doesnt "stick" together.

* On the left side, nears the USB port
* Top of Macbook, iSight
* Part of battery does not fit in properly

I won't be asking for a repair unless some other problem arises in the future. I think this is rather small esthetic issues....

but i think, may be in 1 or 2 month coming, the gap will get large...that what i worry about..

Warranty long long more to go.....

I think before any of my friends do buy Macbooks in the future, I would certainly ask them to check the fitting and then for any dead pixels before carrying that Macbook home....

same thing happen to mine as well, around the touch pad area. and i have one dead pixels. damn !

Increase the fan speed within the MacBook as mentioned by one of the other forumers here or in another forum to reduce the heat.

it got nothing to do with the heat dude = =.....
it's juz the top plastic isnt nicely glued to the bottom part.... how heat gone to the top of isight or the side on the slot dvdrom where most ppl got the same problem on places where heat cant reach??

i applied some uhu gum on it with a toothstick... my isight part there sticks back n look nice...

I think it is more of poor assembly than heat expanding the plastic. I remember mine having these gaps since the 1st day.

today is a good day...
from my earlier post complaining about maccity in malaysia we created alot of trouble for them because two of our computers many problems .... we just got called direct from Apple Australia.. and apparently they are sending 2 new machines for us... the MB and a MBP (apparently Santa Rosa ie latest spec). hooray then again... should do le.. heheh between the two computers got more problems than i can count on two hands.
