Glass separating from display

Hello,
A few months back, I got a refurbished MacBook Pro 15" Unibody. Recently, I've noticed the glass covering the display appears to be 'falling off.' About a 3mm space can be seen between the top of the lid and the top of the glass. This computer has spent nearly the entire time I've had it sitting on a desk.
This seems very strange to me and I'd like to get it fixed, as I tend to obsess over these things. The closest Apple Store is ~80 miles away, and I can't be without this for very long.
Does anyone have experience with this issue? Will Apple fix, or even better, replace the computer? I've heard of Apple emailing a shipping label and overnighting a new computer when the return package is shipped. Ideally this is what I'm hoping to do, but I don't know if Apple will do this for me...
Thanks for your help,
Nick

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you are under warranty, call Apple and explain your concerns. You probably won't get a replacement machine, but you will very likely get a speedy repair. They will send you a shipping box.
My niece sent her MBP off for repair at 6:00 on a Tuesday evening. She had it back the following Thursday morning.
You should make a good backup before sending off your machine. Sometimes the drive is erased during the troubleshooting process, and if you have sensitive information on it, you may want to erase this information before sending it in.
Good luck!

  • Glass separating from display "Falling Off"

    My macbook pro warranty ended in December. since I bought it i've had major problems with the display. This is my 4th screen. it's literarlly falling off - as in I can see the camera from the inside that was like last month - now the everything left of the camera comes lose... can look down and see whats between the "glass". it's like the screen is held together with adhesive which isn't strong enough any longer...  everything from the right side of the camera is still sticking but I just want to keep it together until the new macbook pros come out or september for back to school specials....
    I have the unibody verison from 2009 the one with the removable battery. I just feel like something I spent over 2k for should hold together a little better than this?
    Suggestions?

    Call Applecare and ask to speak to a customer representative. Explain the issue. The previous repairs have been documented. Don't be surprised if they go the extra yard for you.

    My iPod display I separating from the chrome back. There are no close apple stores. What should I do?

    If covered by warranty, and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost. You can send it to Apple See:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ
    Otherwise,
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • IPhone 6 glass screen separation from body

    I've had my phone six for about a week and I noticed that there is a separation of the glass screen from the body on the volume side of the phone, warranty issue?

    As long as it is a manufacturing defect, then it is covered under your warranty. Return it to the place of purchase ASAP. Have your receipt of other proof of purchase. Be sure you make a backup ASAP. You should wipe the device, too: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

    Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
    I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
    Thanks in advance.

    yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
    sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.

  • CONVERSION EXIT to remove thousand separator from quantity field

    HI
    NEED HELP
    do u know any  FM or CONVERSION EXIT which remove thousand separator from quantity field.
    Eg. 1,234,567.11 SHOULD be displayed as 1234567.11

    Hi Chetanpatil.
    Try this:
    If your quantity has thousand separator as comma:
    translate lv_quantity using ', '.
    condense lv_quantity.
    If your quantity has thousand separation as dot:
    translate lv_quantity using '. '.
    translate lv_quantity using ',.'.
    condense lv_quantity.
    You'll need to check for the user thousand separator configuration in table USR01 field DCPFM or by calling BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL and act accordingly.

    Andres.

  • Prevent null values from displaying in answers OBIEE 11g

  • The lcd screen of my 15-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2009) is separating from the case. The glue failed due to the heat.  How can I get Apple to fix this factory flaw?

    The heat vented from the back of the laptop caused the glue to fail and now the screen is separating from back of the lcd case near the hinges. I know for a fact that this issue is known by Apple as I have seen the issue reported at least a dozen times.  This laptop was considerably more expensive than any comparable laptop at the time I bought it. I bought it believing that I was buying a quality product from a quality company.   I've owned many laptops and I have never seen anything like this.  My laptop is out of warranty but this is really besides the point.  This is clearly a factory defect that Apple should remedy.  What do I need to do to get Apple to fix this design flaw?

    Ask Apple.
    We're just regular users here, nobody from the company shows up except for the invisible moderator who purges your posts, threads or self. And if any employee is around, the lawyers probably prevent them from identifying themselves.

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

    Hello Nagaraju,
                           What you were doing is partially right.
    The correct format to write in the script is as follows :
    /:  if &PRICE& ne 0.
      &PRICE&
    /:  endif.
    This should work. Let me know how it goes.

  • Why are some of the tracks on a cd being separated from the album?

    I can't figure out why some tracks are separated from a cd.  It seems to happen if an artist is featured in a song on an album...it separates it from the entire cd and is listed as a single track and i can't put it back with the album unless I create an entire new playlist and drag it all over into there.

  • The starting quote marks at the end of a line in my epub file are separated from the words quoted.

    The starting quote marks at the end of a line in my epub file are routinely separated from the word quoted which appears on the next line. The formatting contractor accurance.com who prepared this epub file tells me that this is a feature of Adobe Digital Edition 2.0 and that there is nothing they can do to correct this. Are they correct, or else how can this problem be overcome?

    I'm not sure about buying css style sheets. 
    You don't need one for each book; if you want to have a series of books all with the same general format,
    then they should all use the same style sheet on a given device, but maybe different style sheets for different devices.
    All the books will then have one consistent look on a given device, and a different consistent look on another device.
    ADE only runs on PCs and Macs.  There are lots of different ereader software apps out there for running on different devices.
    For a dedicated device, you are stuck with the reader the device provides.
    For tablets you can download different ereader apps, for example Bluefire (my favourite, ios, Android), Aldiko (android) and DReader and DL Reader (windows RT).
    I don't know if the readers/apps are derived from the same root as ADE in any way and likely to show similar bugs.
    If it is not DRM, you should certainly try on Calibre, which is the most popular (free) ereader app for computers.
    If you care to create a very short non DRM extract (complete with css) and post it somewhere on the web I'll have a quick look.
    If you have inclination to get more involved yourself,
    there is free software called sigil (https://code.google.com/p/sigil/) that will help you get off the ground and experiment.
