LCD screen popping off Macbook Pro

I just noticed my refurbished Macbook Pro's screen in the upper middle has popped off a little bit.  I pushed it back flush and ran my finger around the entire outer area of the screen to make sure no other areas pop off from the casing, but I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem and how did they fix it? Why would this happen?
I just got this about a month ago, and I know it's refurbished, but I'm still a little disappointed that this happened.  I have applecare so I'm assuming this will be covered. 

Take it to a Genius Bar.  Manufacturing defects are covered by both the standard 1-year warranty and the 2-years of extension covered by AppleCare.
Not knocking the Genius Bar, but ... have a good backup of your system as they will do any work required to bring it back to Apple-approved, including HD work.

  • Yosemite: Turning off Macbook Pro screen (lid open) with external monitor connected

    Here we go again, this worked pre-Yosemite. Now it seems this trick no longer works. After following these steps again the screen on my Macbook Pro now turns on after logging in and opening the clam shell.
    Anyone figure out/know a way to turn off the screen on the Macbook Pro with external monitors plugged in? (yes, closing the clam shell–but I'm referring to keeping the clam shell open with the display turned off)

    To execute in Terminal:
    sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"
    To undo in Terminal:
    sudo nvram -d boot-args
    Once you type it into terminal I believe you need to enter your password. I then restart my machine. Now the TRICK is to either restart your machine with the lid already closed (hit restart then slam the lid!) OR turn the machine on for the first time (then quickly slam the lid!) once you are past the login screen you can open the lid.

    Has anyone experimented with tip 2 (active corners)?  Perhaps it still works.

  • I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15".

    I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15". It doesn't resemble dead pixels I've encountered in the past (it is only visible behind a white or brightly colored background), and I'm positive it isn't sitting on the surface. The computer is only a year and a half old and my software is up to date.

    Hi austinbread,
    It is hard to tell exactly what your issue with the MacBook Pro’s display is, but it is possible that there is a pixel anomaly. See this article for further information -

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro.

    Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro. Any help? Thanks!

    I'm surprised that Apple would attempt such a "hack" design...  Switching graphics adapters mid-stream is no small task, and I can't imagine that they could ever make it work seamlessly.
    Keep in mind that the nature of the complex GPU beast is that graphics hardware doesn't all work the same (or right) and application software has to make decisions about what to do and what not to do, and even when to invoke certain workarounds - or it would never be possible to run on multiple platforms. 
    Yes, that seems wrong, but it's necessary and it makes developing cutting-edge graphics applications in the real world much more expensive.
    The decisions aren't re-made by an application all the time - that would slow things down terribly.  Instead, often the run-time environment is characterized at application startup and the features remembered for later use.  Modern applications actually even create programs (e.g., shaders or OpenCL programs) to run on specific GPU hardware, and they have to be compiled - something usually done by the application at startup.
    Now imagine that someone changes the capabilities of the graphics hardware completely after the application has started - even from one vendor's implementation to another (Intel to nVidia).
    Like I said, I'm surprised a reasonable system designer could ever think that swapping GPUs at run-time could be made to work.  At least Apple allows you to turn it off!
    Does Apple offer any "geek-level" configuration options that can force the use of a particular GPU for a given application?  It seems that this could be an automated workaround that would allow a given application to see only one GPU, which is what Photoshop appears to need here.

  • I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

    I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.

    How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

    Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

    I have a MacBook Pro that appears to have a screen defect, as shown by the image below. How can I have this fixed? If I have to go to the Apple store, will they still repair this screen, considering the MacBook Pro is over five years old (early 2008)?

    See my reply to you in that other thread.
    Good Luck.

  • Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help

    Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!

    Hi ..
    Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
    This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here >   Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
