Macbook Screen Out of Alignment

So, I'm extremely careful when it comes to my computer. It is always in it's protective sleeve when not in use. Despite this, it's starting to show some wear. I'm fine with that, but just recently, the screen has come out of alignment with the body of the computer. By this is mean that when the screen is closed it closes at the slight angle, and does not line up with the rest of the computer. I'm not yet sure if this is affecting the computer in any way other than appearance, but has anyone else ahd this problem? Is the repair covered by the warranty?
thanks.

My wife's Macbook has this problem. We took it to the geniuses at the Apple store. They said that this problem occurs when the notebook is dropped or display otherwise torqued in an unnatural direction. My wife is extremely careful with her Macbook, so I doubt that this is the problem, but whatever. The genius said that they are unable to do anything about it.
I would be curious to hear what other people's experiences have been like.

  • Completely new macbook pro 15" screen out of alignment.

    Hi,
    I ordered my first Macbook pro 15" retina on december 24th 2013 as a Christmass gift for myself. I recived it on my address January 2'nd i unboxed it an was really happy about, the only thing that annoyed me a bit was that the sceen is like half a milimeter to 1 milimeter out of allignment with the body, i know this isn't alot but i am a bit of a perfectionist so it annoyed me a little, so i told myself that it might just be normal that it is a little out of allignment.
    but today my girlfriend recived her Macbook pro 13" retina, and it is perfectly alignet with the body, so i decided that i had to ask in here if this is a common thing,
    Do i have to worry about this? will my screen become lose or even more out of alignment over time? or am i just to way sensetive and have to take a chill pill
    But again i paid almost 3000$ for the Macbook with Apple Care, so i dont want to walk around being worried about it having a failure from the factory,
    And 3000$ is alot of cash when you under education like me.
    i live in Denmark so i can't just take it to a Apple store and ask them to look at it, and if i have to return it then i have no laptop and i have quite alot of homework atm :/

    I called them and described the problem, and the guy in the phone immediately told that he was sorry, and that he will get me an other Macbook pro as fast a possible, and then he will send TNT to pick up my old one when i have recieved the new one.
    I should recieve a new Macbook on monday, and TNT will call me within 48 hours to arrange the pick up of my old Macbook,
    Awesome service, i can't affort 1 day without my Macbook and because of this awesome service i wont have to

  • Touch screen out of alignment

    Since latest update on Galaxy S3 mini, touching the screen typically connects to a link about two places above place touched, or not at all if no link. (Same problem on wife's phone.) Makes browsing nearly impossible, as have to guess where to touch.

    It's this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046017
    As a work-around, you can go into Settings -> Display and then uncheck "Scroll title bar".

    Hi,
    my macbook screen goes black at random points when I am using it. I know it is still running as music continues to play and I can vaguely make out the content of what is on the screen. Sometimes the screen will flicker between black and normal. Can I fix this?

    Could be the graphics card, run the Apple Hardware Test
    If the hardware test doesn't reveal any problems, use Lion Recovery.

  • My web pages appear out of alignment on small screens.

    Hi,
    My web pages are correct on my large monitor but, the right side of the pages go out of alignment on smaller screens such as my laptop or even if I reduce the window size of my monitor. I used a 2 col, hdr, ftr, liquid layout in html 5. I did a browser check and fixed the suggested errors but it didn't fix the alignment thing. The site is http://www.thelandingivylea.com

    You have the wrong design for a liquid layout. Since you certainly want to retain your design, give the DIVs fixed widths.

  • Out  to TV causes lines on macbook screen

    When I output to my TV using the Apple adapter, and as soon as I launch Front Row, my Macbook screen becomes nothing but lines, horizontally. The TV looks fine and I can watch it.
    This also happens if I'm connected to my TV and use VLC.
    After this happens the only way for e to get my macbook screen working again is to unplug the adapter.
    I also noticed that once I get the screen back Front Row, even though it's been exited, still is using 99% of my processor.
    So I guess what I'm saying is 'mirroring' my screen doesn't work.
    Never had this problem before.
    Thanks for any input.

    I'd guess that you are experiencing the same problem detailed in this forum discussion:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2402283&tstart=0
    Evidently, the last update to Snow Leopard, 10.6.3, has caused this problem. The solution is to switch back to 10.6.2.

  • Macbook screen not aligned to base

    Hi guys,
    I purchased a new MBP from Apple's website and noticed that the screen is not aligned to the base. It do not look normal at all as the laptop itself is not fixed properly. May I know if I can get help from anywhere to fix the issue? This is bothering me every time I open or close the laptop as it is very obvious.
    Thanks!

  • Macbook optical drive/ out of alignment?

    I was just about to burn a DVD when I realized my computer wont take the disk
    theres no disk in it. It appears I could force the disk in but I dont want to do that.
    Is it out of alignment? is that covered in the standard apple warranty?
    This happened on my previous iBook and the tech guy said it was my fault (I bent something?), but it was so easy he fixed it for free.

    Try rebooting your machine. I have had the drive mechanism get stuck and rebooting made it cycle. If this happens often you should get it serviced.

  • Help--why has MacBook screen gone dark and how do I get it back?

    I have a  MacBook (model 4,1  running OS 6.8).  I use the MacBook as my desktop computer in conjunction with a separate desktop monitor. Today, when I unplugged a USB hub from one of the ports (after carefully ejecting anything on the desktop that needed to be ejected before unplugging), the screen on the MacBook--not the separate monitor--suddenly went dark.  I thought it had gone to sleep or into screensaver mode, but noticed that the white light on the MacBook also wasn't showing. 
    The separate monitor display (on which I'm typing this message) seems fine.  I checked DIsplays/Arrangement in System Preferences, but both displays were detected in their usual arrangement, though I did notice that the working display has a white bar across the top but the MacBook display doesn't have one.  I clicked "Detect Displays," but that didn't change anything.
    I then did a restart, and things seemed to go as usual:  the shutdown went okay and on restart, the white light went on on the MacBook and the monitor screen lit up normally.  However, the MacBook's screen is still dark and the white light is off.
    Can anyone tell me why this happened and how to get my MacBook screen back?  I don't know whether unplugging the hub caused the problem or whether it was just a coincidence that something that runs the MacBook display happened to fail right then.  Would appreciate any help out there very much--thanks!
    PS: Just tried shutting down and powering on again with the separate monitor unplugged, but the MacBook screen still stays black and the white light shuts off as soon as the desktop loads.  When I plugged the separate monitor back in, it worked fine.  So the problem doesn't seem to be a conflict with the separate monitor (which I've used for years).

    Update:  I went away for an hour, and when I came back I saw that the white light had gone on as usual when the MacBook went to sleep.  When I touched the keyboard, both displays went on; however, the MacBook display went dark immediately and the white light is still out.

  • When in Final Cut My MacBook Screen goes black

    I was working on Final Cut on my Macbook Pro and everything was running smoothly until I used the "help" tab to find out how to freeze frame. I moused over to the drop down window to hit the command and I either clicked on it or something around it, then my screen went black. I have a dual screen and nothing happened to my external monitor. Now the weird thing is when I use any other program my Macbook screen comes back to normal. It even comes back to normal when a Final Cut prompt windows come up on the screen but as soon as I answer the prompt the screen goes back to black. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hit command+F12 and see what happens.
    It sounds like you've enabled Desktop Cinema Preview.

  • Crop marks out of alignment on double sided pdf

    I have an Indesign CS4 two page document I have saved as a press pdf with crops. The client has just told me the double sided proof has come back with the crop marks out of alignment (offset vertically). Isn't this something the printrer can easily sort, or should I be setting it up differently in Indesign??
    Cheers

    You should set it up as facing pages if it is double sided.
    I don't see a reason to do that for a two-page document. It makes it harder to scroll between the pages since thay are not vertically aligned on the pasteboard and it should have no effect on things like crops.
    And yes, screen shots of the page in ID and the PDF would help a lot....

  • External Display Causing MacBook Screen Edge Darkening?

    I recently purchased a Dell 2209WA monitor (rotated to portrait) and since using it I've noticed that my MacBook screen has a shadow down the right hand side.
    Now I'm assuming that some part of this new monitor isn't suitably shielded and is affecting my MacBook screen.
    I need to know whether this is causing any permanent damage or if it might be an issue with cables rather than the monitor itself?

    I'm a total idiot. It was late, but I'm an idiot all the same.
    Turns out the drop shadow from maximised applications crosses monitors...

  • MacBook screen freezing.

    The screen on my MacBook keeps freezing, and it is only when I hold the sides of the screen that I am able to use to momentarily. I'm out of warranty and I don't know how I can fix it. Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this issue?

    I may have (had) this same problem ... until I got it fixed today. My "fix" may provide you with some insights if your case is similar to mine, i.e. screen suddenly goes dark while I'm using it (like 99% dark - you may still see some faint outline of what was on the screen before it got dark) ... and tilting the screen may (or may not) bring the screen back (to normal) ... and you know the program (or music) is still running (while the screen is black). At times, the screen would flicker slightly ... before it goes dark, but it would resume if/when I touch a key. For the past few months, I would close the screen panel down (put it to sleep) then open it up to get the bright screen again. When that stopped working, I would tilt the screen at various angles hoping to get the screen (backlight) on again.
    I called Apple Support, and they wanted $49 before they start to diagnose the problem (over the phone) because my MacBook is out-of-warranty. (I bought it in June 2008). Anyways, I searched the web and figured out that the inverter board and/or cable (to the screen - on the left hinge of the screen panel) is the problem. It seems like a common problem with MacBooks. So, I brought it into an Apple store (Genius Bar) and got these parts replaced. It's a simple job ... and it did the trick.
    If you're a do-it-yourself person, you can get the parts (from Apple) and replace the components yourself. For some ideas of how to disassemble your MacBook (or other Apple computer), check out: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/mac-repair.php

  • Macbook screen goes black for a few seconds then reappears fine

    The last two days my macbook screen has gone black for a few seconds then reappeared a few seconds later. Its as if it goes to sleep for a few seconds. The two times it has done this it has been charging. I have checked for hotspots but i have not activated any. I only bought the macbook air two months ago and have been really careful with it so i am confused.
    any help? Please?
    Thanks people.

    Hello @bobbiy58,
    I understand that your HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC is going black for few seconds and coming back. I need to ask has this just started? Like since you connected your X-box? If so have you tried disconnecting the X-box to see if it stops?
    Please re-post and let me know. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
