The screen's hinge is uneven Retina macbook pro

Well this is pretty OCD but when I paid as much for the computer as I did, I expect it to be perfect.
Ive only just notcied this, and I have bumped into a door fram with my mac and have put a tiny knock on the edge of the back of the screen.
Currently the higne sits about a millimetre to the left, and is off centred. The contact point between the black hinge and the body on the left hand side is very snuge, while the right side is like I said a mil off touching each other
So far there is no problem with the hinge catching and no noises, so all is good. But i would rather it sitting perfecty. Apart from pulling it apart, is there any other way i can get to move it back to the centre?
on a side note: My mac also experienced creaking from the unibody and I had to visit to a repair shop for macs to get them to tighten the screws (which fixed the problem)

So if it's not perfect return it.

  • Can I wirelessly display the screen of my 15 inch retina Macbook Pro to a Thunderbolt display ?

    Can I wirelessly display (like via bluetooth) the screen of my 15 inch, late 2013, Retina Macbook Pro, to a thunderbolt display ?

    They can fix it, but not for free. Macbook repairs supposedly are classified into 3 tiers by an Apple Rep, I for least amount of damage and III for most. I have a dent in the corner of my MBP and it would require new housing to get it fixed. $450 (tier I) or ~half the cost of a Macbook Air on education discount... HA.
    If it doesn't affect your everyday computing, I wouldn't worry about it. It's awful, but welcome to the club

    You can look here to see if they have anything available for your model, but be advised even opening a Retina voids the warranty.

  • WHAT is the use of a retina display when you can't watch DVD movies? what's the purpose of a super thin retina macbook pro when you need to buy an external optical drive? doesn't it defeat the purpose already?

    i don't care if my macbook is a little thicker as long as i don't need to burden myself of an external optical drive just for a simple  and common task of watching/listening to discs.

    I'm confused, why did you choose to buy the retina model if you don't like it? This is exactly why Apple still manufacture/sell the 'old' style MBP which is thicker and has an optical drive built-in!

  • The left side of the hinge cover on my Macbook Pro, is this something I should be concerned about?

    The black plastic hinge cover on my Macbook Pro has a loose left side, it feels like it's not against the hinges like the other side is. When I push down on the cover it feels like there's empty space between the cover and what I assume to be the hinges. I was wondering if this is something I can repair myself or if I need to take it to Apple? I have coverage for hardware issues until April 2012.

    If its covered just take it in.  If you tinker with it and something else happens to it you void the warranty.  My philosophy is, if there is a warranty, use it.m that's why they were created.  To protect the buyer in cases like yours

  • Retina Macbook Pro Scaled Resolutions all screwed up!

    HI all,
    I've tried everything, but my MacBook Pro's scaled resolutions are all screwed up. I usually use the second from the right (see screenshow below) however now selecting that resolution switches the display to 1024x640 (HiDPI). So instead of more space, I get significantly less than the standard retina resolution, which is really odd.
    In addition to this, the highest scaled resolution is now 1440x900 (HiDPI) resolution, which is the standard Retina resolution! So there's no difference bewteen the middle setting and the one on the far right.
    Screnshot: http://cl.ly/image/03311Z1I1L2r
    As you can see, I have the max scaled resolution selected, but it's displaying at 1440x900.
    I tried resetting PRAM, and trashing the com.apple.windowserver.plist file, but no dice.
    If anyone can help I'd really, really appreciate it
    Many thanks,
    Marcel

    Fixed it. Looks like I'd accidentally deleted some files from /System/Library/Displays/Overrides while trying to get an external display to work correctly.
    To fix the issue I copied all the overrides from a friend's Retina Macbook Pro, and placed them into my overrides folder. Worked like a charm.

  • Is it normal for the retina macbook pro screen to wobble?

    I have a retina macbook pro 13inch 2014 version. Whenever i play the laptop on a flat surface for the first time it wobbles a bit. Is it normal for the screen to wobble a bit while placing it on a flat surface? After that initial wobble there is no wobble.

    No, that is not normal. There could be some problem with the screen.
    As it is still under warranty, why not go to an Apple Shop and ask them about the problem?

  • Uneven backlight is "normal" on retina MacBook Pro?

    I bought my 13'' Haswell retina MacBook Pro days ago, I've experienced the unresponsive trackpad issue and I'm happy to see it's already resolved. But now I've encountered a new issue, and it's about the display.
    As the picture above shows, in low ambient lightning coditons, I can clearly see the brightness is uneven, the top left corner and the left bottom of the screen is brighter. The center of the screen seems brighter, too. But please ignore it because I suppose it's because of my poor phone camera quality, I don't see any significant brightness with my eyes.
    I was considering replace it at first, but later I called Apple, the advisor told me it's "normal"!!! Actually, he said according to my description, my symptom is not very profound, of course I can get a replacement if I insist, but he really can't promise I'll get a better one since it's a normal issue on IPS displays...
    To my knowledge, among all the Macs, only iMac and retina Macbook Pros use the IPS technology. I agree that my sympton is not that profound. The first time I noticed it is when I try to watch a movie in a dark night. In normal use, I can't say I have much bother. Except when I let the browser enter the full screen mode, since most sites use a white background, then I can see a small area of the left bottom of the screen is a little whiter, which is not profound but kind of distracting though.
    I've asked one friend of mine who used the 2012 rMBP and he said he have the same condition too... So now I really wonder whether it's a common issue as the advisor said. Please download this full black image, open it and go to the full screen (or presentation) mode. Turn off your light and increase the brightness of your screen if it's set too low. Then check whether you have the same issue with me. Thanks a lot!

    Yes, I also have the same problem on my late 2013 rMBP. I've returned the model 4 times already due to various defects. Can anyone see the uneven white balance from left to right screen where left side looks more yellowish?Very disappointed at the quality of the screen. Looks like this is "normal." Should have purchased the New Samsung ATIV 9 instead.

  • Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro 15" uneven illumination alongside top edge

    I have just bought the new retina MacBook Pro 15" and have experienced some uneven illumination alongside top edge of the screen. I took it to the Apple store and they offered me a replacement. I thought, sweet! However, the new machine seems to be exactly the same. Now this is not noticable when the screen doesnt move, but it becomes a little bit irritating and visible when ones moves from desktop to desktop or among fullscreen apps. You can see the illumination is not the same and as a result, two darker spots appear. Can anybody else confirm this is on other machines as well? I don't mean to be overly picky, but I think it's a bit unfortunate on a computer with this price tag. Thanks!

    Hi Yuri, I have the same problem... and the advisor told me it's normal!!! https://discussions.apple.com/message/23766101#23766101

  • In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?

    In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
    When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
    How can I type using the Apple Symbol font?  I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

  • Retina MacBook Pro Screen Flickering

    I've experienced screen flickering three times in the last week on my month old MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Each time it's happened I've had either Safari or Chrome running flash. The flickering gets worse when trying to jump to a certain time on a YouTube video and when scrolling. The issue disappears after a restart. I've tried to duplicate it on my own, but I can't. I had automatic graphics switching on and off and neither fixed the problem. I'm covered under Apple Care and I'm thinking of paying the Geniuses a visit.
    I found a video on YouTube to give a better understanding of the problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq0l-bHmSYE
    It's identical to the video. I've not experienced any other problems other than this with my rMBP.
    I have a few questions:
    Anyone experience this? If so, what did you do?
    Could this be a graphics issue? If it is, can it be repaired, or will Apple have to replace the Retina MacBook Pro?
    Thank you.

    Well i took mine back to Apple Store and got it fixed for free under my warranty. Mine was like 4 months old when the problem occured. If you still have Apple's warranty take it back and let them fix it, because there isn't anything you can do about it or fix yourself.

  • New Retina Macbook pro 15 Haswell system yellow screen??

    Can someone comment or verify if there is a problem with the New Retina Macbook pro 15 Haswell system screen?  Something concerning a yellow screen.  Is this a problem?

    Before you get too deeply into screen switching, you might take a look at what's probably the longest thread in the Apple Communities. Then, try the Expert calibration mode in Display Preferences>Color to see if that helps.
