Cheers... hard to see in pic, but improved a lot. less visible now, and screen closes properly now. Basically positioned it on one corner with some books, and incrementally put my weight on the corner more and more, trying to keep the force on the aluminium, not the screen. taking it apart would be a huge job with risks, so better to get control of my OCD and learnt to be happy with some imperfections ???? Thanks

ok - you had an iPhone 5 and are now an Apple expert. I am not a CIO, but have several friends who are, and all are using Mac's for similar reasons below The first Mac I bought was 9 years ago - dreaded it the first few weeks - old dogs learning new tricks - Extremely stable software - An amazing Retina screen - I do have a windows laptop for some work things, the difference is clear - never had a virus (yes Macs are susceptible ) - got every year free new releases of software ( dont get that on windows ) -can close the lid and open later without getting a blue screen of death or hanging - Battery on my new one lasts 20 hours - Battery on my old one would still go for 3 to 4 hours - thats after 9 years of use !! Try that with a Lenovo - Screen hinges dont break after 3 years. - all windows computers I have had lasted 3 to 4 years max, - M1 pro Chip performance and the list goes on..... Anyway, my screen not perfect, but functional now. if closing it for next 10 years wth stress, it will break from fatigue, so problem solved.... yeh, if you drop them, you are in deep pain, b

Kinda get it, they dont replace the shell, they replace the whole thing including screen. Problem kinda improved.... what bends one way bends the other. Used a thick envelope and closed lid with some force.... which gave some separation and now screen closes nicely. Then turned it upside down on a bench and put my weight on it, so the bent up lip has retreated alot. not perfect, but looks better and more importantly, the lid closes properly now

Probably the least educated I have seen in some time, also not helpful. I was a Windows user for most of my life, and have been on Mac for 10 years now. I can compare unlike yourself. Thanks for the other OPs advice... a bit risky, but might see if can remove the shell and straighten it out. ?

Got a new Mac Laptop ... was ohhh so careful, but.... if fell and the corner bent They want almost 30,000 baht to replace the screen shell... ludicrous. anyone have any idea how to safely bend it back without stressing the hinges ? Thanks

VFS - Australian one - has been a gripe for mine for quite some time - what a terrible web experience. Spent an hour on the phone calling to home affairs in Australia - answer is - "not our problem, call VSF". Contact them with a long and very detailed complaint, and this is the answer Flabbergasted, speechless - as if they have resolved the issue. The oz side is either incompetent or on the take to blatantly let VFS get away with such shoddy service which we pay for.
