Did you get a warranty with it. I'm assuming you cracked the casing? If you got it like that, why wait this long to deal with the issue.

Basically, with ANY product, you break it, your on your own. Unless you have a warranty, and the warranty covers damage you made.

This is actually a common problem on some macbooks.I have seen several of them where I work. Just contact Apple and be firm and persistent with them and they will usually cover fix it under applecare for you.

Applecare explicitly says that it will only fix problems from the manufacturer and you'll be hardpressed to prove it came like that. Otherwise they 80% of the time say it's not covered by applecare

Yeah that is true, but if you complain enough they will usually fix it as a customer satisfaction issue.
