I've had my MacBook for about 3 weeks, and I noticed today a problem. I have pictures, hosted on photobucket.




Please tell what you think happened. I've already spoken to Apple Support, and am receiving a box to return it, but I want to know if this is something I've done or what.
I brought a Higher Ground Shuttle and keep my MacBook in it, and have not dropped my Mac, but want other people's opinions on what happened.

How about some larger pictures? It is very hard to see what's going on other than the cover seems a bit lifted.

It's a cheap plastic laptop. You probably dropped it or leaned on it.

I don't consider 1K cheap, especially since this was brought with a school loan. My pictures blur when it's a close-up, because I guess my camera isn't really all that great, but when I look at it, my power plug is crooked and what is actually causing the separation. I have not dropped my Mac, as I stated in my 1st post.

I don't know if this is any better, but it does better illustrate the crookedness of the power port.

Looks like a defect of some kind. Return it to Apple for repair.

Have you tried just pressing down on it and putting it back in place.

TIP: move your camera away from the computer and us the zoom on your camera to get closer. Also look from a "macro" option, it usually looks like a potted plant or flower. You'll get a much better picture. I cannot see any detail that allows me to determine what is wrong with your computer with the pictures your provided. I can see that things don't line up right, but I can't see any detail that would tell me why.
