I received my macbook back today after the logic board and optical drive were replaced, all is good so far. I have noticed though, when reassembled the front left top case is a millimeter higher than the right... the right is flush with the bottom case. I really dont want to have it in for repair again for a such a slight concern. Does anyone know if this could be attributed to a certain set of screws that could be removed, case aligned, and then replaced? If not I guess i'll just deal with it.

Thanks,

CH

I wish I could help you. I have no idea. Perhaps if you consult the Apple Service manual? (if you can get your hands on one)

Here you go, man. This is what you need right here to make adjustments on your own.

Opening any part of the macbook does not void warranty. The Apple repairmen are probably usually a bit rushed, so I imagine they skimped on re-assembling your macbook

Just follow the iFixit guide and you should be able to fix it yourself
