I have a 2.16 C2D MBP that I purchased Feb. of this year that has a few minor problems. The problem that worries me the most is the left side of the LCD hinge is loose and makes creaking noises. The other two problems are cosmetic, but still bother me. The finish has corroded/worn off of the button to open the lid, and the power button is sunken into the top casing by a couple of millimeters.

I plan on taking it into the Apple store tomorrow, but I was wondering if any of you have had similar problems, and if so, what did they say/do about it at the store? I do have AppleCare, and the machine is still in it's 1st year that should be covered anyways...

just in case anyone was wondering, the genius i had an appointment with said the smashed in power button was pretty common, and he had seen quite a few of the loose hinges. He said he'd never seen the corrosion on the latch button, but he included that for replacement as well...
