Macbook air m1 bezel crack

Since Apple warranty doesn't cover accidental damage, unless you've bought AppleCare Plus, to fix that is going to cost you at least half the price of the computer. As long as it doesn't spread into the viewable screen area I would't worry about it....I'd be sad but I wouldn't worry.

One can Open the proper way, as you have been doing - the crack may have occurred during the Closing process. A Pen, wire from charger basically anything that come between the Display and keyboard can cause the crack.

Hope one uses the exact same method of closing the lid as used for opening. Have seen many people claim cracks happen when adjust the screen angle with one hand BUT grasping the screen bezel for a corner. All the Physical Energy transferred from Hand to Bezel on one corner caused torque Energy to warp the screen and Cracks in Display occur. The Two hinges require equal press to function as Designed.

As woodmeister50 stated it could spread or it might not….there's no way to tell. I would suggest that you not open, close or adjust the angle of the screen by the corners, only by the top middle of the display case.

Thank you too :-))

IMHO - the same way the computer lid is opened should also be used to adjust the angle once opened and same way to close the lid. That, or Two Hands on both side of the bezel for adjustments to angle and / or close Lid. It just seems natural to work with the designed two hinges instead of a lazy way - one had and all the force / energy on only one side and risk of cracking screen

Same thing happened to me. I closed the computer, a 3 month old macbook pro m1 13 inch, all was fine when I opened in the morning I noticed the crack on the left side. I was thinking to purchase from ebay a new bezel strip and just placing it over the original. Before I do this does anyone think that would cause more problems? Best

Heat gun, $13-15 part and about 10 minutes... half of that time is to heat up your coffee and go to the bathroom before hand. Just be careful with the heat around the display (keep passing and don't let it sit there)

And are their chances that it will spread

It could spread or it could stay like that until the laptop is no longer of any use.

Cracked glass can be funny that way.
