Cracked Bezel MacBook Air M2

I'm not too sure how it has happened but a crack has formed on the metallic bezel at the bottom of my MacBook screen. It is localised to a single point and almost looks like it may have been caused by the hinge itself. There has definitely never been any debris close enough to the laptop to cause this type of damage, unless a bit of dirt or cat hair managed to cause the bezel to break (which seems unlikely, unless the apple screen it just very weak).

Has anyone experienced something like this?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.2

I got a similar crack on mine. Used it all morning and closed it during afternoon, opened a couple hours later to see it was cracked. I always open and close it gently holding the center or both the corners. How much did they charge to change the screen?

Estou com o mesmo problema. Você entrou em contato com a garantia no Brasil mesmo? Você tinha o AppleCare+ ou só a garantia normal?

Estou com o mesmo problema, ;/

My biggest recommendation for you is that you take it to an Apple Store. I did this twice (December 2022 and February 2024) and both times I got a free display replacement for my M2 Air.
