Stainage on my MacBook

Hello I have recently purchased a MacBook Air m2 end of September maybe used it 4 times since and been keeping it in a laptop bag away. I have been very careful and clean with my laptop. I just now realised that on the camera and right and left side of where the screen starts I have brown spots that looks like screen is peeling. I had this issue with years old MacBook before but this is brand new and been taking good care of it. Does anyone know why it would happen and what can I do. Thank you in advance!

As we here cannot see the damage (?) we can only speculate.

You want a definitive answer about what is happening so you should arrange to have the laptop examined by a qualified tech who can tell you the problem and estimate the cost to repair. Being that the laptop is only a few months old, any factory defects should be covered under warranty.


You can make a Genius Bar appointment for hardware/software service and support using this link: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


Get your Mac repaired and see how much will it cost: Mac Repair & Service - Apple Support
