It is a known problem Apple is refusing to cover if you have so much as a scratch on the case. Call Apple Customer Service, and then escalate up to Investor Relations if you have to ( tell them you will sell all the substantial stock you hold in street name if they don't) fix the glue defect that is supposed to hold the screen aluminum to the plastic bits.


This has happened to hundred and hundreds of MBP 15's, many from the 2009 manufacturing timeframe.


And by all means, if they don't take care of you, tell everyone you know NOT TO BUY Apple products. Market forces are a wonderful thing !

I sent my MacBook in for repair I got it back with the screen falling off. It has been falling off for 4 years now. The whole screen falls off. I just pop it back on when I close my laptop for the night. Not a good thing considering the price we paid for this computer. My issue is, I purchased the new MacBook and want to sell mine. I cant sell it with the screen falling off. It's still a great computer, I've always used a keypad protector so the keys have never been touched. Runs great. Has a 1t hard drive. I have the 2009 15 inch. How can I fix this so I can sell my laptop? I've retaped it a few times but doesn't last. Thank you!
