Keyboard Backlight Illumination Uneven After Lion

I have had my macbook pro for about 6 months having purchased it back in early February. After updating my computer to Lion a few weeks ago, I noticed my keyboard backlight is uneven. Is there any way to correct this issue by resetting something or does it need service? See pictures below for reference. I am pretty sure it isn't good. I have also had to have the power cord replaced in July so I do not know if it is related.

I know it is a bit of an angle with the light here but it is noticably brighter in the center and fades on the sides.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

The problem seems to be hardware related, so a software fix probably won't be possible.

You could probably fix it yourself, but since you have a unibody, I'd strongly suggest visitng the Apple Store's Genius Bar so they can take a look at it. There's a good chance that they can address the problem on the spot, free of charge.
