I have a MBP A1151 (17 inch screen). Its screen bezel cracked on the left side while closing the lid . I have oiled the hinges with Machine oil and then with WD40 but still the bezel lifts up while closing the lid, and it does not allow the MBP to close fully as a result. I opened the screen fully and filled the hole where the screw goes in with instant glue and also applied it on the surrounding area inside the bezel. But the bezel broke off again the moment screen was assembled to the MPB and closed down only half way.
I repair PCs regularly and I am amazed at this stupid design of MBP with so many people complaining about too much strain on the bezel while closing the lid. Is there lasting solution without changing the bezel or buying new one? I find that even adding a millimeter of anything on the bezel make the bezel rub and scrape the screen against the body of MBP. I am sure the problem does not sit with hinges but with the basic design of the MBP. Even loose hinges would put enormous strain on the bezel when the lower bottom screw on either side is broken off. I am thinking of putting M-seal adhesive permanently if nothing else works.
I have lost 3 months scratching head but never had a clue to what should be done. Any successful ideas that save money and fix the problem? thanks in advance.
