[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1825953, member: 56379"] Same thing on my 17" 2011 MacBook Pro when it's battery was bulging. Since I was slow to purchase a replacement battery...and because the battery was so swollen...I actually removed some of the bottom cover screws to make some extra space so the trackpad would function. I have a Speck hardshell case on it...so this bottom cover not being fully attached wasn't an issue. Of course when I installed the replacement battery...the bottom case was fully attached once more.:) Might be temperature related too (expanded more when used & temp of computer increased). Gonna be a nice low cost computer still capable of doing a lot of day to day stuff (8gig of RAM nice too). If it doesn't already have an SSD installed...could pop in a low cost SSD ($25) as well.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
