Hi all, one corner edge of my MacBook's screen has popped away slightly
from the backing frame (the outer edge where the frame fits into the
back of the screen). Here's a photo if I'm not describing it too well:

Anyway, you'd think a little pressure would pop it back in, but that's
not the case; apparently the little latch or hooking mechanisms that
hold it together are a little more complicated. Any advice?

Thanks,
Rog

Take it to an authorized Apple repair center and have it fixed right.

Just for posterity, and for anyone else looking into this problem (as
its probably fixed by now) The bezel on a macbook can easily and safely
be popped off by running a credit card around the inside of the screen
between the bezel and the screen. It is glued in the middle at the
bottom under the macbook logo so be careful, but it should come away
without too much fuss. Then you can pop all the little hooks in proerly
by seeing where theyre supposed to go. I'd wager this guy had
difficulty in popping the hook back in due to the glue.
