"The Apple Store just replaced the entire display of my early 2009 MacBook Pro for free, and it's been out of warranty for nearly a year. I was also having the problem of the aluminum housing separating from the glass, but all the way along the bottom and partly up the sides.

I actually took a photo of professorpolymath's post above to bring with me, and it served me well - I was able to give the tech assisting me the referenced article, EM209, and he pulled it up right away. I was out of the store in 15 minutes, and got the call that my repair was complete (completely free) less than 24 hours later."

"I had that same problem with my mac book pro A1286. my screen was separated from body,

I used different kind of glue after couple of days again separated, Then i found this 3M™ Windo-Weld™ Super Fast Urethane, This is usually used to bond vehicle windscreen to body, its did my job well. first clean both parts , remove old glue . when you apply glue use a clam or similar kind

of heavy object on top until its cure, i kept 24 hours ,

its a rubbery glue can withstand heat and vibration ,http://imageshack.com/i/ng8py1j"

"Someone has dropped it

breaking the hinges or been inside it. There are screws and catches to hold it in place - You need to disassemble and reassemble it properly.

Good Luck,
