Macbook keyboard palm-rest area cracking!

[tilt]

Hi

I just noticed that the front-right corner of the area where the palm normally rests on the keyboard, the edge has cracked and is peeling off in my Macbook which is around 2 months old!

The Macbook has never been moved other than from my lap to the desk and back, and I always sit in front of the desk. It has never been dropped or hit or anything.

What are my options? Will Apple consider this "user damage" or do I have a chance of their doing anything about it - either repair or replace or whatever?

More importantly, has anyone here had a similar problem or known of someone who did?

Thanks and cheers

Is it cracked right the way through?

You could point out to Apple that if the crack had been caused by a drop, then you'd expect much more damage from a drop capable of cracking the case. In other words, as the crack is the only damage it is highly unlikely that it was caused by a drop.

Phone Apple to get a repair. Good luck.

Thanks Mr.H. I spoke with Apple and they have asked me to take the notebook to a reseller to assess the damage and propose a resolution. I shall keep you all posted :)

Cheers
