My lid is not aligned squarely with the case

I have exactly the same problem with my MacBook Air 2018 Retina.

The lid is not perfectly aligned after I had my screen replaced by Apple. Service guy could not align it properly. I mean it is working and maybe only cosmetic issue but its distracting me.

Could you do the alignment with only loosening 3 hinge screens ?

Due to technical problem my MacBook air 2018 retina screen has been replaced by apple. The person who fixed this could not make the lid perfectly aligned with the body and it is about half a millimeter leaning left.

It is not effecting the functionality but you feel it when you touch with your fingers.

I do not want to resend it to apple as I think they will accept to repair since its a very minor cosmetic issue.

I want to align this myself, I watch screen replacement videos but there are too many steps I believe unnecessary for only alignment.

Can I just loosen the 3 hinge screws, align it and tight them and close it ? without playing with cables or battery or wifi ?

Here’s the guide you’ll need to follow: Sostituzione schermo MacBook Air 13" Retina Display fine 2018

Sadly, the antenna bar sits on top of the screws which hold the display lid (Step 11) Once you get that far you have the needed access to the screws.

Sorry you need to disconnect the battery and remove the antenna bar.

Leaving the battery plugged in puts your system at risk of damage when you are poking around with metal tools which could cause a short! Big No No!!

You just can't reach the screws to loosen the hinges to align the lid without pulling the antenna off.

Thanks. Now i understand.

Will this void warranty ? My mba is covered with apple warranty until april. I could send it back to apple but since its an extremely minor cosmethic issue i doubt they will service it. Also they may not lt fix it perfect.

I guess they will understand the computer was opened by a thirs party person if i unplug the battery cord ? Or how they are able to know this ?

@can.cakmak - I would let Apple deal with this if its still under warranty.

Don't forget to score and accept the answer - Thanks!
