    So it's not really a MacBook, it's a MacBook Pro.
    I've heard about certain problems with the hinges holding the lid. Even if you don't have Apple Care it might worth giving them a call.
    Since it's difficult to say what the actual problem is without disassembling the unit, you might want to do that. (Only recommended if you are very comfortable with laptop internals and possess the required fine motor skills+patience)

    This guide can be of help, although the process is to do something else:
