New MBP - hinge noise?

    I have the new 2010 Macbook Pro Core i5 machine I got in April.

    I'm getting a strange noise at the screen hinge nearest the power button. Whenever I move it it's like something is scraping off the side of the chassis.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    I'm worried it may become a problem down the line. Should I call Apple?

    Yes. Definitely not normal.

    I have the exact same thing on mine for the last 6 months or so. Let me know how you get one with it if you do ring them up!

    Jazus the things us Mac users have come to expect from our machines :P...and I don't mean that in a bad way.

    Ever hear the noises, creaks, clicks, dings that come out of "normal" laptops
