    Weird bulge appeared on my MBP 15” 2018

    Hi guys! Recently I noticed this weird bulge on the right side of my laptop and I’m not sure what it can be. Some inner parts could be swollen, right? Quite long time ago (about 2 years) my right speaker stopped working and I know that that’s a hardware issue. Should I be worried? Right now I...
