I have a Mid 2013 13" MacBook Air and the hinge is broken, meaning that it will fall almost flat with the keyboard. Also, whenever I adjust it, the hinge makes alarming sounds :eek:. I'm guessing that this was probably caused by longterm stress on the hinge throughout the almost 4-years I have...- Flopstar

Spilled water on Macbook Pro a month ago
About a month ago, I accidentally spilled water on my MBP. As it happened really quickly, I stupidly assumed that no water entered the insides of the MBP and left it be (which I now realised was a terrible mistake as I should have turned it off and tried to dry it)!
