MacBook Pro 17" lid won't close

Surely I'm not the only one. Is this a hardware or system problem? Under no circumstances will the lid stay closed on my 17" MacBook, even when I shut it off. It sits about 1" open. Do I take it in for repair, or is there a quick fix?

If the latch won't catch and keep the laptop closed, then that definitly is a servicable problem. It may be that the hinge attaching the screen to the laptop base is torqued a bit tight (heard of this problem before with 15" powerbooks). I'd take it in and have it repaired before the year waranty is up. I'd also recommend an extended waranty for a laptop, because a mobile computer has the chance to suffer a lot more problems than a stationary mac pro/imac/macmini.
 
yea take her in for service. its prolly a quick adjustment they will do there. i mean you do have the 1 year parts and 90day phone tech support.

Work with that and see what they say
