    I noticed this the other day while cleaning my M17x. On the Upper-Right hand side of the screen, the glass has started to delam. The gap is only about 1/16th of an inch now, but i can see the adhesive residue. Im not sure if it happened over a period of time or was instant, as it isnt in the most obvious spot. I called Alienware and a new Screen is on the way. Anyone else had this problem?

    That's unfortunate .I have not seen this with my R1 or current R2 and to be honest not read anyone on the Forum with a M17x this has happened to.Hopefully its a one in a million that it happens.Good luck with the replacement screen. ;)
