    Issue with my m1330, not sure if it's a big deal.

    Tonight I got my refurbed xps m1330. The only thing I have noticed so far is that on the silver area right beside the right side of the screen it is slightly bowed out in the middle. Looking dead on you can't really tell. When looking at it from the side you can definitely tell. I'm wondering if the fix is as easy as having a tech come out and put a little glue under the area to affix it back to the side of the lcd? I haven't called dell about it yet as I just got my laptop tonight and I'm not sure if they will just laugh at me for wanting this small issue fixed or not? Would this cause dust to get into the side of the led screen? This is my first Dell laptop so I'm not sure if little things like this are expected or if I should be picky and insist this get fixed. Obviously if it will have a detrimental effect on the laptop I will insist on getting it fixed, I'm just not familiar enough with these types of things to know whether this is a significant issue or not. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I would definitely get it looked at.
    I mean, it wouldn't hurt right?
    And because it's Dell, I think that they will replace it for you!
    Although, it might take a while!
    But, in my opinion, I would say call. You have nothing to lose! And it's not like they're going to force you to pay to get it fixed if it does cost money.

    The LCD Bezel is just a pressure fit piece that clips in. If you press it in and it doesn't stay, perhaps a small clip has been broken off and you should ask for a replacement bezel. It can take a little working to get it to clip in properly.

    Thanks for the responses. I'm going to give Dell a call and get it fixed.
