    Hi!

    My NP530U4C's screen bezel cover is coming off a little. More specifically at the lower left side. Here are some images:

    This one shows it once it has already been opened (it stays like that):

    It seems to be getting worse over time. Should I be concerned? Can I just glue it (I doubt it will be that simple though haha)?

    If there are no obvious scews to hold the bezel in place then it will have been glued and it's that glue which is getting tired.

    I would suggest using a small amount of a flexible glue such as UHU which you need to get into the gap and spread before holding the parts together for several minutes while the glue sets. It would be prudent to temporarity put some adhesive tape along the bottom edge of the screen next to the gap so that any glue which spreads onto the display can be easily removed.

    I got the laptop checked by an acquaintance and apparently one of the clips is broken. I'll get a replacement for the screen bezel cover and make my life easier by not messing up some cable in there or gluing what I'm not supposed to.

    Thanks for the reply @John Ratsey

    OK. Thanks for the update. I see that the bezel is available as a spare part. I had assumed that it would be glued like many of the other Samsung notebooks.
