You should have Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider examine the laptop to see if there is a hardware issue.


If the laptop wobbles while sitting on a flat surface, then the battery may be swollen and preventing the display from fully closing which may result in the Display becoming cracked and increasing the cost of the repair.
