unit fell, dented, corner is off-square.
The dog knocked my computer off the desk. The front left corner is dented in, causing the topcase (where palms rest... I know, the name is counter-intuitive. Apple coined it) to lift off of it, since it no longer nests properly.
I've tried urging it back to square using pliers and a soft cloth to guard the surface of the case. Not much luck. Any ideas? Would heat help? It is the corner where the hard drive lives.
I'm trying to fix the visible damage and avoid breaking something while I do it: I had gotten the unit back from Apple the day before it fell - they had done a Set Rate Repair, and the new visible damage would likely null the 90 day warranty they gave on all the work they did do. I may need to take them up on another issue associated with the repair warranty.

Still hoping for some advice on squaring off the case. Though it's not obvious from the photo, the corner is out of whack. If you look at both corners with the top case off, you can see that the right, undamaged corner is perfectly rounded and the left, damaged corner is squared off. The top case doesn't actually seat well enough in it to allow the tabs to hold.

A small hand file would be my suggestion. NO POWER TOOLS work by hand, draw filing would be the way I'd do it.
