Findings
Findings
1234Display panel is powered and rendering terminal and IDE content uniformly across the full active area, with no cracks, dead rows, or backlight bleed along either bezel edge. The hinge is holding the lid open at a stable angle without sag, and no anti-reflective coating delamination (staingate) is visible on the inspected surface.
No action required. Continue normal use and revisit at the next scheduled inspection.
1234All keycaps are present and seated flat, and the trackpad sits flush with the deck — no lift or bulge that would indicate battery swelling underneath. Light dust is present across the keys and palm rest, and minor cosmetic scratches are visible on the deck on both sides of the trackpad; neither affects function.
Wipe the deck and keys with a microfiber cloth. Record the palm rest scratches as cosmetic baseline and recheck trackpad flushness at the next inspection.
1234The left-side I/O cluster — MagSafe, both USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, and the headphone jack — shows clean contacts with no bent pins, corrosion, or debris packing. The speaker grille perforations are intact and unobstructed, and the chassis base is seated flat against the table with no warping at the edge.
No action required on ports or chassis. Include a light dust wipe of the surrounding deck during the cleaning pass already scheduled.
