MacBook Pro freezes when pressure put on bottom left corner

Hi all,

So this started happening a few months ago (it didn't happen often, but now it occurs almost daily). If I happen to apply any pressure on the bottom left corner of my Macbook, whether I'm picking it up or I happen to place my phone there, the screen freezes. It used to go black, as if going into sleep mode, and then wake up after a few seconds. Recently what's been happening is that it freezes (the screen briefly turns mixed colors) and I have to reboot. If I'm in the middle of watching something when it freezes it makes a strange clicking noise. It kind of sounds like the noise at the end of a record. After I reboot it works fine right up until the next freeze. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

You've given us a generic ID so I'll give you a generic answer.

You have crushed, or crimped something in that corner with constant, or one instance overpressure.

''After selecting the proper guide, studying it and the notes {not just reading it}, purchasing the proper tools)'.' Opening the box close examination with a Mark I eyeball and magnifier may find what is being pinched, or crushed and if you can restore the area to it's original configuration, or insert a shim to stop the crushing/flexing.

You'll want to correct the problem ASAP as the constant crashing can scramble your HD to the point it may no longer boot. Re-booting a frozen computer should never become SOP... that will eventually cease to be an option.

If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.
