x230 repeated broblem with upper left corner of frame/bezel

Whatever it is called.
The upper left corner of the frame, where the display is located, seems to be broken the second time....
I got it repaired the first time, was not covered by warranty.

a very thin piece of steel sheet was broken..and now I feel it is broken again. It bends to touch, I believe it must be caused by repeatd assymetric pressure on the screen, as I open the lid taking it by the left side.

I would have thought this laptop should be durable enough to take this mechanical stress...anybody met with the same issue?

any idea re some simple amateur repair?

Are you talking about the area under the strip that's separate from the rest of the lid? Where the antennae are?
