MacBook Pro Warped Display - Warning

Hey everyone,Attempted a image engrave on a MacBook Pro and got a warped display. See pics. I’m pretty sure this was due to the large, complex image burning too much material away from the display but not sure. I wanted to show everyone so you don’t make the same mistake. About 60% through the image, the display became warped and popped open. Not only was the display damaged but because the MacBook was closer to the laser, the image was blown out. So just beware when doing a MacBook Pro to keep it minimal. You can see in the video the moment the display pops up. IMG_0004|video](upload://4LHrVVeRpHd9VIDD3Y5Z4m92E2L.mov)
