Ya he just said he will correct it the same day he gets it. Its 5 min to open it up, the chip is screwed in and there is play in the holes.
Kinda want to open it up myself and do it, but don't want to lose my warranty if case something goes wrong.
Thank for that, I assume thats the only tool I need for the casing. Then whatever the screen is held on with.Well if you do take it on yourself do it right and get a Torx T6 so as not to screw up the screw heads.

Looking for it now.Not real sure what the fasteners are inside or how the battery tube is connected. There are some pics of a SXmini S disassembled earlier in the thread I believe.
Found it. If the M class looks exactly like this, I just have to unscrew the casing and move the board barely.The SXmini's build quality is very good. The board is actually secured with screws, and is very neatly done. The build quality rivals many of the high-end mods I've owned over the years. Quite impressive for a production device. Here is a pic of the S Class internals posted by another member in the SXmini thread:

Thanks man. It looks very easy, just like the guy from varitube said.Here's some more from another thread also. Pretty much show the same thing though.

Thank you so much.Here is a link to the disassembled SX Mini m Class from aussievapers.com:

What it really comes down to is I shouldn't have to send my brand new device back in to be worked on. Varitube should send all defective devices back to YIHI for them to fix and get their QC correct. I don't think I am going to ship it back. Basically what I am doing is paying for the device "new" then getting it refurbished.
Plus when a new mod comes out in 2-6 months thats better than this, Ill just sell this one and buy it.
You're a better man than I. I wouldn't take the chance of opening up my SX mini, I would send it back for a new one but if you feel confident go for it

It's "possibly" not that easy. I looked at your pictures, and the screen appears to be slanted upwards (in the picture you are holding it horizontally with the fire button on the left), while the USB port is basically hitting the left or down side. As i pointed out, this is one single board (all attached) and if it was simply screwed in wrong the USB port would be off towards the top/right -- which is what led me to believe it is the actually screen on the board placed wrong. Hopefully there is enough play in the screw channels to adjust it without moving the bottom -- which you have no room to play is the USB cutout.
It might not bother you that much, but if you plan on selling later on (like you said) the buyer might object to this more then you.
Here's a better pic of the board so you know what you are up against....
So why not make sure your resale is high as possible and get it corrected by Varitube, as it costs you nothing but some time away from the device. The second owner won't be able to do that as easily. And it'll tame that bellyache once you get it back and it's not triggering your OCD or elevated expectations for a $200 mass market device purchased over the internet.
Seriously, what Varitube is doing is what 99.9% of the online vendors out there that aren't Amazon, Apple and Google require when something is defective.
Good deal take some pictures I'm sure your not the first to get a crooked screen.From my understanding of the responses from varitube, its a quick easy fix and it seems to happen frequently, as in he has repaired quite a few like this. If this is the case then he states the board has a little play with with screw holes. I did some more research and feel confident in opening it up to just "look" at first. If I see that I can easily do it, then I will go ahead. If I have any doubt I will screw everything back and send it in. Again, I will only proceed if I feed 100% confident I can do it. From all of the internal pics so far, looks simple.
Again, I will record me doing it in case anyone else ever trys it.
There was some gunk though, especially between the wraps, and I guess that's what played a role in the resistance creep. Or... maybe because it formed a thin layer over the wire, it generated more heat quicker? Is that possible?
