Lo all,

Some of you may remember just under a year ago I had the screen replaced on my MBP 3,1 because of a strange grey 'blob' that had appeared on the screen.

At first I thought it was something to do with the backlight but later found out that somehow dirt had found its way in between the layers of plastic that make up the screen.

I had Applecare so it was replaced for free.

Anyway, it's happened again. :( I've just been into the Apple Store to sort out another replacement and they have been great about it, very apologetic that it's happened again etc.

It's just a shame that their (at the time) top of the line laptop screen has this inherent fault.

It's quite easy to see how it happens when you get close to it, because there's a tiny gap between the outside of the case and the panel.

I know the new MBPs are completely sealed so it's unlikely to happen to any of the new laptops. I just don't want it to happen for a third time and I'm not sure what I can do to prevent it.

3,1 is the same of mine! Do you have a pic?

Never seen/heard anything like this before tbh!

Mines going in to get the DVD drive, top cover and screen hinges replaced as well as a clean before I sell it.
 
Sorry about the state of these shots - I had to take them on my iPhone because the USB cable for my D50 has stopped working.

I'm not sure if this problem occurs with any of the other screens but I have heard about it happening to other 1920x1200 Glossy screens for the MBP 3,1.

It doesn't look like much but trust me, it's damn annoying.
