Hi All

This evening I have just notice something on my screen and never noticed it before....

I put on a plain solid wallpaper on my desktop and i notice on the left hand side of the screen it got a darker shadow about a inch wide compare to the centre of the screen and on the right it the same but just a bit less.

Is this a known problem or is it normal?
 
What size screen do you have?

Is it a recent machine (one with the LED backlight)?

If not, or you have a 17" then you have a backlight bleed :)
 
Nope it reaching up to 1 year old and is a 15" I only started to notice never was there before would apple do anything it went for a new power button 4 weeks ago
 
The pressure on the LCD panel (caused when changing the button), has probably given the backlight an uneven spread.

No way to prove that though..
 
I am back alive just picked up my MBP after dropping it off at the apple store yesterday afternoon and i have had a brand spanking new LCD fitted and it is great no problem at all now. Now I got a new case on it as the other has some bad marks on the edge this now look like a new machine :)
 
Why how long has it taken to do yours? They did mine quickly as I had a go at them as the problem happened after they fixed my power button so they did it a matter or urgent call Pro Care free of charge.

8 days to do less work than yours, and they still failed at doing it properly. :(

I've had very good experiences with Apple repairs. My CD drive failed and they replaced it in one hour in the christmas period.

Then I had a backlight issue and it was ready to collect the day next:)

Maybe you were just unlucky? Or they were particularly busy?
 
That is impressive to be fair. Imagine PC world doing that #####SHUDDER####

None of this really helps me as I am desperate to save for a house but keen to get an air or MBP :'(
