Screen problem...

[shifty_uk]

I've had this problem with my screen for a long time now, but I've always just ignored it, hoping that I wouldn't need to send my Macbook back.

I thought I'd take some photos to let you lot see:

What do you think has caused this? No amount of cleaning will get rid of it. Should I phone up Apple and get my screen replaced?

Looks like a bunch of dead pixels, phone Apple I suppose

Definitely get it sent back. Is it under warranty?

It looks fine when you look at it head on, but when you look at it from the side you get the pictures above^.

I've only got a couple of weeks of my 1 year warranty left, better get on the phone quick.

I've seen that on an Acer before. I believe it to be caused by excess pressure being applied to the screen over time; perhaps when the lid's closed it's being pressed against parts of the keyboard surround?

Can't be sure this is the cause but it's my suspicion.

Hope this helps, null

i would personally send it back! its not right and i wouldnt accept it.

but saying that, could you really be without your macbook?!

Hmmm, I think I could for a week or two I mainly use it as a media centre. Everything else is done on my PC, gaming, work etc.

I've had it for 11 months now, would they still accept it and replace the screen? Otherwise, how much would it cost to be replaced?

This could be possible, thanks
