Air bubbles on display

I purchased a 21.5" iMac a couple of weeks ago, and am noticing slight air bubbles on the display. Not overally visible during use, but on a black background very clear.
Is this a warranty issue?

Yes start by going to: > Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support
Optionally if you bought it from an Apple Store or Apple Retailer, then return it for a refund or replacement.

  • Air bubbles in display W700

    A few weeks ago I noticed what I thought was a pixel-related artifact, but on closer inspection it looked more like a chip. As I don't often use the tablet display - I usually rely on the HDMI out to a large monitor - I have no idea how long this has been present. Additionally it is is positioned in the lower right corner above the Windows system tray. Further investigation - prompted by the appearance of what appears to be an air bubble in the upper right area of the tablet - reveals that the original artifact is also an air bubble. I've achieved some manipulation of its shape to confirm this. Has anyone else come across his problem? Does anyone have a solution, or do I need to return my tablet? Thanks,Christian

    I have the same problem, have contacted Acer about this due to mine being out of warranty and they advised I would have to pay to get the tablet delivered to acer, they would then quote me for replacement and then I would to decide if I wanted the item fixed.
    The bubbles on the screen move about and differ in size constantly, for such an expensive item it is quite annoying.
    And now it seems like I'm not alone with this fault, surely Acer should do a recall?!?
    A replacement digitiser screen through amazon is about £57, I would attempt it myself but am not confident enough to remove the org digitiser layer.. Anyone attempted that?

  • Air bubbles under glass display

    Hello,
    this morning I spotted air bubbles under the display and even under the "white space" of my almost new (about one month old) Iphone 4 (16gb).
    I think I didn't notice these bubbles because until this morning I kept the original plastic screen on the display.
    Now I tried to contact apple support but when I type my serial number here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/contact/
    it won't show me anything.

    I also have the same problem - but on an iphone 3GS. Am assuming the only way air can get in is during manufacture?
    Out of warrenty. Anything I can do? Have seen posts saying if you ignore it it gets worse, but don't see why I should have to pay to rectify something that was created during manufacture

  • Air Bubbles Inside Screen?

    Hi, I've had my 3Gs for about a year now and around December of 2010 it started a small bubble developed on the left side of the screen.. I paid it no mind as it was very minor and I'm expecting to get the next iPhone when it is released.
    However, the air bubble has grown tremendously and just looks atrocious. And to make matters worse, a second air bubble on the right side of the screen is developing at an even faster rate.
    My question is, will I be able to visit the Genius Bar and get this fixed/replaced? Or am I just out of luck?
    I'm at work now, I'll post pics sometime tomorrow after I get off in the AM..
    Thanks a million!

    Have you ever had a rock hit the windshield of your car and leave a little nick in it (not a crack, just a little divot where a tiny piece of the glass has chipped away? That's what I mean by a chip. A nick. A piece of the glass that has been broken from the surface of the display.
    As has already been stated, if it was a manufacturing defect, it would have been there since day 1. Since you said it appeared later, that means the glass came in contact with something hard enough to take a piece out of it.

  • Hi, can i use my macbook air as a display for my PS3?

    Hi,
    I want to connect my PS3 to my macbook air as its display.  Is it possible?
    If it is. what cable do i need?

    It can actually be done, yes. You just need an application called "type2phone", which is available in the Mac App Store. Note that it does cost $5 (kinda steep for a novelty).

  • My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas

    My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

    Are you seeing this
    when you double click on a thumbnail file?  If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken.  Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Air bubbles not going away

    i have this 30 gb iPod and i put a bullet-proof shield on it and it advertised the air bubbles were going to go away in a couple days. I'm worried that the bubbles are being trapped in the click wheel and select buttons and will never go away. pushing it out with any sort of material (i.e, credit card, hard plastic, & my finger) won't move it. It seems that the click wheel isn't level with the face and so it traps bubbles. All the shields I've tried haven't worked because of the click wheel. The Bullet-Proof shield even advertised on their website that you didn't need to put any soapy water on it for application. Btw, the bullet proof face plate for the ipod is one big thing. There aren't cutouts for the click wheel.

    Pull out the device battery while your device is on. This will make your device a hard reset.

  • Macbook air 2012 not displaying icon on the top right corner

    hi guys
    as the title, my macbook air isn't displaying icon on the top right corner. for instance, my volume icon and wifi icon disappear. furthermore, ocaasionally there some flashes on my screen. this never happen to me before and i am reinstalling my OS 10.8 right now. Anyone know what is wrong with my laptop?

    Hi Matze_Moto,
    It should not be an issue. What you are seeing is the ability to Mirror your display to an Apple TV. If you feel that there is an issue, click on the menu to see if it is actually connected to another display. Check out the article below for more information.

  • Air Bubbles on Kevlar back of Droid Raxr Maxx

    Does anyone know if there is a protective plastic layer that needs to be peeled off on the Kevlar back of the Droid Razr Maxx?  I am getting a lot of small air bubbles on the back of my phone.  I don't want to just start peeling away if there isn't anything to peel off.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    I understand the need to be cautious.  There is a protective film cover that is on the back of the Razr and I'm confident this is what you are referring to.  Please remove cover upon your desire.  Thank you.

  • Air Bubble on my 5s Screen

    Guys help after i romove my screen protector on my iphone
    i notice that there is a air bubble on my iphone screen on top
    left. Its been irritatating. What will I Do??? Help plss

    I Know what the problem is, the same thing happened to my iPhone.
    The bubble is just from heat, which means that your iPhone basically melted underneath the top glass layer. This happens to many iPhones, and iPods. The bubble  will usually form in the corners, or, around the edge.
    If you have Apple Care, bring it into Apple and you will either receive a new iPhone for free, or, you will receive a new iPhone for a low price. 
    If you don't have Apple Care, the bubble will not effect the way your iPhone works in ANY way.  You can just wait until your phone contract ends, then trade in your old iPhone for your new iPhone, and Apple will still take your iPhone.
    I hope that helped!!!

  • Air bubble on underside of MacBook

    My white 13" Macbook appears to have developed an "air bubble" on the rubber cover on the underside. I assume this is where a lot of heat is generated. Is this a known issue and is it covered by warranty?

    Very possibly your MacBook would be covered under Apple's MacBook Bottom Case Replacement Program. Call Apple's tech support and find out. If you have already paid for a repair that would be covered you may be eligible for reimbursement.
    Best of luck.

  • If I don't have a warranty and my iphone 5c screen has an air bubble will they fix it ?

    Why would your iPhone 5C not have a warranty? Has it sustained physical damage?

  • Macbook air with thunderbolt display - windows stuck on air's display

    I have a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt display. When I use the Air without the Display attached, the windows gather on the Air's display. When I return to the setup with the Display included, some of the windows remain on the Air's screen making it impossible to get to them without opening the Air and manually moving the windows around. The Air is tucked under the display, and opening it to move the windows back to the Thunderbolt Display is a PITA.
    Despite the lid being closed (and never having been opened after waking from sleep/connecting the Thunderbolt Display) the Displays control panel still sees that display as active.
    I cannot find a way of moving the windows back to the main screen unless I'm lucky enough to grab the right spot to move the windows to the larger display.
    1. How do I get the Mac to recognize the Air's lid is closed, and to disable the built in display?
    2. If that's not possible, how do I use Mission Control (where I can see the windows) to get the windows moved to the right screen?

    I have no idea where that dirt came from. I really have no clue what it is, and it won't go away by blowing in it. I will contact local authorized store (there is no Apple stores in Croatia) but I highly doubt they'll be able to do anything without taking the laptop apart. Although I highly doubt it could it be rust from cleaning my MBP? I always put a couple drops of water on cloth I clean my macbook casing with. I have no idea if I am going to be able to do anything at all because the gap is really small, pin couldn't get to that dirt. I don't know what that could be, I never eat or drink close to my mac. Just my luck. What's Q Tip? Never heard of it since I live in Croatia

  • How to properly disconnect a MacBook Air from TBolt display?

    Hello everyone,
    Here is my setup: I have a 13" i5 MacAir, connected to a TBolt display. Also connected to the display I have an Apple USB full size keyboard and my network, plus an USB HDD for TimeMachine. Laptop screen stays closed all the time, so I am basically using only the TBolt as a display.
    From time to time, I need to take my Air out to a meeting. I disconnect the power cable, wait for the Air to go in stand-by, then the TBolt cable. Every time, my Mac OS complains that the USB HDD was not properly disconnected and I have to unmount it first. If I would do that, it would mean that each time I reconnect my Air to the display and its power, I would have to unlplug the HDD and replug it, otherwise it would not be mounted back.
    Well, is there a way to safely disconnect my Mac from the display and stop the OS complaining? Doesn't Mac OS know to properly handle the situation? It is far from "it just works" in my opinion

    Pulling the cable out of a mounted (usb) drive is not the proper way to disconnect it and that is why you are getting the error message.  Doing this runs the risk of leaving the drive's file system in an indeterminate state. 
    The proper way is to unmount it first.  Either drag it to the trash or right (control) click on the mounted drive on your desktop and select Eject.  If the drive is not showing on your desktop then set the Finder preference (General) to show it.
