A slight gap between display and the aluminium housing

I just bought an iMac 2 months ago. Recently, while dusting off the display, I noticed a slight opening (about 2mm) between the display and the housing on the top side of my iMac. I worry that dust might accumulate inside the display over time.
Has anyone seen something similar on their iMac? Could this be a defect?
Regards.

Yeah, it's a defect alright. Just over the weekend, a yellow vertical line appeared towards the middle of my screen. I think this might be permanent, and somehow related to the slight opening on my iMac.
Called Apple Support. Was hoping they would exchange the entire machine for me, but no such luck

  • IPhone 5 - gap between display and metal frame

    Hello, I have an iPhone 5 black and I found out that on top between metal frame and display is a gap where I can fit a paper. Is it okay? What should I do?

    Have the same issue & plan to send to Apple to replace/repair. Was wondering if you know by chance how long this fix will take?
    (Tried to reopen my support case to ask Apple directly but it keeps failing to open)
    Thanks.

    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. The phone has a 1 year warranty. If it's no longer under warranty, a replacement is $269.

  • Gap between display rubber seal and case

    A few days ago I got my MBP 13" shipped. (mid 2010 version)
    Soon after unpacking I spotted a little gap between the black rubber line and the aluminum frame on top of the screen. The gap is approx. 0,3mm wide in the middle and covers 2/3 of the top of the screen's top. The other borders and the corners are fine; not even the slightest gap between rubber and frame.
    Here's a picture of it: (You can see dust that already got into the gap on the right side)

    Is this something to worry about? Does it affect the hold of the display or would dust be able to get behind the glass?
    If not, I'm perfectly fine with it. I really love my MacBook just how it is. I'm only concerned about possible risks. The MacBook has to endure some years now after all

    I visited an ASP today. They said it's nothing to worry about

  • Why there are fog between the display and the glass?

    Something weird happened to my iMac. I think there is a gap between the display and the glass at the front, right? Today I found some "fog" on the inner part of the glass. I think there are some water vapor in the gap and it condense to form some fog on the glass. I once tried to used a Hairdryer and blew some worm air on to the glass at the front. It works, the fog disappeared. However, after a while, the fog appears again! What can I do????

    According to one Mac genius I spoke with, the cleaning kit is used by repair techs at the Apple Store. Not sure if they sell it since the inside of the glass display is not user-serviceable. The kit I was told has, among other items, a plastic film that peels off the last bit of debris from inside the glass. Check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frfzESC-ahM

  • What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

    what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

    The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
    If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
    Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

    Hi chuck72352,
    after you have sorted your data, you can use the InRange Function. Combined with a "search 1D Array" you'll get the range you really want.

  • Looking to group emails 'from' then by when received, with gap between each of the 'from' with a number count , like in Outlook

    In Outlook, I have emails grouped by 'From' and then by when received.. with a gap between each of the 'From'
    So one might look like From: Bloomberg.com (59 items, 4 unread) Subject XXX Received YYYY

    You can automatically put them into individual folders, and each can have its own counts.

  • I have a new MBP with high-res display, and the color seems washed out compared to my old MBP.  Is this normal?

    Putting the two laptops side by side, blacks on my old machine look dark grey on the new one.  I also have 24" and 27" cinema displays, and the new high res laptop display looks washed out in comparison.
    I have tried to recalibrate the screen color settings, but this doesn't seem to make much difference.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    David.

    Yes, the gamma settings are the same on all 4 displays (my two laptops and the two displays).
    After a little experimentation, I think that it's down to the brightness of the high resolution display.  It would seem that it is slightly dimmer than the low-res one on my other 15" MBP, so I think that Apple have set the default colour profile to be slightly washed out to compensate.  If I use the same profile on the high-res MBP screen as on the low-res MBP screen, then the colour is much better.
    The cinema displays are a lot better than the laptop displays, but I was expecting the new high-res display to be as good as the old low-res one - especially as I paid a lot more money for it!
    Ah well!  I think I might take it into the store and just check that it is the norm for this...
    Thanks for your help.

  • PLMD_AUDIT - Toggle between Display and Change - Important!!

    Hello all,
    I've a problem when I work on PLMD_AUDIT.
    Pre-requisite for replicating the issue.
    1> Change the settings in PLMD_AUDIT (a face like icon) to Display mode
    When I run PLMD_AUDIT for an Audit with Action, it displays me the "Grouping" field and the "Involved Persons" tab values correctly.
    But when I toggle from Display to Change, the value in "Grouping" and the "Involved Persons" tab vanishes.
    Can you please check in your system and let me know if you also face this issue?
    Thank you in advance,
    Vaishnavi

    Hello Keerthi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Please follow the below mentioned steps.
    1) Change your time zone to a different time zone other than the created time zone of the action.
    say if action has been created in London time zone, change system zone to some other than London.
    2) Change the Settings in PLMD_AUDIT tcode (face like icon) to Display
    3) Open any audit WITH ACTION.
    4) When you double click on Action inside the audit, the action will be opened in Display mode.
    5) Now toggle between Display and Change.
    6) Kindly check if the values in the "Grouping field" and BUPA roles in "Involved Persons" tab are present now after toggling?
    Please let me know at the earliest.
    Your assistance is highly appreciated in this regard.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vaishnavi
