IMac 24" Replacement screen has deep scratches

i recently had a problem with my 24" iMac 8,1 that the screen had major burn-in and blotches and horizontal lines everywhere. i took it to the apple store and they replaced that along with my hard drive. i received my iMac back and everything was great "so i thought" today the sun was shining on the iMac and the screen was turned off and i could see a whole bunch of marks and scratches in the replacement lcd itself and very deep ones to the right of the screen. this is not right it seems like they dont take any effort or care in replacing the screens of computers.

its probably just a factory mistsake. not to get off topic but Nintendo has things like that too and sometimes worse. just tell them that when u had it replaced last time, u got it back with scrathes and nick theyll probably replace it. then inspect it again. if the same thing happens or they decline demand a new unit

  • My iMac 27inch 5k screen has a huge line of dead pixels. I bought it today itself!!!

    I Just bought my iMac 27inch 5k and after Unboxing it, came to realize that the screen has flickering and dead pixels all over the left side.
    is this a hardware or sodrware issue and can I repalce it with a new one since my warrantee is a day old?!

    If you bought it directly from Apple,  you have a 14 day return or exchange window. Take advantage of it.

  • My glossy screen has factory scratches on it?

    alright so, i got my brand new black macbook a couple weeks ago and i was thrilled...untill i opened the box, there are two parallel scratches in the screen, at first i didnt really care, but now it has started to really annoy me, can i send it back in?

    Why did you wait a few weeks? A scratched display on a fresh out of the box Mac is unacceptable. You should have been on the phone as soon as you unpacked it.
    Now it may not be possible to get it replaced as they may think the damage was caused by you. Never wait a few weeks!

  • Does this mean my screen has been scratched?

    I've had a screen protector on my ipad 2 since the moment I opened it.  I've been using the Flick joystick to play Gangstar for awhile, and it's never had any side effects, like scratching.
    Today, I was playing Aralon also using the Flick joystick, and after I was done, I noticed a few lines/scuff marks where the Flick was.  Now I can see some discoloration in those spots.  I don't really know how to describe it, it looks all rainbow-ish, similar to the way my TV screen looked when it got scratched.  It's especially noticeable when I have a white background on.
    Does this mean I've scratched the screen?  I can't understand how it would have scratched considering I have a screen protector on and the Flick never scratched the screen before.
    I've tried rubbing the spots with a microfiber cloth, but it's not helping.  I also tried some LCD screen cleaner and that didn't help either.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If there was oil/grease on the screen, shouldn't a microfiber cloth get it out?  If not, how do I get it off?
    I also tried some LCD screen cleaner, but that didn't help either.

  • Have a problem on my IMac that a screen has come up titled text edit  and can not get rid of it using OSX I believe  10.7.5

    Can not exit text edit screen when i click on the apple does not give me the option of shuting down or restart just can't get rid of it. have no clue what brought this screen up never seen it before.

    If it is the application, Text Edit is a basic word processing app which is in your Applications folder. In order to force quit, you need to hold down three keys at the same time (there is no drop down/force quit):
    Command + Option + esc (at the top left of your keyboard). That will bring up this window:
    If an application is not responding, it may show "not responding" next to its name (or sometimes not). In any case, hit the Force Quit button and it should quit. If that does not work, shut down your Mac and boot it up again.

  • IMac 17' screen - has lines and is freezing help!

    I have a IMac 17' - My screen has lines across it and sometimes a triangle- If for some reason I'm able to get it to work past the users choice screen, it freezes within mins. Does anyone know how to fix or what the issue might be?

    It's probably a bad video card or bad caps (the little soda cans) which are either swollen or leaking.  If your machine isn't an iSight, take the back off and inspect the caps.

  • Replacement screen for imac 27" late 2012

    My new late 2012 27" imac has a scratch.  Is it possible to replace the glass?

    My cat pushed my late 2012 27 iMac off the desk and it fell on the floor. When I pulled it back up I gasped with horror. Although the LCD survived, the screen cover is cracked and the metal in the back bent a littlebit.
    I have Apple care but obviously it woudn't cover the costs.
    I took it to Apple and here is a quote for the repair: (I'm in the UK)

  • Screen has lines running through it, is it worth replacing screen?

    Screen has lines funning through it, is it worth replacing screen on 2009 iMac?

    What do you mean by lines running through it?  There have been users with vertical lines, sometimes blue, or yellow, or pink, or combinations.  Those have all turned out to be a bad graphics unit chip that the Apple store techs were able to remove and replace without replacing the entire logic board.
    Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test and advise on how to resolve this.

    You can't without replacing the screen, which is expensive. How did it get the deep scratch? You probably should have put a screen protector on it.

  • Replacement screen for iMac pre-calibrated?

    I just received a new late 2013 iMac. There is a scratch on the screen and the reseller is saying they will replace the screen (a new machine will take ages they tell me).
    If I get the screen replaced, will the replacement screen come pre-calibrated? I have read that Apple calibrate them at the factory - is this done for the screen component itself or done when the whole computer is assembled?
    I don't want to replace the screen if it's not going to be as well calibrated.
    Thanks!

  • Deep Scratches in iPad screen

    I have had my iPad since December and have always been careful with it, cleaned it regularly etc.
    But just recently 3 deep scratches have appeared on my screen and they distort the image below them. I have been looking for a protector screen for it but apple doesn't sell them and no computer type stores near me do either.
    Has anyone had the same problem and if so, did you go to the genius bar? And what did they make of it?

    The Genius Bar will do nothing, scratches are user damage and are not covered by warranty.
    If they were not there when you got the device then you are responsible for the damage.
    Amazon sell iPad screen protectors, just use Google.

  • Portege Z830 - screen has been broken and I need to replace it

    Hi
    I have Toshiba Portege z830. My screen has been broken and I need to replace it.
    Is it possible to install some IPS screen instead of original LTN133AT25-601? Which IPS screen is compatible with LTN133AT25-601?

    Hi
    The original LCD which was used in Z830 was an 13.3"(HD) 1366 x 768 TFT Color LCD.
    So if you want to use other display, then you should pay attention to the screen size and the connectors.
    I think these are most important key elements.

  • 24" Imac intel outer screen scratched

    Just wanted to know if the outer screen of the LCD can be replaced? I accidently scratched it with a metal ruler and now I have a 4" scratch (grove) on the screen.
    Thanks

    There is nothing available to polish the screen, not even a solution from the aviation industry as the screen plastic is actually too soft and flexible for abrasives. If the screen were glass, a solution is easy to find. All I can offer is to clean the computer screen and apply a tiny amount of Vaseline to fill in the scratch. Wipe off the excess, leaving the scratch filled with the Vaseline.
    If this is not acceptable, clean the screen again and you are back to square one. I have used this method in dealing with a scratched plasma screen, it worked fine.
