Light leak on the screen...

I have a week 38 build...got this on 21 September...i noticed recently that i have very slight light leak on top right corner of the screen...very very faint you cant resly tell unless i point somone...i wonder if its a defect...does it even quilify for replacement?

most lcd with backlighting will have the light leak, but not all of them. If you had a monitor, turn off all the light in the dark and see if you have them. My HP 23 inch widescreen HD monitor also has a light leak on all sides when the screen is black and in the dark room but if I am watching a movie or something then I don't even notice the light leak.
Now If you have it set to full brightness you definitely may notice the light leak. While in a low brightness, you won't notice.
Now if you think it's bothering you then it's your decision to replace it or not.

I have light leaking from the right top corner of my iPhone 5.is it a problem or a major thing. Is there anyone, who hasn't got this problem?

I noticed light leaking from the top right corner of my new iPhone 5 from a small area. I noticed first, when I changed the brightness to higher and when I changed back the light was still there.

Personally I would take it to the Apple Store cause the iPhone is still under warranty. You should try your carrier first if your not near an Apple Store and then go from there based on what help or lack of help they provide.
Best of luck.

1. Press the F2 key couple of times.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.

When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

OK, I have a fix.
After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem. I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

Hope this helps.

Light leak just above screen in a strip?

Hi,
I've had my iPhone since 3 years ago, and basically, I've been "babying it", keeping it in a protective cover etc.
A few months ago, I noticed that my iPhone has a horizontal strip of light just above the screen. When the screen is active, the edges of the strip display light leakage.
I'll post pics as soon as I can when it's a bit dark, but, has anyone else seen this?

What are you looking for? Your iphone is out of warranty.
You can try restart, reset, restore.

The screen of my imac always goes to the maximum exposure. Then the light icon on the screen. After reducing the brightness goes my screen after a few minutes back to the maximum intensity with the brightness icon back on my TV screen.

Try resetting the SMC and if that doesn't work then reset the PRAM too.

Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

Find several lights points in the screen

I've bought a macbook air in 2009. I just use it several times.It keeps power off during the 2010,today I start up it, and find several lights points in the screen. What can I do??

"several lights points"
Are you referring to "dead"pixels?

I spilled coffee on my MacBook. I dried it for 24 hours. It turns on, the keyboard lights up but the screen is blank. Any help?

Light leak, dust under screen AND dented back.

Two weeks ago I purchased a second generation iPod touch. First thing I noticed after taking it out of the packaging was a rather neat dent on the backplate. I decided not to worry about it, as it would be in a case most of the time and hence it wouldn't be seen. Earlier today I started noticing a lot of dust underneath the glass, though on top of the LCD screen -- INSIDE the iPod. Taking it out of the case for the first time since I got it, I noticed light shining through between the glass and the chrome bezel on the right hand side of the iPod, no doubt this is where the dust got in.
It was bad enough a brand new product was already dented when it was shipped, but I'm really annoyed that it has other hardware flaws as well. I know I cannot prove that Apple dented it, even though I can say I **** well didn't, but the light leak seems like a major hardware flaw, no less when it's letting a huge amount of dust into my AUS$420 device. This has to be able to be fixed under warranty, right?

It was bought from the online Apple Store.
I'm just hoping that they'll do something about it; I know that there's some people that damage things themselves and try and return them, and it affects it for people that do have genuine claims like myself.
One thing that pains me is that I got it as a graduation present from my parents, the second is that this is the THIRD iPod that I've had problems with over 2007 and 2008 (half way through last year my 30GB iPod's hard drive failed, it was only seven months old, and earlier this year my 1st generation iPod touch had to be replaced because it kept freezing). I guess I've just had bad luck, because I've always taken absolute care of my iPods...they've always been in cases, never been dropped, never been in a position where they could be damaged.

IPad 3 light leak under the bezel? What have you done about it?

If you have an iPad 3. Tilt towards you, looking underneath the bezel (under the camera) has your iPad got any lights showing? It's not bleeding onto the screen, in fact it doesn't interfere at all under normal use of the iPad. I have read many forums and it does seem to be quite common,but i would like to know what have you done about it? Have you replaced within 14 days and got a brand new iPad and been satisfied ? Or have you had another with worse or different issues? Or have you ignored the issue and kept the iPad?
I walked into comet and the first iPad 3 I picked up had exactly the same issue. I asked the bloke, he said yes? It's no problem, it's common in led screens and with the iPads new retina screen your bound to get this problem on some but it's no problem as doesn't effect your everyday use. Not the point though is it, we pay 400-579 for this thing!
I also rang apple and they spoke with their technical team and they came back and said the lights under the bezel seems unusual. To try and restore the iPad and see if that solves it. Solves a hardware problem?? How did they get their jobs? Crazy. So now I am in the middle of returning the iPad for a replacement but I am debating whether to even bother as I have read a lot of replacements people have received have numerous other problems, like dead pixels, light leakage, scratches.
I would appreciate any feedback from those who have had this same issue and what did you do about it ?

Mine has some along the right side. It is very slight, and does not affect the screen,even with a black image displayed in a dark room. So I chose to ignore it. This iPad will be going back though, as the bottom half of the screen has a pink tint on it. My advice is to see if it affects a dark picture in a dark room. If it doesn't, I would keep it. But in the end, you have to make your own decision and be comfortable with it. :)

My macbook pro retina keyboard is not working, what can i do? (It's with the keyboard lights off, but the screen stills normal)

Try restarting your MBP. Use the mouse, go to Apple menu (top-left) and select Restart.

Nano crashes after I apply light pressure to the screen

This is an easily repeatable occurance, too. All I have to do is lightly touch the screen (closer to the top of the screen is where it seems to be most sensitive), and my nano immediately crashes. I've looked pretty far and wide on the net and cannot find anyone with this same problem. It's frustrating, since I can't put my ipod in my pocket when I go running anymore. It immediatly shuts off when I take my first step!
Have any of you heard of this problem?
Windows XP

I doubt there is anything anyone here can advise except get it serviced, or take it to an Apple store and have them check it out.
