Screen Issues - Scratch on LCD / Discolored Aluminum on left side

I purchased my MBP July 2008 ... I have handled this laptop with kid gloves. I've been seeing a few things that concern me as of lately. First, I have the matte screen which is developing a horizontal scratch (looks like from the sharp edge next to the space bar). As if that isn't annoying enough, on the left side of the screen, the aluminum between the LCD and the edge of the screen is starting to discolor in spots causing it to turn white. Originally, I thought that there was something on it, but this doesn't come off...It is as if the finish is damaged. What gives?
I spent a fortune on this computer and am shocked to start seeing things like this given how well it is cared for. I have Googled and common reasons for the scratch is applying pressure to the screen which doesn't fit my situation. The scratch on the screen is a little ridiculous as it seems to be getting worse with time.
Is this something Apple will do anything about?
Thanks in advance!

Okay...Now I need to give an update and ask again for help from the experts. At the same time I discovered my screen getting a horizonal scratch, my iSight camera quit working. I took it in to the Apple Store and they agreed to replace the screen as the hardware was faulty (broken camera) and sold me a piece of soft material to put between my screen and keyboard to prevent scratching after they replace the screen. I couldn't get it repaired the weekend I took it in due to their scheduling and the fact I live 100 miles away from the store. So they told me to bring it back to any Apple Store when it was convenient to do so and they would be glad to replace my screen as agreed upon. They noted the situation and I was set.
In December, I finally made time to have the computer screen replaced. Needless to say the tech who worked on it was either in a hurry or didn't care. Long story short, they gave me the last display assembly in stock which was warped and they didn't get the computer back together correctly because there is a gap on the rear of the display assembly on the left side where there shouldn't be one. Despite the mediocre repair, my iSight camera worked and they told me bring it to any Apple Store within 6 months and they would replace the screen again to make me "happy." This is after an employee at the Apple Store tried to convince me that my warped display was normal because of unavoidable manufacturing imperfections. My last display sat flat, so that excuse didn't fly. If I owned a Dell, that might be a different story, but I paid over $2000 for a machine and I expect better. Fast forward to tonight...I was going to get a iChat session rolling only to come to find that my iSight went out again (assuming another hardware failure). I know the screen is supposed to get replaced again down the road because of the poor repair job on the first go around, but how many hardware failures do I need before things work and continue to work?!? I cannot afford to drive 100 miles down to the Apple Store every 3 months because something else is broke. This is the second time the iSight went out for no apparent reason. What is the lemon law for computers?
I know I sound like a disgruntled Apple customer, but let me assure you that I'm venting. I love my MBP, but am disappointed with this situation and am seeking advice what to do about it.
I thought about trying to get my computer repaired at a local Apple Authorized Service Center where they order the part and fix it when the part comes in. I've seen their work for a keyboard replacement on a family members computer and it appears they do good work. Are there any downsides to having an Apple Authorized Service Center replace my screen for the second time?
Thanks in advance for any advice or insight you could shed on the current situation.

  • Display discoloration on the left side of my iMac monitor.

    I recently notice a dim discoloration on the left side of my iMac monitor. From top to bottom and about 1/8 of the screen. Kinda like a faint burn but has not a distinguishable image just seem to be wavy lines up and down and starts happening as soon as I bootup. Is this common and will my applecare cover a replacement?

    I'm not even sure why you posting on a help forum when you have AppleCare, the first thing I'd recommend you do is   pick up the phone and call AppleCare, describe the problem and they will advise how to proceed. It's that simple, follow the directions they provide and the issue should be handled.

  • One of first versions of macbook air with black horizontal lines on bottom one third of screen and vertical line also one third of left side of screen

    one of first versions of macbook air with black horizontal lines on bottom one third of screen and vertical line also one third of left side of screen

    Hi
    I've recently notice I have a thin black line in my screen.. I went to Apple store and was told it’s a hardware problem (400$+ to fix as no warranty).
    This is the second time I’m having hardware screen issues with a Macbook Air (last time it was 3 months after I bought it, and it was replaced with this one)
    Looks like the Macbook Air screens are very problematic!  Anyone experience something like that?
    Thanks,
    Eyal.

  • When i open my itunes my screen doesn't have the list on the left side

    my itunes screen looks different   when plugging in my iphone I cannot find the list on the left side that shows my music, apps, etc
    what changed and how do I get the screen to look like it used to
    I cannot sync my apps or music  cannot find anywhere to do this
    why did apple take that away or change the look without asking first?

    It's just that you are a tad bit behind the times here, shouser. When iTunes 11 came out your issue came up many times a day for many weeks. The question was asked and answered time and time again. I'm sure that Apple is very clear on the response to that decision. I'm not saying that I liked it any better than you, but the discussion is SO over....
    Take a look at "More Like This" just to the right of this discussion....
    And, seriously? You are going to never get an Apple product again because of a software decision that you don't agree with, and because you don't think the solution is intuitive enough, even though it is a simple thing to rectify (once you have paid a little attention and read a little to find out how to get the sidebar to display)?
    Well, if that one tiny little problem is enough to make you want to go to the dark side, then by all means, GO!
    I'm sure that your new Android and PC will hold your hand with everything you need without any effort on your part....

  • IPad Screen is black with colored pixels down the left side

    When I powered my iPad 2 on, a blue line appeared at the top of the black screen and then faded away. Now there is a column of colored squares down the left side of the black screen. Ipad does not power up properly.
    Upgraded to IOS 7.03 this weekend prio to this happening.
    TVBlair

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Our IPAD was dropped and now has a blue screen with little line pattern on the very left side (like a margin) - any chance for it's recovery?

    Any solutions for this? Won't turn off - letting the battery die at this point to see if a restart will help. Any ways to save at this point? Thanks in advance for any tips or help!

    Nevermind!!! We figured out how to fix it! Home button + OFF button for 30 seconds - restarted and we are down to 8 lives!!! YAY!

  • The forecastfox is on the bottom righthand side of the screen. Can I move it to the left side?

  • Rectangular shaped discoloration on left side of x230 tablet screen

    There's this weird rectangle of discoloration on the left side of my screen.  It usually has tiny lines that are multicolored.  The colors change upon pressing on the left side of the screen, specifically the bottom left corner of my screen.  The rectangle also seems to get affected the same way as i grab the tab like surface on the top right of the screen to rotate it into tablet mode.  After searching other posts, i believe my problem may be that that the "contact tape has been delaminated?" http://http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-Tablet-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-broken-screen-need-second-o...as this person in this post a similar problem.  I also wanted to point out that the rectangle usually goes away in time or if i push the rotate screen button (sometimes).  It also seems to not be there sometimes when i start up the computer as its not there when it shows "lenovo" during start up but then the rectangle appears.  If i take a screen shot of it, the rectangle doesn't come on the image as you will in the pictures below.  If i duplicate my display on an external display, the rectangle won't be there.  HOWEVER, there has sometimes been a rectangle of discoloration on a different part of the external display.  Interestingly, as you will see in the picture attached, the rectangle is only as long as the window i opened in that screen is.  but the rectangle won't show outside the window or rather the desktop of the external display.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Yellowish screen only on left side of iPad

    Has anyone else noticed that the screen is a bit more yellowish on the left side of the screen? It is most apparent when the screen is white. There has to be someone else out there with the same problem, right? So, my question is, how do I fix it? Should i even take it into an apple store? I fear I will be without an iPad for a long time if I do.

    UPDATE:
    I had the same problems with yellow cast on the right-hand side of the screen with the left being noticeably brighter and bluer. I spoke to Apple and they shipped me a replacement because I told them I found it distracting and would have to return it otherwise (I had initiated contact on the issue on day 14). I was sent a replacement and I'm pleased to say the new screen is much better, much more uniform brightness and tint. Holding the two units side by side for comparison it was easy to see the difference in the two screens. I almost didn't bother to return the first one because I noticed similar issues with the store demos, but now I'm glad I did because I can actually read PDFs without distraction. Good luck and kudos to Apple for taking care of their customers after the sale.
    As a side note, I was told by my local store there is some flexibility in the 14-day return rule for the iPad because it's a brand new product and Apple wants to support early adopters.

  • The left side of the iPhone 5S screen is bumping a little bit

    few days ago, i noticed that the left side of my iphone 5s screen seems to not be fixed well. if you take a look at it, you can notice a liitle bump (less than 1mm) in the edge of the edge of the screen. when i push the screen softly with my finger, it goes down and the bump diappears and when i release it, the bump appears. it semms like the edge of the screen is moving up and down in the left side. none of that is observed in the right side of the screen. what is the problem? how can be fixed?

    How long ago was the iPhone exposed to rain? How long did you attempt to dry it? How did you attempt to dry it? Did you power the device off before allowing it to dry?
    More than likely, given the behavior that you are describing, the device is damaged and will need to be replaced. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store for an out of warranty replacement.

  • How do I pin the bookmark sidebar to the left side of my screen?

    How do I pin the bookmark sidebar to the left side of my screen? My bookmark sidebar (vertical on the left side of the screen) is gone. When this would happen in the past I wold F10 and then select to view (or pin...can't remember the wording of the command) the sidebar. It was always visible with my bookmarks sorted. Now that sidebar is gone and I can't figure out how to add it back. HELP!

    *You can toggle the Bookmarks sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebars > Bookmarks" or Ctrl+B
    *You can toggle the History sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebars > History" or Ctrl+H
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

  • LCD Screen Issues

    So my old laptop died last year after four years of faithful service, in spite of being treated as no laptop should. Since I'd had it for so long, my family got me a (pre-used) new one. Since my old one had been treated like crap, I was determined to treat this new one as if it were my own child. As soon as I saw it, I was madly in love. It was an x100e laptop, compact, powerful, and with bristling new Windows 7 and--at least I think--Intel technology. Since I got a Portal sticker a week later, I decided to call her Gladus (being both an ardent fanboy and a very paranoid man). She had only one problem. Overheating. Usually it wasn't an issue, she'd turn off every few weeks after a long paper or running off to deal with college life, but overall it was fine. One time however after it cooled off I tried restarting it. Halfway through writing a post for help on the school computer, I tried restarting it, and it worked just fine. It did it again a couple months laterwhen I accidently left it on while playing a game I bought of Steam, but again once it had cooled off the screen resumed working. If it were really hot, I'd turn it off, flip it upside down, and turn on a fan to blow the air out the window just in case. I'm not really technologically brilliant, but I made due with logic.
    Last night I was up late, deleting game and file opening programs I no longer used (none were Windows or Lenovo programs) and writing. After a few hours I turned it off, though I think I closed the lid so the thing was still on, and chugging away. When I came back, the screen wouldn't work, so I forced a restart, during which time I was assailed by a Window's update that froze at 33%. Again, I had to force a restart. This time I was met by that familiar black screen. I tried airing it, and even cleaning it with what tools I had. Still nothing hours later.
    The screen does not start. At all, even though the light turns on, showing the laptop should be working. I remembered during previous incidents hearing an odd sound so I put my ear to just below the keyboard on the left side. The sound resembled a kind of buzz, starting and going off at 2/3rd second intervals. The sound's pauses and pained resumptions--though not the sound itself--put me in mind of a car trying to start. I assume its the fans. Another thing I noticed was when its plugged in, the battery light flashes about once every five seconds. I'm not sure if the device is under warranty (though I'm pretty sure its not), and--like I said--I run off caring for my electronics off logic rather than any in-depth understanding of the device. Fortunately I can job hunt and access Steam from my brother's computer but that laptop had some important files and writing on it I still need to hold onto. I've checked some online sources on similar problems, but no two cases seem identical. Is this something I can fix on my own, or do I need to send my laptop off for repairs? If not, what can I do to fix it? I'm in the middle of job-hunting, so its loss is crippling my online searches and a bit of a hassle.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the recommendation. My family's been advising me to send it back to get it checked. I thought I'd post one other observation that slipped my mind: turns out the sound is (almost positively) the fans, which are senting out short, sharp but weak puffs of air. Not sure if that helps at all, but all the same.

  • There are white squares on my screen at the top.  Apple care is telling me I'm out of warranty.  This seems like an Apple LCD screen issue.  The problem seems to be widespread.  How is apple dealing with this.  apple care told me it would cost me 260.00

    Apple should be fixing this problem for free.  It is a hardware issue.  Check the Web.  A lot of your customers are having the same problem.  If I have to spend money to fix this I will be choosing a different cell phone provider

    That the problem has happened to someone else, or even to a couple of dozen people, does not make it a "widespread problem". Apple has sold millions of iPhones, so even if hundreds have experienced the problem that's still a very small failure rate.
    Your iPhone is out of warranty, so you will need to pay for service. If Apple finds this to be a screen issue, in many Apple Stores they can replace the screen for US $149. If it's not a screen issue or your local Apple Store can not yet replace the screen, then Apple replaces the entire iPhone. Those are their policies, and complaining about it, particular here in these user-to-user forums, will accomplish nothing.
    You are free to pay some unauthorized shop to attempt repair, or attempt your own repair, if you wish, though you will void any further support from Apple, for any price, if you do.
    There is nothing more anyone here can tell you.
    Regards.

  • N8/C7 PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IF YOU H...

    MODS THIS IS NOT A POLL OR IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM A VOTING THREAD IT IS A THREAD TO WARN USERS ABOUT THE PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IT IN THEIR PHONES CLEAR AS DAY , I HAVE BEEN INFORMED FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMUNICATIONS AT NOKIA VIA TWITTER THAT THIS THREAD IS OK AND THE TEST IMAGE IS FINE TO LOAD UP
    The following has been added by vandelay (Nokia administrator) :
    Please note that there is normally a slight variation in the purple color level in each display
    unit. This is related to the display manufacturer's optical tuning process. However, some Nokia C7 and Nokia N8 users seem to be experiencing a
    slightly higher level of purple color tint on their device screens.
    Nokia Care's technical experts told me that the easiest way to spot this problem is to just look at the black idle screen of the device - if there is a clear purple color tint on the idle screen, you should have the device inspected at a Nokia Care point. They will repair the device the device under warranty if there is a clear defect in the device.
    So seeing some purple on the test image does not necessarily mean that your screen is faulty, but we hope that it helps some people to decide whether they should visit a Nokia Care point.
    (end of vandelay's addition)
    as you may or may not have read many n8s and c7s have a purple tint issue
    this can easily be spoted by saving the picture below to your pc , transfering it to your n8/c7 , then viewing the image in your gallery
    if the image shows purple squares in some areas then iam afraid you have one of the screens that is showing defects in gradiation of colurs and the greyscale
    there are also many n8s out in the wild that dont have this problem , i have 3 n8s , my gfriend has one , hers is perfect and shows the test image with no purple tint at all my three n8s all have purple tint and some display it worse then others
    the test image can be viewed on any brightness and it should display just as it does on your monitor screen ,my gfriends n8 displays the image perfect under all brightness levels yet my three n8s show the purple tint heavily on low brightness and not as much on full brightness
    the test image can also be viewed via tv out and hdmi out and again if you have a defect screen you will see the image perfect on your tv yet on your n8 screen you will have purple tints
    here is the test image for you to load to your device and view via the gallery
    as stated above if you have one of the screens with defects in colour gradiation you will see some of the squares as purple
    this shouldnt be happending as there n8s out there that display the test image perfectly
    from all my research on this in the last month and my time studying ICT systems support in which i have a diploma , it seems clear to me that nokia have used at least two screens in the build of the n8
    many phones bought between october launch and december dont have the problem yet there are still some that do but not as many as now , phones bought from the end of december up untill current date seem to have the issue moreand its now nearly impossible to find one without the purple tint issue
    this leads me to believe that from the start nokia were using at least two screen in the n8 , then one started to run out around december and by the end of december a huge majority of n8/c7 handsets have the troubles, if not all of them shipped after december
    infact ive been to every phone shop in lakeside , chelmsford , colchester which included : carphone warehouse , o2 , vodafone , orange , three ,  phones4u , tmobile all n8/c7 handsets i asked to look at had the problem not one n8 i looked at didnt have the issue 
    i have been in contact with nokia care escalation team , all they did is send me very badly refurbed handsets back for my brand new n8s ,  which across all three handsets had the following faults
    #hdmi covers scratched and worn
    #no imei number under the hdmi cover on one of them
    #torx screws on battery cover very worn
    #plastic top caps not fitted right
    #one had a huge gap between the silver screen surround and the main chasis of n8
    #they all still had purple tint issue
    so nokia sent me three refurbed handsets for my brand new n8s , i obvously complained as they were so new i could have taken them back to the shops with the reciept but now nokia had changed the imei numbers my reciept was useless , i said i should be sent three brand new n8s , they again sent me badly refurbed handsets just as bad as the 1st lot and again all three of them had purple screen issues 
    i complained again and this time supervsior took over the case and agreed that 3 new n8s should be sent to me as mine was so new , she got them sent out and this time they were new but they still have the purple screen issue
    thats a toatal 12 n8s direct from nokia and all of them have had the issue  so i cant recomend going to a nokia care point or nokia care uk as the refurbs i was sent was a complete joke and looked like they were just used handsets that had been through a rough time
    through this month of me talking to nokia and sending emails and getting these phones swapped back to a condition of the phones that i sent them , they have said they are investigating it and taking it seriously however after some of their actions towards users (myself included) on these forums it doesnt seem like they are taking it very serious at all , they have known about it for a month now and we still have not had an offical response from nokia themselves

    there are many more threads about this issue across the net and if you google n8 screen problems or n8 purple screen problems you will come acroos many many pages of unhappy users from all across the globe
    i just hope nokia sort this out soon
    ho do you users with the problem feel about this issue and how do you think nokia should resolve it
    id be happy for a screen swap at a nsc or via warranty postal repair as long as it could be done quickly and the user wasnt without their phone for too long after all this is nokias mistake and not the users that bought the phone so all fixes should be at minimal disturbance to them
    heres hoping when you test the image your not as unlucky as me and many other n8 owners from across the globe , its a brilliant phone but this screen issue lets it down alot especially during watching films and stuff

    sorry to hear you guys are having troubles too , its a shame sucha  great device as the nokia n8 has had an issue like this arise , it is effecting alot of n8/c7 handsets and is quite a widespread issue across the globe
    it would be great to hear from as many users as possible about this and what they think about it as a user of the c7/n8
    jimmyireland about your post mate
    yes it was written by me and yes it ws deleted not once but 3or4 times actually
    the mods said it was because i had set up a poll and voting system , so i read through forum rules and posted it again with what fitted their guidelines and even put in big caps that it was not a poll but a thread to help users identify a problem and discuss it which is what the forum is for , it was deleted again , i then posted it again with just the test image and how to spot the problem and again put big caps that the post fitted their guidelines and was just to help users , it was again deleted and i was banned by mods for 2 days saying that i had broke forum rules and posted a poll and that the test image wasnt a proper test image
    i then asked other users to post the image but when they tryed nokias spam filter kicked in with a message saying that their post contained spam and that they should write it again and try posting again
    to be honest it really looked like they were trying to cover up the issue , fair enough my 1st post could be considered a very very rough poll but the posts i made afterwards were edited to fit nokias guidelines and they still removed them ad banned me and then other users posts were marked as spam
    so i tweeted alot of people and even nokia have said that as long as the post doesnt contain polls/votes then it will be fine to postand that mods shouldnt delete it , which was excellent news and hopefull this thread will stay and users can load the image and test their screens and then discuss the issue here so nokia can see users discussion in one thread , it will alo help awareness of the issue
    hence this post that isnt a poll but a thread to help users identify wether their n8/c7 has a screen with a defect in the gradiation of colours
    as stated in original post not all n8s have this problem my gfriends doesnt and it displays the test image perfectly on all brightness settings , yet my n8s show the image as very purple on low brightness and the brighter the screen goes the less the purple is shown , it is still there just not as visible as it is in the lower brightness settings
    as i also mentioned many n8s between october and mid december are fine although some still have the problem , yet from mid december till current date the amount of n8s with purple issue is much much higher and it now seems very very rare that you will get a brand new n8 from the shops without this screen issue which leads me to believe that from launch nokia have used at least two screens in the builds of the n8 , some great screens and then the ones with dodgy purple tint , from the threads across the web it seems like the good screens nokia were using either run out or they have failed to source the same screen or the manufactuer of the screen has changed something
    iam not a nokia hater and iam not here to cause trouble or loose nokia sales etc
    i love nokia have used them for years and used symbian since the 6680 , iam always helping users across the web with their nokia problems and am an avid user on nokia users please check my profile and feel free to check my posts and how many times ive been thanked for being helpfull
    http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/members/buxz777.html
    as you can see i love nokia and spend alot of time using their devices , speaking highly of them and helping their users with problems, i also love good customer services and customer relations
    i understand that big companys have build issues iam a gadget lover and trained in ict supprt iam not silly and understand that these things happend and building these phones with such complicated electronics and some could end up with issues , it could happend to anyone , sony , apple , samsung , blackberry , lg etc etc
    however its how the companys react to these issues and relate to their customers that have spent 100s of pounds on their devices that is important , issues do arise , its how the company looks after its customers thats important
    i think alot of users think the same , they dont expect nokia to click their fingers and go heres a fix but they do expect nokia to investigate the issue and they do expect nokia to relate to its customers and not ignore them or the issue which is what it looks like when posts are deleted and users are banned for posting informative posts that help users identify a problem
    things like sending users really bad refurbs for brand new n8s also dont help users confidence in nokia statement of going to nokia care about the problem as all i got was second hand looking n8s that still have the problem they were sent off with and the originals were in much better condition
    like i say iam not here to cause trouble and i love nokia the n8 is the best phone ive ever had and its almost my dream device and everything ive wanted on a device for years its the ultimate convergance device and agadget lovers dream , however when you see your gfriends and some of your mates n8 screens display the test image perfect then your n8 display it with a very purple hue it does dissapoint you and you do hope that nokia will take notice and fix the issue with the least amunt of hassle to the users
    cheers jimmy and sorry about the long post just wanted to clear some things up
    now lets get back to discussing the issue and what other users think about it
    have a great evening

  • White screen issue on Compag

    My Compaq is currently displaying only a white screen. The laptop boots up fine and displays fine on an external monitor.
    I have taken it apart and reseated the connectors on both the screen and the motherboard with no effect. So I am sure it's not a loose connection.
    Before I go and splash out on a new replacement screen, is this an issue that is usually seen when the screen itself is at fault. Could it be the cable? or the connection on the motherboard itself. Is there a way to be certain?
    I don't want to buy a new screen and find it's not at fault.
    Many thanks!

    Hello, @Skyfox 
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you have a white screen issue with the notebook. I will try to assist you.
    With the steps you've taken and the fact it works correctly with an external, leaves only the display screen as the possible cause. That being said, there is no 100% way to know that it is not a cable causing the issue.
    Typical steps for this issue:
    Restart notebook
    Hard reset notebook
    Test with external monitor
    Reconnect LCD cables and check all other display cables
    Have notebook serviced.
    You're at the point of service. This really limits the options, and a display replacement may not correct the issue.
    I hope this adds any insight to the choice you need to make next.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    I worked on behalf of HP.
