Shadow/Dust on imac 27" lcd??

It's hasn't been a year since i bought my 27" imac, now i have shadow/dust on my lcd (not behid glass, tech guy confirm). Luckly im still under 1 year waranty n have apple care for another 2 years, i bring it to ibox (indonesia apple premium reseller) said they gonna change my lcd with the new one in 10 days.
I look around for some answer why this happen in d first place, got shock when i found that this happen to all imac 27" users, said its because design flaw.. so it will happen again n again..
what will happen to my imac after all my warranty expired?? should i just except this flaw?? cause apple won't let me buy another apple care after i buy d first one. should i pay for new lcd after my warranty over? dat will call extortion since this will happen again n again.. or should i open my imac n clean d lcd my self (many video for it on youtube), what if something happen since im not expert?
for a price n class as imac 27" can apple fix this issue n prevent it so it can't happen again?? it's *** if i have to stuck with this issue after all my warranty expired.
im a big fan of apple product, i have almost all apple product, from ipod, ipad, iphone.. if apple can't fix this issue, it will be my last time buying apple product.. it's just not worthed to have this problem with d amount money i spent to buy imac 27"

Hello, it does happen all too frequently, but I don't think it happens to all, hopefully the replacement will be better.

  • Where to buy imac G5 LCD display 17in

    Hi,
    I need to replace my imac G5 display. It develops two approx 1.5in black blobs at the bottom left screen, after rainwater got into it and seep into it.
    I have dismantled the imac and got access to the LCD. Remove the rust spots on the frame and check that it is dry. Put everything back but I dont seem able to remove the blobs and some vertical lines.
    The problem is confined to the right half of the screen..and the blobs and vertical lines are stable (not growing).
    I think if I replace with a good LCD display, I should be able to get back my Imac into shape.
    Anyone has experience replacing the imac G5 LCD. (D-I-Y).

  • Brand new Canon 5d mark ii has dust inside of the LCD screen.. !!!

    Hello guys. I just received Canon 5d mark ii + 24-105mm lens kit in the mail couple of days ago. It's an amazing camera that will help to improve my work. I didn't want to use the camera until I received the screen protector and the UV filter to make sure that the camera is well protected.  (My previous SLR ended up having so many scratches on the LCD screen)
    So today I received the screen protector. I was cleaning the Lcd screen to install the protector and I realized that there is a dust inside of the LCD screen. I didn't even use the camera more than to see if it functions right. It's totally visible. 
    I was wondering if anyone had this problem with their brand new camera ?!?! 
    I know there is an option to exchange the camera since it's in the return/exchange period but I really don't have time for this. I have photo shoots coming up and I really can't be without my camera more than couple of days. Unfortunately they don't have the kit in any of Bestbuy location in Los Angeles area that I can go in and exchange.  They will ask me to return the camera kit to a Bestbuy location and wait for them to credit my Bestbuy card (which will take 3-4 days - and i don't have enough credit limit to buy another one right away and be patient for them to give me my money back ) and replace an order online again.
    Any advice appreciated...
    Thanks  

    First of all. Thank you for your reply. I actually realized couple of other things that made me suspicios that this camera was used before. Of course i might be wrong however - the package shipped from Bestbuy Return center + loose diopter adjuster knob before than even touching it + having dust inside the lcd screen + hair and dust inside the lens - made me really uncomfortable keeping this camera.
    Don't get me wrong, I love Best Buy. I've been shopping from Best Buy for years. I have been purchasing many things every year and I really do trust them.  That's the reason why i didn't mind to have Greek Squad 3 years extended waranty package with my purchase. However spending almost $3500 for a top of the line camera and not having it flawless from the first day made me a little disappointed. That's all.. 
    I will be going to Best Buy later today and return the camera. I am just hoping that they can refund the money to my card in couple of days so i can place an order for a new one. Even better if i can return the camera and they can place an order from the store for me.. 
    Thank you so much for your reply again... 

  • IMac to lcd tv image not clear.  How do I fix that?

    I have a mini dvi to s-video/component adapter to send signal to a 22" lcd tv in another room. the tv is capable of the same resolution (1680x1050) as the imac display. for some reason the image is not as sharp and clear on the tv as it is on the imac, regardless if I use the component out or s-video out. I've adjusted settings in the display as well. how do I get the image on the lcd tv to look as clear as it does on the computer? Will the mini dvi to dvi and dvi to hdmi adapters change everything? thanks

    Your TV maybe capable of the same resolution as your mac, however, the s-video/component is your bottle neck. Despite the fact that your TV matches your monitor resolution, s-video/component is only capable of producing a standard definition image (480i @ 640x480). Your TV is stretching the image to match its resolution which is why it's coming out so blurry.
    If your TV has any extra HDMI inputs (or one of the rare that have a standard DVI port), you might want to look into getting a mini-DVI to DVI adapter if your TV has a DVI port. If it does not have a DVI port, then you'll need to get a mini-DVI to DVI adapter as well as a DVI to HDMI adapter. Using these methods should match your resolution and everything will look like they should.
    Hope it helps =]

  • New iMac 24" LCD issue

    Hi all, hope somebody here can give me an accurate answer or how serious my problem is.. Basically the whole iMac runs beautifully however just a problem with the LCD screen - on the left side about a 1/4 my browser window with a white background is bright white - but when i drag the window towards the centre to the right side it is all dirty white (dull light brown) - is this a serious problem with the LCD screen? I've only had it under two days now..
    I'm not sure if this is a normal behaviour for an LCD

    CJ, you have a sharp eye. It took me two days before I noticed it, but there is a slight variation from the extreme, white left side and the rest of the screen. There was some mention about these screens being bad for calibration (that conclusion is incorrect, I use a Monaco X-Rite DTP94 and ColorEyes to get good color fidelity) ... but I am disturbed by this brightness variation.
    I considered returning my iMac, so I dropped by the Apple store today and checked out all of the 24" iMacs. I believe this occurs on all of them. I spent some time with an incredulous Apple Store employee, and after a while of staring and comparing he admitted that there was a slight variation. It might not actually be differing brightness, but a slightly different tone between the extreme left and right sides of the screen.
    Anyhow I think I'll just get an Eizo 24" monitor to run as an expanded desktop with the new iMac, but from my inspection this appears to be a phenomenon that affects all 24" monitors, and returning your iMac for a new one will probably end in the same result.
    You have hawk eyes to even notice it, it's a very subtle gradation, but nevertheless real.

  • Want to use iMac G5 LCD as PC monitor

    Hello, here is my problem:
    I have iMac G5 that I can't use it (logic board problems, can't finish OS installation) but LCD works just fine! Inverter works fine too.
    I want to use iMac LCD instead of my regular (still CRT) monitor.
    My question is: is it possible to cut off THIS side of LVDS cable (cable that connects logic board and LCD) and instead that little 30-pin connector put DVI connector so I can connect VGA/DVI output from my PC to that (new) DVI connector that goes into LCD? I hope you understand what I want to do!
    If someone has other idea how to use iMac G5 20inch LCD like PC monitor, please post it.

    I also would like to try and do the same thing.
    I have a g5 imac ALS... just had the motherboard recapped and power supply replaced. It works but freezes up intermittently and the fans are just insane...throttling up to max every 30 seconds for a couple minutes fo no reason (temp is ok), the last time I turned it on I realized that it has become pretty much unusable as a reliable family server. We keep the computer on our kitchen counter and the smaller G5 fits well and matches a whole lot better since it's white.
    I don't mind cutting or soldering...is it possible to tap into the main cable? It would make a sweet pairing with a new mac mini.

  • Convert iMac to LCD Monitor

    I wont be doing it for a few years yet, but I was just wondering if it was possible to convert the 1G Aluminum iMac to a standalone LCD monitor. Because it was a beautiful screen in it and would like to use it on my new computer once the iMac is useless. Is it possible?

    It's "possible," given sufficient electrical hacking skills. It would be a difficult and ugly process. In other words, there is no plug on the iMac that turns it into an regular display.
    would like to use it on my new computer once the iMac is useless
    By the time that iMac is "useless" as a computer, the lamps lighting the LCD will have dimmed somewhat, so the display may not look quite as great as it does now. When you do get a new computer that needs a display, it is likely that the iMac will still be more valuable than a reasonable LCD display. Sell the iMac and buy a new bright LCD. Or better yet, get the 8-core 10 GHz iMac with Mac OS 11.x that will be the new model by that time.

  • IMAC G5 LCD screen

    I am on my third LCD screen and I am presently waiting for another LCD screen which of course is back ordered. I have been told that this is NOT a common problem. I have approx 100 colored lines on my screen at this time. Has anyone had any success with a replaced LCD screen ? Or how many screens does one have to go through before Apple replaces the computer??????? From all the complaints it sounds like there is a big problem with the G5. I purchased mine in Dec 2005.....they came out with the new one a few months later.

  • Cleaning dust from imac

    I was cleaning my imac today and noticed a significant amount if dust accumulated at the air vents on the back. I vacuumed these out, but Im wondering if it is ever necessary to open the machine and clean out the dust. Is there a filter of some sort on the inside? should I use compressed air and just try to blow out the vents from the outside? Just wondering what a good practice is to keep the dust out of my machine?

    Hi there,
    Your machine has been well engineered to limit the amount of dust build up inside, however through time dust will build up, to be honest just blowing air in doesn't really work. Unless you really know what you are doing then i don't advise opening the unit up to clean it out.

  • Dust speckles under the LCD monitor screen

    Hi, 
    I have a Canon Rebel T3i and have had it for a year and a half.I love it. However, lately I've noticed several speckles of dust under the LCD monitor screen. it's not affecting my pictures but is kind of distracting when i'm looking at the pictures on the monitor. Anyone else familiar with this problem or know what I can do about this?
    Mary

    "... picture and is only on the display ..."
    Boy you have throughly confused this ol'boy.  What exactly is the dislay?  Are you talking in the view finder?  Are you talking the LCD screen on the back of the camera?
    It is easy to get dust in the view finder but, I think, impossibile to get dust under the LCD display.
    If you are talking the view finder, get a Rocket Blower.  The rest are junk.

  • Dust/hair behind/underneath lcd screen...

    i noticed awhile ago that there was a small (dog) hair on my screen, along with other dust, that i couldn't remove. Just the other day, i noticed the hair had moved, and still can't be removed. It seems as if the dust and hair is under the screen. Is there a way to get it out? I wasn't sure if there was a cover over the screen that could be removed for cleaning.
    i really appreciate any thoughts on this.
    thanks.

    This problem happens more with laptops, just google for "dust behind laptop screen". Normally, a laptop screen is sealed off at the sides by rubber, so dust cannot get in. Somehow (perhaps due to age?), the sealing wasn't 100% perfect on your Macbook. Sadly, there's not much you can do about it, unless you're willing to open up the laptop. It's a major procedure for which iFixit has a manual:
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-MacBook-Core-Duo-LCD-Panel/311/13# s1213
    But then again, that only might make things worse, or you might not be able to reach the spot in question.

  • Replacing Imac G5 LCD Screen

    Hi
    I cant afford a new Imac so:
    I am considering buying a G5 with a broken screen and one with a perfectly working one and fitting the working one in the broken one.
    Has anyone had any experience of doing this and can give me any help or point me to any sites?
    Thanks

    Hey Mark,
    I am considering buying a G5 with a broken screen and one with a perfectly working one and fitting the working one in the broken one.
    So what you're saying is that you'd buy a non working one with a working screen and swap the screens?
    That should work but here in the states even dead G5s are a bit pricey. So what you intend to do is swap the logic boards?
    Right off the top of my head you'll need special tools. At least a case release tool.
    BTW you're in the G4 (flat panel) discussion so people over there would be more help to you. If anyone's actually done this.

  • Imac G5 LCD

    Are 17" iMac G5 screens interchangeable? More specifically, can I put a non-isight 17"screen in an isight model?
    Thanks

    Hi Kaynray
    You will have to compare the two side by side, while the actual display itself maybe the same it looks like the frame and brackets are different.
    Orignal 17" G5 > http://www.welovemacs.com/6613598.html
    iSight 17" G5 > http://www.welovemacs.com/6613789pr.html
    You also might find that an Early 17" Core Duo's display is the same, but again has a different frame and brackets.
