Stupid G5 iMac Screens

August 30, 2007

I just wanted to blog about this because there are a ton of people having this problem and Apple is doing jack about it.

For examples, please see some photos on flickr (broken G5 iMac screens).

I purchased a G5 iMac (w/iSight, 1.9GHz, S/N W85422*, conveniently out of the range of those covered under the iMac G5 Repair Extension Program) on October 31, 2005. About one year and one week after the warranty expired it started to grow pretty vertical lines on the LCD. Today we’re up to 3 pink, 2 blue, 2 yellow and 1 grey line that stretch vertically top to bottom on the LCD panel. Each line is about 2 pixels wide, and each one is aggravating.

Oh, and by a ton of people, you can find about four million threads on the Apple Discussion Forums. This link alone contains a link to about 20 other topics with the same problem.

Apple: Do Something About It.
