Fourth 27" imac broken.

[BrunoMac]

I'm absolutely certain there are cases of that in here. In fact, you will notice that there is a group of certain forum members who are always quick to tag their 2 cents onto any bad report and fan the flames of discontent even though some of them don't even own a new iMac nor have any plans of purchasing one.

Personally, like you, if I got even 3 bad iMacs in a row I would probably have long since left for greener pastures. Those of us who got good machines on the first delivery often get accused of being fanboys for posting about it but going through 4+ returns is pretty hardcore dedication to a product/company if you ask me.

Oh, and my week 47 i7 continues to be problem-free and the best Mac I've ever owned.

Really would yah? What exactly would be greener pastures if your looking to avoid the PC world? Please explain?? I get tired of people like you claiming that people who have issues with iMacs are being to anal or picky. It's simple, for two grand I want a display with no issues!!

I took the iMac into the store and was told that if i removed the glass panel from the screen it would void the warranty and that the new screens arent as easy to remove so they could not fix them buy resetting the screen and would need to be fully replaced.

Can someone confirm this is true? I'd like to install a SSD drive straight after purchase and upgrade the memory later.

Anything that you open up that doesn't have a direct access panel voids warranty. To upgrade the memory there is a panel everything else seems hidden. So I would say it would void it.

you could do the sjobs@mac.com route... i did it once with my pb the next day someone from apple contacted me and they said the parts should be in the next few days... 2 days later I get a call from my apple store my computer is ready

I can't make that decision for you, Bruno. Clearly, there's something compelling enough about Apple to make you go through all those machine replacements. If they can't meet your requirements you will have to decide for yourself where to move on to.

Well, I very much tire of people like you claiming that people have serious issues but are just oblivious to them so we're even.

Hey, me too! We agree!! Actually, I would want a display with no issues no matter how much I paid.

Yes considering most of the products i return are third party and hardly any have been apple products. I've returned at least 40 pairs of headphones that have broken and my Macbook once. My iPhone's 4 times. iPod touch 2 times. My first iMac i have never had one issue with it at all.

lol...prosecution rests!

Thanks for the response. That's quite a shame. My macbook pro with SSD would boot up quicker than iMac i7 :s

Looks like I'm going to have to put up withthe slower performance and delay the upgrade when warranty runs out or don't upgrade it at all.

Same with mine, it's perfect. Ordered mine on Xmas day and got it Jan. 8th. It's a week 53 27" iMac, no yellow, no noise and no flickering. You would need a stethoscope to here this thing run.

post like that give me hope.. They will figure out soon why and what is causing these problems and fix them.

Most of the monitor problems people have with the new iMac are due probably to a fragile screen which is subject to problems after falls or shaking.

I would blame Fed-Ex before Apple.

Only that can explain such inconsistencies in screen quality.
