HELP! Is this normal for a MacBook's backlight?

[icec0ld]

I was using my MB replacement last night and I noticed this....

My previous MB never did this as the only thing lit by the backlight was the Apple logo. Does anyone else's MB have this problem? Thanks.

I have the same problem with my replacement too. Mine is still less than a month old. Mine is much worse but I do not think it affects the computer.

Wow.. That is a surprisingly strong backlight.. Like an X-ray

Wear a lead vest

Mine does that too. I don't think it's an issue.

HELP? Problem?

Dude, smoke coming out of your computer is a problem, a crack in your screen is a problem, a CD stuck in your super drive is a problem...

A small glow from a light source through a thin piece of plastic is just an anal Chicken Little stressing over something not worth stressing over.

Relax, guy! He was just concerned if there was something wrong... I guess we could just call it an "issue" if "problem" is taboo

Worst case scenario; you have a backlight that goes higher than you need it to.

Turn it down?
