Just got an email from Apple with the following date:

Your replacement is scheduled for dispatch by 25/02/2010

I tought it would take longer to send a replacement.
 
Delivered

Mines been delivered, as someone said didn't get any tracking info until yesterday due to the merge in transit with Applecare. Stuck at work so won't be able to open until tonight, week 5, fingers crossed.
 
Week 5 27" i7 here - definite yellow tinge :( - it is so bad my wife noticed it on a normal web page, let alone the one to test the tinge - this is my first Mac - waited a month to get it - going to call Apple to see what they can do.
 
I decided to go against my own wishes about publishing pics of my iMac but since I know people are concerned about the issues I thought I would share mine. Just received my new i7 iMac. I absolutely love it. It's week 5. No dead or stuck pixels, whisper silent 1TB hard drive and from the looks of my pics, no yellowing. Feel free to offer feedback.


Maybe I should take some pictures too, mine looks obvious when i test it with the two gray bars.
 
Does that buzz comes from to top left corner of the iMac?

Heh Yakuza

Today, I heard a buzz sound coming from the top left corner of the iMac. it happend after using it for a while.


I also found a black dust behind the glass at the right corner
 
Nice email this morning.

I was sleeping this morning when an email alert woke me up. It was a shipping notification. Strange, as my order was not expected to ship until the 16th.

It's a week 6 i7, and it'll be here Tuesday of next week. I didn't pay for the expedited shipping. Stay tuned.. I have a feeling this one will be OK!! :D

Are you serious? holly sh***!

What's happening? everyone is having the "Cricket" sound?

Are they overloading something to escape from the yellow tinge, and now it's affecting that part of the iMac? :confused:
 
I'm going to return mine and will ask them if i can keep this one until new one arrives

if not i will get the refund
 
What time did you place your order and from where. Please also let me know what week is yours when they post your invoice. Thanks!!!!

Hey,

I placed my order around 8pm GMT, haven't heard anything further from Apple. Not as lucky as you with your quick order, but the UK has no expedited shipping options. Strangely the UK Apple store still says 3 weeks waiting time, as compared to the US 2 weeks, I'm wondering are they fulfilling these orders first or do US iMacs come from California and the rest of the world from China? I'll post more info when i get it, however it looks like this threat is getting overloaded with order and shipping times.It looks like you'll have your Mac before i have my invoice...

Yellow Tint Bar Test

A few posts ago I posted some pics of my week 5 iMac i7's screen. Since then I got a request to post pics using the yellow tinge bar test. I took them at different angles so the lighting in may house my show some variance in brightness. Check them out, let me know what you all think.

Apart from the buzz i have a small dust (size of 2 o 3 pixels) behind the glass too.

By the way, i think that the buzz is emited by a capacitor. I have the same buzz when my BenQ projector is in standy mode.
 
My iMac is a Week 6

I am trying to figure some things out:

I really think that week 06 iMacs are going to be perfect. Hopefully I am not wrong

Also I don't know if expedited shipping is really expedited by apple.

I ordered mine on Jan 27th. Joeeey if you ordered yours on the 25th then i should be getting my email soon by friday or saturday hopefully. Should be a late week 6

:D

it looks 100% ok to me, even just viewing through the pics

Are you going to let Apple or any service provider clean it for you?
