Week 52 units

received my week 52.. Yellow discoloration on the left side of the screen. God damnit. How long does it take to fix these problems??...
 
My week 52 will probably be delivered today.

It will also most likely go back if it has the yellow screen again.
 
Just got mine...

time for another phone call to Apple. This time I think I'll be asking for my money back. Much as I like this computer, I need a display that doesn't blow chuncks. I'm afraid I may be going back to my hackintosh, or building a new one.

I just returned mine for a refund. The whole process is ridiculous. They told me at the Apple store that repair isn't even an option.

Wow,

I called Apple this morning and they wanted to replace it and I opted to have it repaired. Will be bringing it in next week.
 
Has any one received at week 52 with a good screen?

I have mine in the trunk of my car but I am at work so I cannot check it out until later.

Well, here's a wee update - the yellow has faded a bit. It's still there - FAINT but there; the display is usable, and the machine is otherwise perfect. It's NEARLY acceptable. Who told you that repair wasn't an option? Did you get their email, is it in writing? If there's no chance for a future repair I want my money back. I just want to make sure that if they start having ones with good screens again, I'll be able to get one.

Here's some pics from earlier when it was more pronounced. The new one is on the right. Vertical stripe this time, not horizontal across the bottom.'

Edit: here's the link. Sorry.

I would say that the one on the right is a keeper for now

Send the other one back. That is what mine looks like except mine is only yellow on the bottom vs the whole panel.

Yeah, I've already moved my RAM and data over to the new one. I'm going to hang onto it since the yellow has faded almost entirely away.
