What Build Week Is Your MacBook and Did You Discover Any Faults?

[shakerbaby]

I am interested in gathering what faults may or may not be present in certain build weeks, so let me start :

Model, Build Week, Fault(Y/N), What.
-------------------------------------------------------------
MB, 31, Y, Faulty inverter.

Where might one find the "build week"?

If you remove your battery and look underneath your MB there are some numbers like AB631...

the 6 means the year and the digits to the right are the week.

I've got a week 41 and absolutely no problems with it. I've only had it for a week now but so far I'm very pleased which makes me a happy Windows to Mac converter.

 

[shakerbaby]

Bump. If everyone contributed I think it would be quite interesting.

 

[kalun]

I gave my younger sister a week 23 MB, so far no problems. It has really bad discoloration, but she refuses to send it in for repairs. Beyond that the computer works flawlessly.
