OK, cave, it's a race now. Seriously, I hope our fix is real surgery and not a band-aid. We will find out soon, and over a couple weeks as the spots (hopefully) don't re-appear!

Hey FM, keep checking your screen for spots --- not that I suspect you will get them, but I am interested in seeing what happens longer-term. I'm not shipping mine back until tomorrow (forgot to bring my power supply to work - d'oh!), which means I…

Quote: Originally posted by filmmaker2002 Here is a pic of the spots on my screen. I'm getting her replaced this week though. Those of you who are unaware of this problem, be sure to keep an eye on your 15" AlBook display. I didn't notice them un…
