Q: 2011 27 inch iMac screen goes dark
Greetings,
For the last month I have noticed my screen going dark suddenly out of no where. During this time there is no heavy graphics usage just reading the news or updating some notes. I have tried to remedy the situation by performing the SMC and PRAM reset to avail. I am however, quite surprise that a computer that cost over $2500.00 would fail in this way. I have conducted research and found that the probable cause is the LED Backlight board, I also found that the replacement of this board is very costly and in my opinion unfair.
Am I correct in my analysis of the LED Backlight board, is there a recall for a free replacement. I am disappointed that this is happening on such a machine as 2011 iMac.
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), 10.10.5

Your welcome!
I'd make a appointment ASAP, cause you never know when an extended warranty program will expire.
