Apple Logo is dim !!! HELP

I just noticed that the Apple logo on the lid of unibody macbook pro 17 is relatively dimmer than others, even some of other macbook pro 17. Have you guys noticed that issue? Is that normal? In the dark room, I can easily see that Apple logo of mbp unibody 17 is dimmer than 15 and 13. And it's weird.

If anyone can tell me what is that problem?

MacBook Pro 17 Mid 2009

No, it won't work. Whenever I adjust the brightness of screen. Apple logo is still dim. I mean 15 and 17. Both adjusting to max brightness, and Apple logo of 17 is dimmer than 15. It's like yellowish.

The apple logo is illuminated by the display backlight. Adjusting the backlight brightness also adjusts the logo brightness.

If this is the case you should also have a issue with the lcd screen as the back light would be too dim.

The logo on the back of the 17" display is a bit farther from the backlights than it is on the smaller displays. Otherwise, I can think of no reason for it to be dimmer, unless the display itself is dimmer. There's nothing you can do to change the relative brightness of the screen as compared to the logo, and since the brightness of the logo absolutely doesn't matter at all, I wouldn't waste any energy worrying about it.

The logo pretty much serves no purpose other than to advertise. You will never even see it while actually using your MacBook. Lack of usefulness aside, it does seem odd that you should be experiencing a brightness issue. Is is uniformly? Just wondering if something within the panel may have slipped between the LED panel and the logo. There's not a whole lot that could do that... but sometimes a piece of tape used to secure wiring can come loose.
