There’s at least one other person on this forum who had the same exact issue, with over 20 people saying they had a similiar problem. One other person posted a similar photo.
I was hoping there was more people out there who had this problem (kind of a crappy thing to hope for) and someone could tell me…. Yes you’re out of luck, or no it’s X problem.
I have talked to Apple over chat and they basically said take it in to an Apple store or authorized Apple service center… That’s a 10 hour flight away from me and I’m mid-semester teaching. I know, boo-hoo for me, and my 3k computer.
I know there’s no magic pill and I assume the screen is kaput, but as I said I was seeking information from others who’ve had the same issue and what happened when they went into Apple so I know what to expect.
Also when I do go to Apple I’ll only be Stateside for two weeks, is that enough time to fix this.
Lastly, if this is starting to pop up for others… this might be an issue to pay attention to/ recall?
