Burn-in on MacBook Air Display from Apple Logo?

This is not the Apple logo shining through from the back. My problem looks exactly like the photo in the first message on this thread, and covering the back does not make it go away even a little bit.

Indeed it is best visible when there's a lot of white on screen, like a blank web browser window.

i have exact the same problem, bought the macbook from my customer, they have one of the biggest refurbishing company for notebooks, the problem was present on a bunch of MacBook Air's all the same problem...

Also all Machines had marks from the keyboard in the display coating, "staingate like" that means the coating was damaged on all Macbook Air's. Not so extreme like known from the MacBook Pro Retina Model's I personally also own a MacBook Pro Retina 2014 and had staingate already, display was replaced and apple store guy told me the coating is now improved and it should never happen again, but now I have the problem again, care is until 11.12.2017, so dam going to replace again.

Any bright light shining on the back of the MBA will be visible on the screen. The Apple logo is illuminated by the backlight for the screen. It will not hurt your screen.

Put opaque tape over the logo to stop the light transmission if it bothers you.

I had this exact same problem on a 15" MacBook Pro with antiglare screen. The computer had to go back in for a warranty repair (which would have cost £300). The engineer said that it could be caused by pressure on the laptopm while in a bag, but he wasn;t any more forthcoming about my particular example.

Just to be clear, this is not the same as light shining in the back of the computer through the Apple logo, which also creates a 'white shadow' effect. You'll see this in a pitch balck room too.

I'd get in touch with Apple to get a repair scheduled 😟

I have the same exact problem, and it is not about external light from the environment. It is more like the display is burnt where the logo is. Anyone got answers or support from Apple? Clearly, this is not my mistake at some point, as it depends from the way the product is built. I am thinking of going to an Apple Center, but I am in Thailand, Apple is here only through third parties, and I assume partners are not so inclined to take responsibilities for Apple mistakes.

I have the identical problem as primapagina. The outline of the apple logo is burned into the display.

I took it to the apple store and as I have had it for 16-18 months it is out of warranty and they said it cost just under $500 to replace the display. Seems a little harsh since it is something wrong with he Macbook rather than something i did.
