21.5 inch iMac yellow screen issue

Like I think I said previously, your iMac has no user-serviceable parts outside of upgrading the memory.

The in-store inspection, product specialist or in-house expert, then technical testing to diagnose the exact cause of the issue, then if done in-house, a repair sequence initiated with an open estimate on what replacement parts would actually be needed, could alter the original best-guess somewhat.

A simple backlight or inverter issue may be all that is causing the symptom. Nobody can simply give you a base price of one size fits all. They will not just 'replace a display' since the panel is more than just one part. If a voltage variation is the cause of partial tint or backlight color, then that will be part of the inspection and diagnosis; this may be in a shop for weeks.

Please stick to one question on the same topic

You appear to have an issue with Apple, so there are

a few good links to their main web site. You can go

and Locate an authorized service nearby, contact an

Apple authorized representative, etc, there. We who

reply here have no direct connection, nor do we have

any authority, cannot cite prices or give quotes, etc.

And our time is our own, individually. We're not Apple.

You will have to contact Apple. You have a computer.

I will not do that for you, from my residence, half a

world away where I have no more access to a Store

than a moose, or a ptarmigan, outside my door.

Good luck.

Your topic thread and posts are being reported.

"Inappropriate." We cannot give you a reply.

even if we were authorized to give you an

exact dollars & cents quote on a new Display,

since the display is likely not the problem.

It would be terrible business practice, too.

And against Terms of Use in ASC. The

level of speculation you want, is incorrect.

Knock yourself out. this may void your warranty

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

The display is not the problem, really;

because you have the answer & refuse

to be inconvenienced by using it timely.

{A replacement display plus labor & testing

if you paid for all of it, could equal about

the same as a dental crown repair.}

When the AppleCare coverage went away,

I know of several iMac 21.5/24/27" owners

who balk at replacing LCDs, after 3 years.

Best of luck. St Pat's day is coming up! 🙂

When my screen on my "way out of warrenty" Powerbook G4 Ti died, I asked, "How much to repair it?"

The tech guy handed me a new Powerbook and said, "about the same as purchasing this."

Your question is like asking in a car forum on the internet, "My car runs poorly, how much will it cost me to fix it?"

Whatever people tell you is what it cost THEM to have it fixed, not what it will cost you to have it repaired.

If nothing else, this thread has enormous enterainment value/future potential.

"mrq0604 , You Say:

"I'm in no hurry to fix my screen as I have 2 years of Applecare coverage remaining. So I won't casually take my iMac to Applestore just to find out how much it would cost to fix it. "

To answer your question simply .... This is the purpose of why you bought AppleCare ..... to keep your Apple product under warranty in case of a hardware failure, which is what it sounds like you have (aka Yellowish screen ). Surely it doesn't cost anything to ask your AppeCare questions.

Unless you have damaged your Apple product yourself , your cost for repair will be $O .... The repair will be FREE as long as it is under AppleCare warranty.

Personally I have found that the AppleCare Center in my area (Fla. ) is more than eager to answer questions and do repairs to their products. Their service has been fast and dependable every time I have had the need for repairs..... no matter how small or large.

May I suggest that you find their services unsatisfactory at the Center you have been going to, then I'm sure there is other Centers in your area. Never-the-less, personally I would take my Apple product in for service ASAP....... you can't get it repaired for a cost less than FREE. If you Actually call one of the Centers in your area, they will freely explain your AppleCare coverage to you.
