All of a sudden my Thunderbolt display has a long stain mark that is jagged and runs along about 2/3 of the right side of the screen. It is very obvious and distracting. I have had this since new and this is a recent problem. It has not been moved or bumped or anything like that.
Has anyone else seen this, and if so, what can be done?
Thanks

One of two things (I have had both).
1. Got some condensation/dust inder the screen.. In this case get two suction cups and remove the glass screen as it is only held down by some magnets. Once removed clean.
2. You have a bad LCD screen and needs to be replaced. I had this once and for me it was covered under my Apple care warranty.

Thanks! I had no idea it was only held on by suction cups...
The time you had to have it replaced - any idea of what it would cost if you didn't have Apple Care? (I don't)
It was just under $400.00. Not cheap. However, I would do a Google search for that part. You may be able to get on your own. Not difficult to change if you look at iFixit Web site.
Please update this thread if you discover any more information.
I've had my display for exactly 30 months and about 4 weeks ago I began seeing exactly what you described.
Good luck finding a solution.
I had a similar issue on my 2008 iMac. They had to change the LCD screen but I was still under Apple Care extended warranty.
So I have the EXACT same thing!!! Yours is far worse than mine. I'll be sure to update the thread when I have mine looked into as well. $400 for a display I've used every day for 8-10 hours a day for 2-3 years really isn't that bad. As long as I get another 3 more.
Hi Steve,
Did you have your display looked at? Could you let us know what your issue was?
Thank you,
Geoffrey
