I have a macbook pro with the problem referenced in the following:

Has anyone here gotten their screen replaced? How long were you apart from your computer?

Thanks.

I would plan for 5 business days, but in all likelyhood it wont be that bad. I have an affected display, but honestly dont care too much about getting it fixed. I did however experience the ghosting with my original rMBP display, which was absolutely worthy of replacement.

I recently had my mid-2014 15" MBP screen replaced. They told me to plan for 3-4 business days, but it was ready for pickup the next day (handed in at Apple Store on Saturday afternoon, picked up on Sunday afternoon).

OP:

I'd suggest you do a FULL BACKUP before you turn it in for repair.

I'd also suggest that it be a bootable backup, created with either CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper...
