I just purchased a week 29 unit today and the screen is perfect. I got it from the AT&T store and I had to go to 3 of them to get a pre-week 30 phone. Nobody had the slightest idea what I was talking about but they were all very helpful.
8gb Week 38 iPhones don't have this problem! Get an iPhones with Week 38 or later!
I went to the Apple store and had my iPhone exchanged for the 8gb version. It took a long while before they let me walk out of the store with the new phone. Unfortunately I received a week 38 phone which uses the 7 LCD panels and it still shows the negative black along with light leak. So I guess I made off with more problems than I started off with. I think I have another two weeks to try again for one that's problem free.
My dilemma -
I don't have the money to get at&t service yet, so I used the iPhone Tool to bypass activation. It works just like an iPod touch now.
Now, If I were to restore it and bring it into the Apple store, how would I show the problem? Can I bring it in with bypassed activation, and they will still give me service? (does bypassing activation void the warranty?)
Also, there is one stuck pixel that doesn't really bother me too much, but it just adds on to the problem with the negative black...
I am assuming we would have no problem exchanging for a new one if we are under the 14 day and there should be no restocking fee as we are not returning it but an exchange.
but mine is certainly unlocked, using Summerboard..... Should I revert it to stock before exchanging?
Why would'nt you be able to send the screen back to the US?
