I bought the 24" imac refurb...and sold it after a month it also had grain and lighting problems
You couldn't send it back? Because it was a refurb and didn't have a warranty or what? Doesn't Apple warranty refurbs? The person you sold it to didn't mind the grain, or you didn't tell them about it? After a month (30 days) couldn't you have returned it? Did you notice the grain right away and if so, why didn't you return it right away? You bought something from Apple and 30 days later, not being satisfied with it, you sold it to a 3rd party? Also, they have refurb 24" iMacs only 4 months after being released?
You're very short post leaves a lot of questions. Or with the smiley face on the end of the post mean you're somehow joking? Is it some in-joke that only regular people here who know you would get? I'm an old man and slow on the uptake, so please enlighten me about your short post.
I did go through your posting history to see if you had said anything about this before (not to stalk you, lol, but to find the source of your problems with the 24") and came across this when someone asked about the 24" iMac:
"Bought one and sold it withen a week, had un even lighting and was loud....went back to my trusty G4 imac"
So you sold it to a 3rd party after only a week or a month? If it was a week, certainly it was well within the return policy to Apple, correct? I checked and
All Apple Certified Refurbished products are covered by Apple's One-Year Limited Warranty. The limited warranty states thus:
warrants this Apple-branded hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser ("Warranty Period"). If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period, at its option, Apple will either (1) repair the hardware defect at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, or (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product.
So again, I'm curious as to the details of your situation as I'm sure it would help others make a decision on the iMac or not. From what I can gather, you bought a refurb 24" iMac within 4 months after they were first announced and released (just last September), used it either a week (7 days) or a month (30ish days) and instead of having any of the problems fixed by Apple through warranty or returning the product for refund, you instead sold it to a 3rd party who accepted the broken hardware as-is?
