Hi!

Got my new MBA two days ago, and since then the screen has gone black three times. I've read in older threads that this might occur because of magnets og mission control, however, my desk is wooden, and I've checked my MC-settings, so that shouldn't be the problem.

It mostly occurs when I'm listening to music in iTunes or YouTube, and I guess also when I'm connected (or trying to connect to) my speakers through bluetooth.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips?
 
Take it back to apple. A new computer should not be exhibiting that sort of issue.
 
:eek:I was rejoicing thinking apple had started producing the black color variation of the MacBook
 
If it's new and therefore within warranty; I wouldn't even bother trying to troubleshoot... Go to Apple!
 
Back to Apple you go! Something wrong and you should not have to deal with it. Store will swap it for another one.
 
Yeah, take it back. It's a common issue and not caused by magnets. I'm actually shocked that Apple hasn't fixed it yet, even with new processors - I was assuming that it was a hardware problem related to the HD5000 graphics that they would have fixed in the update.
