Difficult task?

Got a faulty rubber ex factory, had no time to exchange computer and thought I get used to the white spots on it.

Well I don't and Apple says no problem, they replace that rubber.

Am scared though the technician destroys more than rather solves the cosmetic issue.

Do they have to take the whole screen apart?!

Or is it a simple surgery.
 
Apple technicians, the ones who repair peoples Macs, handle them with utmost care. They won't cause any further cosmetic problems. The way it looks is one of the most important parts of Apple's vision. They'll do whatever it takes to make it be how it's supposed to be. Don't worry.

I wouldn't be sure with Jobs no longer CEO of Apple.

Indeed.. I already returned my new MBA realising that it was made under caretaker when on the particular day when it was produced - Steve was away..

I know, I finally got my first mac, and steve jobs steps down right after my return window (monday) expired. Now I have 5 useless apple products (air, 2 iPhone 4's, iPad 2, apple tv) to go along with my worthless pre plus that hp pulled the plug on last week! Sigh.:(
 
Seriously guys, changing that rubber is minor surgery?!

Unfortunately am not in the U.S. with dedicated, elaborate Apple staff, not to mention a Genius Bar.
 
Well they gonna change the whole display module - anyone seen a fix-it video how many steps that involves?
 
GODDAMNED!!!

I knew it! Since Apple sells tons of computers their QC sucks big style!!

So they replaced the display module - just to replace it with another faulty one!

Am so pissed.

Come on, wake up Apple, where's your legendary quality!!

What again did I pay the Apple tax for?

Too pissed to even call them to complain.

Yeah, i've noticed that too, the designs seem to be great but the quality from the manufacturer isn't as consistant as it should be. I guess thats the price we pay to have these things manufactured over seas because of cheap labor.

There have been plenty of crappy things manufactured in the US with expensive labor - look up "American Automobiles of the 1970s and 1980s" on Wikipedia....
