Hi Everyone. I took my ThunderBolt Display back to the apple store after one month as there where Pixel anomalies on the screen. They said the only way to repair it would be to fit a new LCD Panel.

So i got my Display back this morning but when I go into System Report under ThunderBolt Display the serial number is different from the one displayed before i sent it into Apple.

Could this be because the serial number is built into the LCD panel?. I thought the serial Number is usually stored on some kind of PCB OR Logic Board inside the display?

Does anyone have any ideas why the serial Number might have changed. I hope its the same one i sent in as when it came back to me there where chip's/small chunks scraped into the Aluminium base stand as if they had used a workbench clamp and its been to tight :-(

The serial number under the base stand is the previous one so it look like it is my stand.

Thanks Guys for your help.
