Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / September 2007Online poll to ask Apple to offer "accidental damage" and "defect-free LCD" warranty options
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really bothered by dead pixels on LCD screens and would be willing to pay a reasonable extra fee to be able to exchange an Apple computer in case I got one with a dead pixel. I'd also feel more secure if I could get insurance against accidental damage, like if I dropped the computer on a hard surface and it stopped working. Please check out a petition for this here: http://www.petitiononline.com/macadlcd/petition.html Maybe if enough people sign it, Apple will listen. Besides, if they offered these options, they'd probably turn a net profit from them. > I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really bothered by dead pixels > on LCD screens and would be willing to pay a reasonable extra fee to > be able to exchange an Apple computer in case I got one with a dead > pixel. I'd be stunned if any vendor would be willing to offer insurance against "a" dead pixel. It would necessarily be an expensive rider, which would automatically reduce the audience, and that would drive the relative administrative costs up which would further add to the customer price. G [responding to the opening posting in which the writer complained of dead pixels on LCD screens.] I'm now on my fourth Macintosh portable (Lombard, Titanium, PowerBook G4, MacBook Pro) and none of them had dead pixels. In contrast, my IBM 760 CD portable arrived with, if I recall correctly, nine dead pixels in a cluster in a cluster. IBM declined to replace the screen, their replacement requirement being something like a dozen dead pixels.  SignatureJames Leo Ryan ..... Austin, Texas ..... taliesinsoft@mac.com |
