hi all,

i was lucky enough yesterday to get a computer that i have always wanted - a macbook air 13"

but, the first thing i noticed was this odd bright spot on the screen, ive taken some photos on my phone -




Above the 'e' on google.

its there pretty much all the time, but at first i thought it was a star of the default apple background :S

any help would be great to help what the issue is, before it goes back to the shop. it should be perfect, if not better for the price!

thanks alot, Mike

Use the special cloth that comes with it (little black thing in the packet) and make sure the screen is really clean. laptop screens are polarised so if you have something on the screen it can refract the light making bits look brighter. I get it sometimes where I've left finger prints on mine.

Failing that take it back and ask apple. Their customer service is really good if you need repairs.

I've just noticed on mine that you can still see the stars from the default back ground when you have safari open.

ive changed my background so its definatly not one of the stars! I will look for the cloth, but cant remember seeing one. ill let you know how i get on :) thanks

Could be something behind pressing against the LCD screen causing a white spot. It's a common issue. I would get it looked at.

not got a cloth, have gave it a wipe over with a cloth that came with some screen protectors. still there

guess its a trip to the apple shop soon then whilst i could be welding the mini!
