What is the 15-inch PowerBook G4 Display Repair Extension Program?
A limited number of 15-inch PowerBook G4 computers exhibit a display issue which may cause faint white spots to appear on the screen over time. The 15-inch PowerBook G4 Repair Extension Program is a worldwide program covering replacement of LCDs that exhibit these white spots. Your PowerBook G4 serial number must fall between one of two serial number ranges:
[list=A][*]V7334xxxxxx to V7345xxxxxx[*]QT331xxxxxx to QT339xxxxxx[/list=A]

Am so happy to report that my Albook which had the white spots has a new LCD. Thanks to the Apple Display Repair Program. I brought my unit to Senco Link last Wednesday for them to check if indeed my Albook is qualified. I brought my unit back to Senco yesterday afternoon after I received a call from them to notify me that the replacement LCD has arrived from Singapore. I picked up my unit this morning. Bye bye white spots

This is the nice thing about Apple ... their warranty service is very good. Compare it with the other "branded" notebooks available locally and you never hear about any of these "recall" programs or when you report a problem, they try to get their way out of fixing your computer. The epitome of this level of service is when my iPod headphones started getting garbled sound on one side - "basag". Others would not even cover this type of problem, since the headphones can easily be used in another stereo equipment and played too loudly, causing the broken speaker diaphragm. But not Powermac - they trust their users!
Kudos to Apple.
