See the lines on the screen? Even the technician agreed it shouldn't have went out that fast. The logo/graphic you see is actually a reflection of the wall at the iMac store. I'll continue to use my current Apple products but in the future, I will seriously reconsider before purchasing another.Īttached is my iMac plugged into the display confirming my LCD is bad. It appears in an attempt of profits, market-share, and profit margin, Apple quality is going down as they increasingly source cheaper and poorer quality parts from various suppliers. I, for one, certainly would not purchase one again. The latter is far more damaging if even one person is swayed against purchasing a new iMac. Given the actual cost to Apple for this mass-producted part is likely well under 1/4th the retail cost, you would think it would be beneficial to Apple to at least assist a loyal customer with the costs of repairs relative to the negative attention and word-of-mouth. While I understand Apple has no legal requirement to replace my LCD screen, I am disappointed that Apple, even despite my request, would not even cover any portion of the repair. I explained to the technician and the store manager that my iMac was exactly 24 months old and while I understand it is not under the 1-year warranty any more, that Apple should good-will the replacement of my LCD screen given that the expectation of high-end product such as the iMac should not fail within two years of purchase. The technician verified that the LCD was indeed bad.
#Imac 27 late 2013 everymac update
I took my iMac into the Apple store at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, CA just now and I wanted to update this thread. Seems parts such as the video card or LCD are hard to find in the states. I also posted on Apple forums too to see what people say. This is very disappointing and my confidence in Apple computers has gone down. Any word of Apple good-willing these types of repairs? I have been a very loyal Apple user for a period of years now. I'm also considering taking it into Apple but I have a feeling they will tell me to kick rocks as my warranty is up. If I do, then I can rule out my video card. I purchased a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable and I plan to hook the iMac up to my Plasma and see if I get video. I've scoured the entire internet and nobody seems to have had this problem on this new of an iMac.

I've been a PC builder and user for years and I thought I'd absolutely have a rock solid high end professional bulletproof computer when buying my iMac. Very disappointing for something so new and so expensive. I've done several restarts, holding down command + option + P + R, and nothing works. Upon waking it up, the vertical and horizontal lines on the entire screen came back again.

I put the Mac to sleep for a few hours as I normally do when I'm done using it. The screen came back to life after a few seconds. Absolutely nothing on the screen was legible.
Yesterday my screen displayed vertical and horizontal lines. Usage is light-to-medium for photo editing and web browsing. It's fully loaded with i7, 4GB DDR GTX 780M, 16GB ram, etc.
Recently when I purchased a second hand ‘ Late 2013 27″ iMac‘ I had a lot of trouble finding information online relating to certain aspects of the Internal Hard Drive Replacement Process.I purchased a brand new Apple iMac (Late 2013) 27" iMac from Apple in August of 2013. There seemed to be a lot of grey areas that weren’t definitively covered which was frustrating. So I decided to take a punt and go with what I thought might work. Now I’m going to run you through what I learned. Alternates to the iFixIt ‘ iMac Opening Tool‘ and ‘ Plastic Cards‘.Do you need an ‘OWC In-Line Digital Thermal Sensor Cable’?.Alternates to the iFixIt ‘iMac Adhesive Strips’.The iMac Model that I will be referencing in this tutorial is the ‘ Late 2013 27′ iMac‘. It’s Model Identifier is ‘iMac 14,2’ and it might also be referenced as ‘A1419’ or ‘EMC 2639’. The team at EveryMac give a solid overview of the model here. While I will be discussing some alternates to the tools that iFixIt recommend, I still 100% support their work. I used the iFixIt Tutorial for this repair and I would have been stuck without it. The points I will be discussing here are more of a DIY approach to what is on offer at iFixIt. One of the first friction points that I stumbled across is in the very first step, removing the display. On the iFixIt Tutorial it states this warning right from the get go ‘The hub on the iMac Opening Tool will keep you from pushing the wheel in too far. If using a different tool, insert no more than 3/8″ into the display. You risk severing antenna cables and causing serious damage’.
