Apologies for video quality,as it was uploaded directly from the camcorder through my spare laptop Something is happening with my Acer, and i only got it 3-4mo ago, along with 2yr EW I ran into this problem this morning and racked my brain as to how it happened.

( i make sure it’s on a flat surface; unknowingly remained on one time while still in my laptop bag, i thought i had turned it off) Condensation?

Imac Condensation Problem
October 6, 2011
This is a video blog about a manufacturing fault in the 24 inch aluminum Imac’s in which unwanted condensation can form under the glass screens of the display. I have logged a case with Apple and they have told me that their official standpoint is to leave the computer on for several hours and that the heat of the fans will drive the unwanted vapor away. Nevertheless, Imac users or potential buyers BEWARE!
