Yep, I've had this for about a year on a nearly 3-year old Pismo 400. The pink tints the whole screen for maybe 2 seconds when waking up, and there are pink regions coming from the bottom right and left after wake up and on start up (even if it's just a restart and the screen hasn't had any downtime). Those last no more than a minute. I haven't noticed this getting any worse, although it must be getting slowly worse -- after all, it wasn't there, and then it appeared over time. I haven't heard any reports anywhere of a LCD actually 'dying' after having pinkeye for a while, which I suppose it a good sign. Has anyone managed to replace their LCD or backlight out of warranty -- either through Apple, or manually? Dave -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
