The PB 5300cs I bought a couple months ago has had, since I got it, a "blotchy" screen appearance (sorry, I can't think of a better word for it). If I use a lot of contrast and a bright mono-colored background (I made a few in Apple Works), it's sort-of ok, but a medium or dark color shows the "blotches" (especially a gray background screen and the light or medium mono-colored Apple Desktop Backgrounds from MacOS 8.1).
The outside of the outer transparent cover of the display itself is clean. Is this blotchy appearance: - the screen going bad? - bad backlighting? - the LCD display itself (not the cover) in need of cleaning? Can it be cleaned? I have a 6 month warranty on the unit, so I am thinking about sending it back to have the display checked. It has already been in for Apple's REP program (date stamp in the battery compartment and an AA serial number), and was listed by the seller as a factory refurbished machine. It was drop shipped form Pre-Owned Electronics, who I know generally does good work on Mac systems. Any insights appreciated. Thanks.
