NvK New $3K MacBook Pro M4 Pro Display Fail Part 2 (RAW)

Are you not in your warranty period?

@@BeeRoyLee I am, but I went into the Apple store and they days there will be up to a 5 day down time if I give it to them to repair. They said I can just buy a 2nd one and they will refund me my original purchase. That way I can keep using it with a separate screen and do a final time machine backup on my own schedule when the new one comes in.

@@NightVsKnightlooks like you got a dud. Wonder if you could just return and purchase another…

[@NightVsKnight]

​@@BeeRoyLeeThat is basically what I am doing, but they consider it a "custom build" (Nano-Texture Display, 48GB RAM, 1TB Storage, built after order and ships from China: not already sitting in a warehouse in the US), so it takes almost 2 weeks to get to me. So instead of "return and then purchase another", if I don't want any down time then I have to "purchase another and then return".
