    I got my 5th replacement yesterday! Instead of getting something perfect I got another problematic one. :mad:

    The only good side is new small 85Watt power adapter.

    I had samsung screen on all my 5 SR MBPs, and yellow tint problem as well. The last one has same problem along with another problem I cannot open the screen as usual before I could. You can see the problem in the attached photos (both are new SR MBPs)

    What should I do, I really got tired to speak apple care, or go to apple store!
    :confused:

    The yellow screen thing was mostly fixed with a firmware update.

    Swap it at a local Apple Store...all those faulty ones have been unofficially recalled.

    If you want a new macbook, you will have to talk to apple one way or another. Do you have a picture of the yellow tint problem? I am wondering what everyone is complaining about.

    If so, it should be perfect, because it is one of the last builds, week 29, even this one has latest small power adapter :confused:

    But still has the same problem along with the hinge problem.

    Do you think apple stores have gotten new MBPs with small adapters? :confused:
