Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5i: which 2-in-1 is best? The yellow is usually only visible on white, and certain greys in the gray scale, you can't see it at all on black. Here's a pic, it's very hard to see as its extremely difficult to snap a picture due to auto-focus, lighting, etc. I just hope hope hope that the device MS sends out is brand new as they said it would be. The Yellow get's worse when charging, but at the same time, maybe there's just pressure inside the device from the manufacturing process, you never know. I'm thinking the battery inside the unit may be swelling, and putting internal pressure on the LCD panel. I'm assuming this isn't the case for me as it's not there on start, but comes after the device warms up.Īlso, after reading iFixIt's post about the internals, I noticed the batteries edge inside the device is right about where the yellow marks are. I did some googling, and I read about people with iPads, and iPhones having a yellow tint due to the glue not curing on brand new devices. So I started a warranty case, hopefully will receive my new unit in a few days. Even though I purchased the device at the retail location and have a 15 day return window, I didn't want to bother as right now there's the shortage of 128 units, I don't want to have to wait for stores to stock up again, so I called Microsoft and found out that right now under warranty they are replacing faulty devices with brand new ones. After starting it again, the yellow burn slowly comes back, coming back even faster if I'm doing CPU intensive stuff on it, or if it's being charged.Īnyways. Noticed that if I shut the device down, and let it sit on a granite counter-top at room temp (brings the temp of the device down to room temp), after turning it back on around 20 minutes later it's gone on a fresh boot. It's most prominent in two places, a blotch 2 inches down from the top, and worse towards the bottom about an inch up (all along the right side). It's a line along the right edge of the display on the surface. Later on that day, I was using the Surface and noticed a yellow burn mark. Movie played fine, finished up, disconnected, etc.

The unit ran, plugged in, running Netflix for a total of 2 hours. Yesterday, I was playing a movie (using the DisplayPort) to my TV. (I've been using it quite a bit for work) Just curious if anyone else has noticed this.
