Pls do check the sets before going home with it.

Dead pixels, light bleeding and etc smile.gif

It would be a real troublesome later on like what I'm having now smile.gif

I guess tons of iPad 2 has the back light bleeding problem, mine too. Until apple fixes it, there nothing much we can do, I read that people have actually exchanged for a new set a few times, only to find out that it too, has back light bleeding. So I guess, if you're gonna use the iPad 2 for movies, wait a lil longer, if you're using it for work or study, the backlight bleeding doesn't really affect anything, I only found out today that my iPad 2 has back light bleeding. So I guess depending on your purpose for the iPad 2, the backlight bleeding may or may not be a big a deal.

I called the CS earlier, once it's officially released whether in Singapore or malaysia, we are applicable to switch with a new sets or get a full refund.

For my case that is la.
I guess it applies to all of you as well.

Honestly I don't even notice it in the first place till I read this and that in other forums about it smile.gif

You all will be shocked. Paid RM 2,450 for iPad WiFi 16GB. Just on April 11. But from a trusted seller that worked hard to try and get it from Australia. I don't regret because I needed to give a presentation at Maxis last week, and this will mean my contract with a certain local Apple reseller should be fulfilled for this month. Plus I just couldn't wait anymore. My friend who flew to Australia on March 25 was trying to get a Black 32GB for 2 weeks. Plus I don't need to be concerned about the obvious chaos of the rumoured iPad 2 launch this weekend and what not. Bonus is I sold my iPad 1 32GB WiFi + 3G last week within 4 hours of posting it on LYN.

Well, that's my story. whistling.gif

I'm not sure I'm too concerned about the backlight, plus the hassle of waiting for the right stock to be available to be given a new set, etc.

Sounds very fanboyish but I am just thankful I have a working iPad 2 with no other issues at this stage.

My iPhone 4's home button though has lost sensitivity so time to RMA that which also could be a hassle but I think stock situation with iPhone 4 is not that bad. I'll have to try a Digi Centre and see what eventuates.
