M1 iMac Display vertex heating to scorching 55°C — Seeking Advice on Escalation I'm reaching out to the community regarding a concerning issue with my 2021 M1 iMac. After approximately 28 months of standard usage, I've encountered significant screen deterioration accompanied by localized overheating. Video clearly highlighting this issue: https://youtu.be/kFnV7lLB8_E Issue Details: Screen Anomalies: The display exhibits horizontal flickering lines shortly after startup, which progressively lead to color distortions and glitching during extended use. Overheating: The top-left corner of the screen becomes excessively hot, reaching temperatures up to 55°C within 10 seconds of booting, while the rest of the device remains at a normal 33°C. Service Center Feedback: An authorized service center has verified the absence of accidental damage and suggested a display replacement costing INR 61,000. Apple Support Response: Despite providing detailed evidence, including thermal readings and photographs, my attempts to escalate the issue through Apple Support have not yielded a resolution. Preventive Measures: To help my cousin avoid similar issues with their iMac M4, I've advised the following: Avoid running the display at maximum brightness continuously to reduce thermal stress. Ensure the iMac is placed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Regularly monitor system temperatures using reliable third-party applications. Manage resource-intensive applications to prevent unnecessary CPU usage and heat generation. Keep the macOS and all applications up to date, and perform regular system maintenance. Limit extended sessions of high-performance tasks, especially in warm ambient conditions. Periodically clean the iMac's exterior vents to prevent dust accumulation. Be vigilant for early signs of issues, such as flickering lines or unusual heat spots on the screen. Request for Guidance: Given the circumstances and the lack of a nearby Genius Bar (the closest being 400 km away), I would appreciate any advice on the following: Escalation Pathways: What channels or contacts within Apple have proven effective for escalating hardware issues beyond standard support? Community Experiences: Have other users faced similar issues with their M1 iMacs, and if so, what solutions or workarounds have been successful? Preventive Measures: Are there any additional recommended practices to mitigate further damage while seeking a resolution? I am committed to resolving this issue and believe that collective insights from the community can be instrumental. Thank you in advance for your support and suggestions.

iMac 2021 Horizontal Line Problem I have a 2021 model iMac computer with M1 processor. A few days ago, horizontal lines suddenly started to appear on my screen and the image was distorted. It is still broken now. There was an extreme heat in the upper left corner of the screen and it was almost untouchable. As you can see from the photos, more than half of the screen is broken. I have seen in my research here that this problem has occurred in many users and according to the opinion, it is due to production. Persistent horizontal lines appear on iMa… - Apple Community I wish Apple to support this issue and provide free repair.
