Small dots on my MacBook Air screen

Hi frends,


I recently purchased my Mac just a month ago, and I’ve noticed small dots on the display that are visible only when a flash is used on the screen. I’ve tried everything to remove them, but they won’t go away. I even took it to the service center, and they told me it’s a “cosmetic damage” and not to worry. However, they also said it’s not covered under warranty.


This is really disappointing, especially since I always keep my Mac in a cushioned bag and clean it every week. Please provide me with a proper solution, as I am genuinely upset about this issue.

If they "are only visible when a flash is used" then... don't use a flash on the screen. How often does one do this?


The proper solution is exactly what you've already done - approach Apple support for guidance and evaluation for repair under warranty. If you feel your first encounter is less than satisfactory, you can ask to speak to the next level supervisor to plead your case.

You said you took the computer to the service center, but didn't say which service center. Was it an Apple location? If it was not Apple proper, then you might give that a go.

You can make a Genius Bar appointment for hardware service using this link: Contact Apple Support - Apple Support
