17" MBP unibody
I am really beginning to think I may have a lemon 15" MBP. I bought this last March (2008) as their latest refreshed model before the new unibody's came out. Since then, I have had to:

- Replace battery (and it looks like I may need to do it again!)
- Replace keyboard backlighting
- Now need to replace burner drive/laser
- Still get that white-washed, burned-out LED lighting along the bottom of my screen after it has set idle for a while

Has anyone else run into similar issues? I brought this up w/ the tech guy and he said to have a full system scan or something like that performed when I bring it in to have my burner replaced. Thank God I got the extended AppleCare!

I'm considering buying an 'Early 2008' Model 2nd hand... thinking twice now!
