[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1876228, member: 46727"] We've already mentioned that iMacs from that manufacturing period could develop very small imperfections in the glass to display cement. Not all iMacs, but some. And the way the cooling mechanism works, cool air is drawn up thru the bottom vents beneath the display and warm air is exhausted out from the top vents. That drawing in of the air can act like a vacuum to suck dust and other debris like pet hair into the iMac. If there are very small separations between the glass and display, dust can get trapped between. It appears your iMac was affected. It is possible that the shipping of the iMac (if it was jostled around by the carrier) could cause the separations to get worse or increase. Anyway, not much you can do about it other than replacing the display. And that would likely be expensive. You could try selling the iMac as is on eBay. [/QUOTE]
