The <em>first</em> firmware update came in December, and didn&#8217;t solve any of the problems. Apple claims that the displays aren&#8217;t suffering from a hardware issue, but rather one on the software side. Therefore, they aren&#8217;t suggesting you to return the displays, but instead wait for a more permanent fix than they&#8217;ve provided so far.</p><p>As a precautionary method for preventing further problems, Apple is halting production of the 27-inch models for some time, to ensure the fix works. The main problem was that the displays would intermittently flicker, which can be a real problem when you are trying to get work done.</p><p>On the <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2212682&amp;start=0&amp;tstart=0">Apple forums</a>, more than 4,000 replies were made, which makes the issue appear larger than it actually was. The issue didn&#8217;t affect all the 27-inch models, and there were plenty of working displays, but those who did experience the issue voiced their opinion.</p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193" title="Apple Issues Second 27-inch iMac Firmware Update" src="http://fusednews.com/images/2010/02/Apple-Issues-Second-27-inch-iMac-Firmware-Update.jpg" alt="Apple Issues Second 27-inch iMac Firmware Update" width="600" height="466" /></p><p>While Apple doesn&#8217;t claim to have a flawless track record in their products, in many cases, fixes are issued or replacements are given should the problem continue to exist. The ability for them to solve the problem is what continues to garner Apple high marks in customer satisfaction.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://fusednews.com/2010/02/02/apple-issues-firmware-update-for-27-inch-imacs/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
