Mac mini March: Apple Cover-up of Problems with mini’s VGA?
Apple is getting a little bit of flack on their forums for having locked another thread called
"Mac mini VGA output very dark..."
from new posts. Laurie posted about the VGA issue earlier this month, but now Apple has locked the discussion thread after posting a
troubleshooting update to the related KB article.
As one poster on the new thread notes, "A mini's VGA out was tested and found not to rise above 530 mA, below VESA
standards of VGA output voltage." Several other commenters on the forums don't think the KB article solves their problems and are starting to murmur about a possible cover-up. However, another poster notes that Apple most likely locked the thread simply because it was getting too long.
I, personally, doubt this is a cover-up. If they wanted to cover it up, they'd simply delete the comments that annoyed them (he says, having had several of his more abusive complaints about the warping of his 12-inch Powerbook deleted from Apple's forums in the past).
