Because of the all in one display this is a very expensive problem to fix. A petition online has been started to get apple to address this issue, but so far if it is out of warranty you are on your own. Many like me did not buy the extended warranty because our experience has been so good until now.
I never thought the day would come when I would advise someone not to buy a Mac but I recommend that you google this so you are aware of the models involved.

I am a full blooded Mac lover, but for the same reason I have not puchased and all-in-one from them or any manufacture. Laptops? no choice, love both of mine and plan to get the Mac mini for Christmas. I bought the Samsung 24" monitor for my homebuilt PC and will use the mini on it also.
A co-worker bought that new HP all in one gimmick, same deal if you have a problem with one part your out of a complete computer. Luckly he was able to return his and loose the 15% restocking fee.
