Rumour is that the problem with the LCD display may not be a matter of supply as much as production.

Its been said that the actual data cable for the panel passes far too close to the heatsinks/heatpipes due to the unique hinge configuration, and as such these laptops are failing quality control tests.

Heres a nice picture of the guts btw.
