NO, but you should let them know..
i had a trade in 770-1AU some time ago that had what appeared to be a very
fine dusting of white, that was visible only when in a dark room..
once noticed, however, it was very annoying.. and since i was selling this
machine, i had to convince easy serve of the existance of this, THEN the
repaired without a problem..
