So did you get the Eee PC 1008HA? If you did, you’re probably enjoying its thin form factor by now. But wait, you might be interested to know that words on the street say that some 1008HA are reportedly having problems with cracked screens.

In fact, even Asus has admitted this problem and is now addressing the issue which it aims to resolve for the second batch of Eee PC 1008HA shipping sometime in the third quarter of 2009. Asus also admitted that the defect was identified even before the Eee PC 1008HA were released to consumers.

And the cause? Accoding to Asus it was not a mis-manufacturing but because of the panel it ordered from a secondary supplier due to the shortage in panel supply.

Unfortunately, Asus did not issue any statement as to what it plans to do with the Eee PC 1008HA with cracking display that have already reached the consumers.
