White IPAD2 64 3G - White dot underneath Screen, Dead pixel

Hi,
I am residing in Stockholm,Sweden. i bought my ipad2 the day it was released here on march 25th.
3 days back, i noticed a dead pixel, which was visible while using safari. i have downloaded the pixfix app to confirm the dead pixel. the pixifix conducts few tests by changing the colors and the dead pixel was visible as black.
how ever, i switched off the ipad and to my astonishment, i can see a small white dust/mark underneath the glass with no visible scratches or anything. since i take care of my IPAD very well.
i had the same problem with my first generation ipad after few months which apple replaced it.
since then, i called apple in stockholm, and they directed me to go to Digitall Inn their premium reseller/support. this is the place I bought my ipad2. i went in there and the support guy(daniel) try arguing that it is not a dead pixel instead scratch. and he had no answer when i showed him the white dust/mark. he said one of their technicians will analyze and get back. this was happening last saturday.
its been two days since they never updated/called me, i called up digital inn and i was told that, they will take a photograph of the issues and send to apple. it will take 3 more days to get an udpate from apple. and he also offered me to take the ipad2 back or keep it in store. i told them i need a solution to this and till then they can keep it.
i am seriously surprised by the kind of support i am getting from digital inn. i have invested a lot in this device, and when it is defective, i dont understand the kind of support i am getting from this premium resller
Dear Apple support,
please help me to resolve this issue of ipad2.

Yesterday afternoon at 1.01 pm, got a call from the technician at digital inn, and he told me that apple had indeed sent a new ipad for me and i could go there to collect it.
well, i was thrilled by the sudden turnarround of events and i rushed from my place of work to get it.
so finally a brand new one, i beilive no refurbished stuff. bought a belkin verve folio from webhallen which is next to digitall inn in stockholm.
so glad that, go every thing fast rather than after 2-3 weeks.
hi thenextbutton.
in stockholm, sweden, they dont have any apple stores but we have to go through thier premium resellers who has stores similar to apple store. hence for any issues, we are left with no choice but work with these folks. digitall inn is one of thier premium reseller.

24" iMac Thin darker line on the screen - dead pixels ?

I have a 24" BTO iMac with 3,06 and GE Force 8800 GS, delivered last year in June.
Was very happy until today, when i remarked, at +/- 7 cms from the right edge, a thin line, extending from top to bottom, and seeming to expand a bit in a blurry way in the middle.
It shows much more in when on a dark background.
Could that be dead pixels ?
I guess I have to ship the machine back to an ARC ?
Or is there some test I could try first ?

A screenshot would not including any effect from a physical screen defect. For the computer, the pixels are there and working properly.
If it appears to be blurry, it may be something casting a shadow between the LCD and the backlighting. Dead pixels are distinct, so there should not be a blur between where the pixels are working and where they are not working.
In any case, since the Mac is still covered by the one-year warranty, you should probably have it looked at by an Apple authorized repair place

LCD screen/dead pixel checker app on app store?

Smartwatch 2 screen dead pixels

Hi... I have a smartwatch 2 that recently started to show some dark spots on the screen, yesterday some dead pixels on the screen appeared. my questions are... is this a hardware problem since i was using it normally without problems? is there a way to repair the smartwatch? and if that is the case, is there a service center in Mexico that can repair it? thanks a lot!

I doubt its a software issue, but you can repair it with SUS and if that doesn't work then do take it to a Sony repair center Update Service (SUS) PC Companion (PCC) Bridge (for Mac) Alternatives on How to backup Xperias http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36355

IPad 2 Dead Pixel, Can I claim warranty?

Hey, I`m Kee here. Currently I`m holding an AUS iPad 2 32GB WIFI White.
This iPad 2 is a gift from my friend. I`m staying in Malaysia, I would like to ask
how do I proceed the International Warranty Claim Service in my country(MY) since it`s an AUS`s unit.
Please guide me out. I`m facing an annoying dot which is dead-pixel on my iPad 2`s screen.
My country only have Authorized Reseller, no Retailer Store here. I`m sure, if I walk-in into an Authorized Reseller
they will not entertain me, and if go to worst, definitely will treat me as an idiot and deliver wrong information for me.
Please HELP me out! Appreiciate your reply and million thanks.

Hey,
Normally say with a laptop 1 dead pixel is not enough, a cluster of them is needed for replacement.
The iPad may be different.
Apple.com/my as you properly know is apples malasya website you can call the number there or go into an auterised reseller and ask, I think they'll be happy to help.

My iPad Third Gen has a dead pixel

Basically in the middle of my ipad screen i have a white dot on my screen. I rung apple they said it will be replaced over the phone or i could go to the store will the store actually replace my ipad 3 for this. Also do they still stock the old discontinued ipad 3 ?
Thanks
Ps under the border of my ipad there appears to be a white line not sure why??

Dead pixels are covered under warranty. No questions asked.
White line at the bottom sounds like light shield leakage. Should also be covered.
Good luck

IPad 3 white dot on start up screen not dead pixels?

Hi everyone,
I just bought my new iPad around a week ago and everytime I turn it on I'm getting like 1 or 2 white dots on the loading screen around the apple logo.
They can't be dead pixels cause they kind flicker and disappear anyone notice this and is it normal?
Thanks,

Anto2012-
I'm not sure what the little dots are, but I see that when I have Apps on more than one page of the Home screen, there are more dots near the bottom of the screen. It appears that the dot that is brighter indicates which page you are looking at. If you only have one page of Apps, then there is only one dot with something like a tiny magnifying glass on its left.
If you swipe to the right, you bring up the keyboard for the search function. When you swipe back to the left, you can see that the magnifying glass is bright, and then see it jump back to the right-hand dot.
At least that is what I observe on my iPad 2!

White dot (not dead pixel) on external LCD monitor.

Hi all,
I recently noticed a strange situation. I've owned a MacBook Pro 13" since October, and usually run it with an external Samsung T260 LCD monitor by MiniDP to DVI. I run the monitor at its full resolution of 1920x1200.
When I arrange the monitors so that the Samsung is on top of my MBP, there is a white dot about the size of a pixel approximately 3 inches from the left and 1/2 inch from the bottom of the screen. I thought it was a dead pixel, but when I move the external monitor to be on the left of the MBP, the white dot moves to 3 inches from the top and 1/2 inch from the right.
* The white dot does not appear when I arrange the monitors in any other configuration.
* The white dot appears when using MiniDP to VGA adapter as well.
* When I zoom using the modifer key+scroll method, the white dot grows bigger.
I've tried using the JScreenFix applet, but as I said, it doesn't look like a dead pixel.
Can anyone offer any other suggestions, that may involved poking around in the Video RAM space?
Thanks,
-Tony

Hi all,
Just returning to provide more information:
While playing around with my screen layouts, I found that the white dot is actually part of the menu bar graphic. I arranged my monitors and captured the screen to show the placement of the dot.

I hope Apple is able to fix this in the next SW update.

I just loaded the 8.1 operating system on my iPad. It has been sitting for about 4 hours with the black screen and white apple with the bar underneath. What should I do?

I am having trouble after loading the 8.1 operating system on my ipad.
My iPad is model A1397 EMC 2424
MEID ********
Serial DL******JHH
64GB
I started loading 8.1 about 5 hours ago and it is still sitting with the black screen with the progress bar underneath. It shows that it is almost done loading - just has a tiny bit of the progress bar left.
<Edited by Host>

I Don't know if this will work for anyone else but just FYI - after loading 8.1 on my iPad it froze for several hours on the black screen with white Apple and progress bar underneath. It would not do anything. I thought I was doomed. I accidentay left it sitting overnight without plugging it Back into the charger. I meant to but got sidetracked and thought it was plugged in. During the night the battery was totally drained so this morning my iPad was dead. I plugged it into the charger and after a few minutes the battery icon came up showing it was charging. I gave it about 30 minutes and then turned it on and the new operating system came up. It looks like it might be ok now. I can't say I recommend this, but it worked for me.

White dot on screen in Photoshop

Hello,
Suddenly I've got a strange thing.
After opening new file, preferences, or any other window in Photoshop there is a white dot appearing in one place.
The white dot is visible only in Photoshop over anything except mouse arrow and toolbars (if you drag them over this white dot).
If I delete preferences on startup or manually - the first launch of Photoshop is ok - no white dot.
When I close it and start again - the white dot is in place again.
Also.
If I use dual monitor configuration - there is no white dot.
If I on go disable second monitor - the dot appears after opening new window.
If I on go enable second monitor - the dot doesn't disappear.
My specs:
Macbook Pro 17
Mac OS X Mavericks
Photoshop CS5
Please help with ideas, I'm stuck.
Thanks.

That's definitely not a dead pixel.
When I just click through Photoshop on my wallpaper - the dot magically disappears.
Activate Photoshop again - appears again.
I've got an update info.
I've checked my GPUs work during this bug.
First launch after preferences reset causes Photoshop to use discrete GPU on start.
Second launch and after causes Photoshop to use integrated GPU on start and discrete GPU on opening preferences or opening or creating new file.
I'm sure that these two aspects are linked somehow.
Also I forced to use only integrated GPU. No dot.
Forced to use only discrete GPU. No dot.
So the problem is in Photoshop when it switches integrated GPU to discrete on on opening/creating file, or opening preferences.
Why it starts to happen only now - I don't know.
I haven't done any changes to preferences not in Photoshop, nor in System.
Forcing of GPU use is a partial solution, but it doesn't fix the problem suddenly appeared.
I doubt it's my hardware malfunctioning.

White dots on screen of my 65HM167 - DLP TV

I have 4 to 5 years old Toshiba 65HM167 - DLP Projection TV.(Serial # 35135210).
Recently I see few white dots on screen.
Can Toshiba change the faulty chip and fix this problem ?

Good luck with that. We called and they told us to call a repair center and have it fixed. With this many posts, it's obviously a defective chip - but Toshiba won't admit that and fix it.....

Dead Pixel Found in iPad2, engraved, 64GB, white, wi-fi only model

Hi. I received my iPad2 last thursday (April 28th). Today while playing, I noticed a dead pixel. Where I live, we don't have Apple stores (I had to order it to ship to the US, and then a relative sent it to me). It is engraved, so what should I do? I'm incredibly angry. After saving so much and waiting for so long to have it in my hands, now I have to ship it again and wait for another month?!

You're not near an Apple store, so what did you expect you'd have to do?
While it's frustrating to receive a product that has a flaw, I'm not sure what you expect us users on this forum to do for you.
You have two options: 1) keep the iPad with it's dead pixel
2) send it back to the US and see if it will be replaced.

White Specs and 1 Dead Pixel

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I have a week 36 iPod, without any of the audio or negative black issues but instead with tiny white specs that appear and disappear when I move the iPod in different angles. These white specs can only be seen on a black background and there are so many of them that I couldnt even count them. They also appear to be randomly appearing so they are very difficult to count.
The one dead pixel is to the right of the screen and is green. I am not too fussed about this but I wondered if any of you have the same issue?
I have looked at my iPod video and I do not seem to have the same white spec issues.
Here are some screens of my iPod touch video quality:

I have the same issue as you do. I think the technical word for this problem is a stuck pixel. In my case they are green and white and lots of them. Turn your brightness to full and then test you screen with a black background, and while you are at it show it also to a genius. I am sure they would replace it, please let us know how things went.
