24" iMac - bad pixels increasing

I have one of the first 24" iMacs. It had two pixels stuck white when I received it in Sept 06, but now it has nine. Why are these increasing and at what point is it a warranty issue?
Intel iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

i'd that's a case for warrenty repair now in my opinion, the fact it's increasing is a bad sign in general

IMac bad monitor. Bought external monitor, how do you shut off main?

I am one of the poor unfortnuate masses that have a bad iMac monitor - the one with all the lines going down it. Bad pixels. Sheesh.
I bought a HP 20 external monitor and hooked it up, it's working fine.
QUESTION: Am I able to shut down the main monitor down without affecting the external monitor? If so, how?
No sense in having both monitors working.
As always, thanks in advance!

There is no way to turn off the iMac's monitor, however there is a way to dim it to black like Dave suggests using Shades.

Bad pixelation on all 3 Sky +HD boxes

I'm get bad pixelation / no picture on the same channels on all 3 boxes. Signal strengths/quality varies but the channels are 419, 426 (but 458 is OK), 428, 508, 510, 513, 514, 515, 522.Installation is under warranty. Do I need an engineer?

Cancelled engineer . Worked out that it was growth on top of adjacent hedge that was weakening the signal and these channels were affected the most.

Bad pixels on iPhone when playing video

Hi! I have just purchased the iphone and am facing a peculiar problem. When I play video in either youtube or Safari (quicktime), after a while, the video quality deteriorates, i.e. a lot of bad, discoloured pixels start appearing. And this only happens with video playback. The discolouration does not appear if I switch to viewing photos etc.
Is this a common problem? Is it related to the iPhone overheating? Should I go to the iStore and get my phone replaced?
Would appreciate any thoughts/answers.
Thank you!

I've had issues with stuck pixels and The Apple Store agreed for an exchange. Using your iPhone, point your Safari browser to this site to check for bad pixels: http://www.ebaspace.com/iphone-app/#_home
That's the sure way of finding out. And if you have it, just go back to your local Apple Store and use the same website to show the person from the Genius Bar.

Bad pixel camera

on my iphone 5, when taking the back camera shows a small purple dot,maybe bad pixel.what to do?

if when you transfer the image to the computer
the pixel issue is gon
then it's the lcd on the phone not! the camera which have the problem
cameras don't have pixels in the repsect that lcd screens have

Bad pixel preview with bitmaps

Hi,
Is there a way to overcome the bad pixel preview me and my colleagues have in Illustrator CS5 when using bitmaps?
In CS4 we never had such a problem, now there is for bitmaps almost no difference between the overprint preview and the pixel preview.
In other words - noisy (like in the Photoshop noise filter)!
That is a real problem because we use bitmaps a lot for fabric prints and T-shirts.
Please advice

For the same reason as the guys on this topic are complaining....
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2786211#2786211
There is allmost no difference now between the overprint preview and the pixel preview when we talk about bitmaps...
Please dont answer the same things as in the linked topic. Let me know if there will be a fix or not. That's all I want to know.
In meanwhile I'll continue working on cs4 - because a that nice preview is crucial for our work!
Kind regards,
Klaas

Bad pixel patch correction in 2D image

In one CCD image (600X800), I have few patches of bad pixels (few are in irregular shapes, few are in regular one like rectangle of 8X8 pixels). For correcting these bad pixel patches, I am looking for some surface fitting function, which should have provision for excluding the defined pixel location.
These bad pixel patches needs to be computed by fitted surface only.

HI Thoric,
Thanks for reply,
When I convert the image in 2D array, bad patches also comes into 2D array.
of course...
and when I tried interpolation2D.vi, it considers these bad pixels for interpolation also.
I need to exclude these pixels for fitting (interpolation). How to exclude these points ?
Kindly help.
exactly, and this is where it gets complicated. So long as you know where the good and bad pixels are you can work on subsets of the 2D array that contain only one bad pixel, replacing that bad pixel with an interpolation of the surrounding good pixels. So, try working on 3x3 or 4x4 subsets that each contain only 1 bad pixel and perform the interpolation on each one at a time, putting the new interpolated result back into the original 2D array. With a knowledge of where each bad pixel is you can attack each one singularly.

How to add bad pixels to a DNG made from a CFA sensor raw data ?

Hello all, I'm trying to build a proper DNG file from the raw CFA image acquired directly form an industrial camera.
As usually there are a number of bad pixels around and I would like to mark them in the DNG so they can be correctly interpolated when the image is processed.
In the latest DNG SDK (1.4) I've only found this rather thin references:
"Defective Pixels
There are two ways to deal with defective pixels in DNG.
The first is to map out (interpolate over) the defective pixels before storing the raw data in DNG.
The second is to include a bad pixel fixing opcode in the OpcodeList1 tag."
OK, as each program/customer/etc. seem to have its own ( best ) algorithm to interpolate the bad pixels then OpcodeList1 it is.
But then I've got this: FixBadPixelsConstant and I'm not clear about its usage, especially BayerPhase, is the same BayerPhase that is specified as a global property of the CFA or it is something separate and what ?
Also is there some "industry standard" value for the Constant that will make more likely the established programs to process correctly the image ?
And this Constant value is unique per DNG or can it be more ot them added, i.e. to somehow characterize the "badness" of the pixel, like reduced sensitivity, stuck at 0/max, etc ?
In the end if somebody can share an one-liner on how to add programatically this tag using the SDK I'll be very grateful.
Sorry for my newebie questions and many thanks for your help.

Hello Dear
Look FB60 screen has two parts :
The one in which you enter information related to vendor is Header Level, in this case you already assign Personnel No. in Vendor Master so no field is required as Personnel no. will be picked up from Vendor Master level.
The Other is line item level is bottom half part, if you want to assign personnel no. at Expense G/L level then if you scroll right you will find a field for Personnel no. If you can't see the field check your setting at OBVV for the field status group you assign to particular Expense G/L.
Hope you Understood
Cheers

I have a few bad pixels , how can i fix it?

i just have bought my ipad 2 5 days ago and it has 1 dead or sleept pixel, what can i do?

There really is nothing you can do yourself for bad pixels. You need to make an appointment at your Genius Bar at your Apple Store. They'll check it out and when they see dead pixels, they'll replace your iPad. If you've already loaded music, pictures, mail, apps, etc., make sure you back up your iPad before going to the Apple Store. And make sure you write down all your passwords, etc., so it's easy to set up your replacement unit.

Bad pixel-what does it look like

I have two small spots on my 20" cinema display. They are irregular in size and dark. What are they?

It is helpful to inspect for bad pixels using a test pattern program like the following:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23237
Usually bad pixels will show up better using solid primary color screens. This is because it is usually an individual sub-pixel that fails, meaning just one color will fail among the Red, Green and Blue sub-pixel that makes up every "white" pixel.
If the spots on your screen are always dark and irregular in shape but still small, like the size of a text period symbol, then it could be some kind of contamination or particle inside the screen. Good luck.

Screen has a bad pixel

How long does it take to get your phone back if you send it in for repairs or will they swap it out for a new one?

They'll likely just replace your device. That's what they did for my first one when it had a bad pixel.... and my second one when it froze during voice input during navigation or texting... and my third one when it wouldn't scroll all the way down to the end of my photo album... and my fourth one because it was an unacceptable replacement (case not aligned and nicks on the edges). BTW the 3rd and 4th ones were "factery certified like new"... yeah right.
If you call them on the phone they'll just send you a "new" one with a return label for yours.
I gotta tell you, I really like the functionality of this phone when it functions correctly but this is getting ridiculous. Maybe I'll start a new thread with my gripes to see if I'm in this boat alone.

Bad pixels

Whats the maximum of bad pixels/subpixels that a 23"ACD must have in order to be replaced?

I believe Apple's "tolerance" is five. But it may vary based on how much noise you can make. You also have a 14 day period during which you can return the product for any reason.

Bad Pixel in Camera

Just got my K1 and have been going through the preloaded apps. All was fine until I opened the camera. There appears to be a bad pixel in the camera, near the center of the screen. It is there regardless of whether it is set to still or video. It appears in any picture or video taken.
What is the repair process here? Will the whole system just get replaced? Can the camera just be replaced?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Chooks,
Why not bring it in to work on Monday and well have a look at it? If the camera has to be replaced we can set up service, but it will be good to see what you are talking about before it is repaired.

Bad pixel or?

I have noticed a very tiny pixel on the bottom left of my screen that almost looks like a pixel-sized 'light'. It is very distinct and appears white. Is this some kind of sensor behind the screen or a bad pixel?

*"My laptop is about 2 months old - will Apple take it back and give me a new one?"*
No. 1 bad pixel out of the millions on the display is considered acceptable by today's industry standards.
If it's stuck you can try rubbing it out.

Bad pixel streak yet again and after warranty.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) This is very frustrating being this should not be an issue in first place. This is a replaced screen that was replaced due to bad pixels an now more bad pixels on the new screen. Apple store said it did fail the in house screen tests but it is out of warranty and i need to pay to have it replaced. Apple employee said its like a hard drive and apple is not responsible if it fails. Very poor example, they are not the same and essentially the SCREEN should not have repetitive issues of this nature. This is clearly a defect in the product that i love and they will not replace.
Can someone help?
