3 Dead Pixels after Blue Screen crash, should I make another Genius Bar appointment?

Ok, so yesterday I made a GB appointment, after a friend told me to, when I showed him that I had a dead pixel on my phone's screen. So when I got to apple, I showed them the dead pixel and they told me they were going to replace the screen on the phone. It turned out that the machine they use to do so, was down, so they ended up giving me a replacement phone. So I checked it out at the store and it looked fine. So now today, while running some errands, my new replacement iPhone had crashed and turned blue, then rebooted on me & a few moments after when I got back on the phone and was imessaging, I noticed 3 dead pixels instantly (one on right under the names of the contact on the message, on the J key on the board and to the middle-right where your send messages are displayed)
Now I'm thinking that, because my originally iPhone had crashed and turned blue also and I noticed the one dead pixel on it that same day, that the blue screen crashing could possibly be causing this??
Should I go back to the apple store and tell them what happened?

(Update) the pixels actually all seem to be red, whenever I go on a yellow screen and I just noticed a fourth one.    I think I should take my phone in

  • Wireless stopped working after blue screen crash. Please help

    Hi am desperate
    I was working on vista doing some graphic job when suddenly the screen turned blue with some message and a count down like thing. After a while vista rebooted fine but since then my wireless is not working anymore.
    I checked my device manager and everything is fine over there, driver installed correctly. But when i try to click on the power on button nothing happens and its not connecting or detecting to any wireless network.
    Then i try to uninstall the device from device manager, as soon as the uninstallation was done, vista installed it back. I checked the power button again and it worked this time. The window opened up and i could see the avaible networks to connect to. As soon as i clicked on any one of them. Some service crashed and i got this

  • Blue screen, crashes, freezes after ios 7.1 iphone 5s

    I've been using iphone 5s 64gb A1530 starting December 2013 without any problems. But after updating to 7.1 I faced blue screen crashes and freezes.
    Few sort of problems:
    1. blue screen appears then goes to gray and iphone falls asleep.
    2. blue screen appears then restarts then blue screen then restarts and loops until I will be successful with soft reset.
    I've been googling a lot for this problem and the solutions I tried didn't help:
    1. I switched of iCloud data copy.
    2. I restored from backup iCloud.
    3. I restored from backup iTunes.
    4. I restored as factory (unfortunately it still comes with 7.1)
    Nothing did help. Could you please give me advise how I can downgrade back to 7.0.6 or 7.0.5? Such resets are really annoying (over 20 times per day)
    In diagnosis part from Preferences I have a lot of kernel reports. If there is any way to heal my iphone or it's time to trash it?

    Finally Apple replaced the device with the new one. Service guy in Apple store tried to recover it from DFU mode but failed.
    I got no idea what ios7.1 brought to my iphone that after 4 months of normal usage it became a blue screen piece of metal. And maybe another app or virus crashed the hardware.

  • Every time I have tried to install firefox 6.0, it has blue screen crashed my system - can you help?

    I am using an old computer but it has dual processors and 4 gb of ram. I am using Windows XP home edition, sp2 atm. I have a Galaxy 200 vid card, sound-blaster X-Fi, Gigabyte mother board. Atm, all I have is IE 6.
    After the blue screen crash, I had trouble rebooting my computer. When I was able to reboot, the firefox 6.0 would not run and I could not uninstall it. I did a restore system and was finally able to uninstall it - at the time I still had the 5.0 installer on my desktop so I installed it- I don't have it now.
    I tried the firefox 6.0 before I had gotten all the updates for sp3- as I have had trouble getting the last windows updates to install.
    I am not a techie - what I have done is trial and error to try to get my software to work. I would either like to get a working version of firefox 6.0 or a safe download of firefox 4.0 as that worked and I had no problems with it.
    Can you assist?

    Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
    You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can.

  • Repeated blue screen crash when running labview 8.2 on Dell optiplex GX620

    Hi, I have recently experienced a series of 'blue screen' crashes on a Dell Optiplex GX620 while running Labview 8.2. The dell is running Windows XP SP2 with an ATI Radeon X600 graphics card. Labview is interfacing with a NI DAQPad 6015 device. The computer is a dedicated Labview machine so there is no other third party software that has been installed that could be causing the problem. Also, the computer is one of three identical machines, the only one that has labview installed and the only one that is crashing. Upon rebooting after the first 'blue screen' crash an error report indicated that there was a problem with the ATI graphics driver and suggested updating the driver to the latest version. This was done. Upon rebooting after the second 'blue screen' crash an error report indicated that there was a problem with the RAM. Both of these crashes occurred while running a labview application. A further two incidents have occurred where the computer has restarted for no apparent reason while running a labview application. I was wondering if you were aware of any known issues/incompatibilities with my specific machine and labview 8.2, or if there could be any other known issues with labview that might be causing the crashes. It should also be noted that this is a new setup and these crashes have occurred in relatively short time frame. Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    To have a better understanding of what is causing the blue screen crash and the Windows restart, we may need to retrieve the memory dump caused by the crash in Windows XP.  Before we actually get into that, we may need to disable Automatic Reboot by Windows when it crashes.  I have attached a link that describes how to disable computer reboot after a crash and I have also attached a link of how to retreive the memory dump.  Let me know how it goes!
    Why Does My Computer Automatically Reboot For No Reason?
    How Can I Create a Kernel Memory Dump When Windows Crashes?
    (Note that we want to select Complete memory dump, not Kernel Memory dump)

    Hey Ishland,
    You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
    I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.

  • Clicking on firefox icon causes blue screen crash

    This began Friday, Feb. 25, about mid day. The only changes to the system that morning were an update to an Adobe plugin, either Flash player or Shockwave, I'm not sure, and an update to the Scottrade Elite desktop trading app. Both of those changes occurred about 0900. The problems began about 1130 when the system, Windows 7 Home Premium had a blue screen crash. From that time on, I have uninstalled each of the apps mentioned. I cannot open Firefox to work on the plugins becuase every time I click on the icon I get a blue screen crash with the words "Page fault in non paged area" at the top. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the Firefox app with no apparent beneficial effect. The Scottrade trading app has been reinstalled and works well, causing no further probs.

    Hello mrcart,
    i think it is unlikely that firefox itself is causing an operating system crash, i had some time back an similar issue where a system of a friend of mine was crashing while using IE - thats the only app he used ... the system in his case had faulty ram, and i suspect you are facing some sort of hardware problem or faulty device driver.
    Please read this (also lists steps what you can do):
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957625.aspx
    (personally) I would suggest you start by checking your ram, you can do this in two ways:
    Search in your Windows 7 Start Menu for "ram", you should find something like "Diagnose your computer´s memory problems"
    ... Or, you use the memtest86+ tool from here (e.g. download the iso, burn it and boot from the cd):
    http://www.memtest.org/
    Check your eventlog for errors (e.g. disk errors, timeouts, etc).
    If you cannot track the problem down (i would suspect a hardware problem or faulty device driver ... e.g. it could be your video card driver doing something wrong) you should seek help at your computer manufacturer, an experienced friend, or using some forum.
    kind regards,
    John Kirk.

  • Total Blue Screen Crash

    Just had a really nasty crash, almost like a kernel panic except that there was no panic message.
    Had been running without a restart since installing 10.5.6. Woke up the computer from sleep and plugged in my iPhone 3g (running 2.2). It had apparently synched and was simply charging at the time of the crash (but see below).
    Several other applications had been running since the day before, including Entourage, Excel, and Word (all 2004, last updated a few months ago; there is a new 11.5.0 update I have not installed). Had checked mail a few minutes before with Entourage and it was hidden. Word was visible on my external monitor (which has the menu bar), and I was actively using Excel on the Macbook screen, editing a formula in a newly-added column. A few keystrokes back Excel had lost keyboard focus (as happens every five minutes or so, apparently a known problem for Rosetta) but as usual clicking on the desktop and then in Excel brought it back.
    Between two keystrokes, total crash. Both screens went pale blue with no messages of any kind, and a few seconds later I found myself at the startup login screen with the generic space background. Login completion seemed much faster than after a full restart, so probably some things were either still running or in a state that let them be used without reloading. But all applications were gone; I checked with Activity Monitor and nothing was running except system tasks and my login startup items. When I restarted Excel it loaded a recovery file that was nearly current; I lost only a few minutes of work.
    The console log makes it look as if the trigger may have been a failed iPhone synch operation of some kind. Just after it was logged (with a crash report sent automatically) there are a whole series of termination messages (WindowServer event port death, and a whole series of Exited: Terminated events for various applications.)
    Is this a known crash? If not, what's the best way to report it? It could be helpful to the OS team to have my logs. It may be relevant that Paragon NTFS was running (though not in active use), and posted some error messages to the console log during the crash and restart.

    This is an old thread, but I'm replying in case anyone can shed more light on the subject -- or if my experience helps.
    I've had the same blue screen crash a couple of times with my new MacBook Pro (which replaced a MacBook Pro with an apparent hardware problem about a week ago). Though I had problems with the first machine, I never had the blue screen issue with it (and it had a virtually sound-free trackpad click, which is sadly not the case on the replacement machine). But those are stories for another day.
    Anyway, I also have Excel 2004 installed on my machine (I also have Excel 2008 installed). But neither app was open during the last blue screen crash, a few moments ago. I only had a few applications open at the time: Mail, Microsoft Entourage 2008, Firefox, TextEdit and possibly Microsoft Word 2004.
    I was composing an email in Entourage when the computer screen simply became blue. A few seconds later I was returned to my desktop. All of my applications had closed, and when I reopened Entourage, I found a recovered version of the email I'd been composing, with just a sentence of recent typing unsaved.
    This has happened at least one other time on this machine -- again, just a blue screen that functioned like a very quick restart, with no accompanying kernel panic or error message. This machine also was giving me kernel panics the first few days I was working with it, but something -- a Firefox reinstall, a few trashed prefs and library files -- seems to have resolved that.

  • Blue screen crash when hooking up iPhone

    I have had my iPhone for a few months now and have only been able to hook up my phone to my husband's (far inferior) laptop. Whenever I hook my phone up to my Sony Vaio desktop I get a blue screen crash and the whole system starts rebooting. Does anyone else have this problem and what can I do about it? I called Apple support and after reinstalling iTunes they said they didn't know. They said it might be a driver issue but I don't really want to start removing random drivers as I don't want to lose functionality of my computer and I don't know which driver might be causing this...
    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Which USB port are you connecting to on the Vaio, what else is connected to USB, and have you checked Sony's site for updated USB root drivers?

  • Dead pixel in my screen? What will apple do?

    It seems that I have a dead pixel in my screen. I have a keen eye for them as I have had to replace 2 LCD tv's because of this. Even though it is'nt a huge deal I would like it fixed. Any idea on how apple will handle this? Just replace the phone I'm assuming. Anyone have this problem also? What was the outcome?

    So in other words what your saying is, there is a standard for how much your screen has to "not work" for them to care? And I read the pixel anomalies article by apple and it seems like a pretty BS way of getting out of replacing a phone. I talked to my buddy who is a TV salesman and he said it is rare to have this happen with TV's and when it does they replace them. Seems like apple should do the same. Hopefully I can get the issue resolved because this is
    not the only problem. When I am in the recent/contacts section my screen doesnt work or jumps around (doesnt select where I put my finger, goes random).

  • Dead Pixel , or uneven screen brightness test

    Hello
    I will get my new Imac monday.
    Could you please tell me how can I check the screen for dead pixels or uneven screen brightness issues?
    Thank you fpor your help
    Please when you explain, take in consideration that I never used a mac before,
    I am a switcher
    Many thx

    Normally you will see any stuck (colored) or dead (black) pixels right from the get go. Many times stuck pixels will unstick over time or by running pixel fixers.
    example: http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php
    In the unlikely event that you have any dead pixels, contact Apple, your local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider there really good about making things right.
    All computer displays will exhibit some sort of unevenness and or back light leakage, but most folks don't notice or worry about it. Unevenness can be seen using a solid light gray or light blue back ground and backlight leakage can be checked using a black screen.
    +Just slap up your favorite photo's or wallpapers on the desktop and move on.+

  • CS4 Blue Screen Crash on opening

    The program opens normally and after 3-5 seconds I get a blue screen crash. Just before the crash, photoshop displays a message about a problem with the display driver and GPU.  I am unable to read the entire message before the system crashes.  I re-installed the video driver and CS4 but the problem persists.
    This is a recent phenomena (two days ago). The program operated normally with the current OS/software/hardware configuration for over a year.
    Windows 7, SP1 (64-bit)
    Intel Core2 Q9550 @ 2.83gzh, 8gb RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti video card (updated driver)

    A blue screen means that you have defective hardware, or a low level driver bug.
    Applications cannot cause a bluescreen by themselves.
    This could be caused by the driver, or it could be that your GPU is going bad.
    Did you update the driver from NVidia's website?

  • B570 - Windows 8 - Blue screen crash & energy management error

    I upgraded to windows 8 on the day it came out in the uk with no problems, some of my apps had to be reinstalled but nothing major.
    the bluetooth app had to be uninstalled, never use it so not a major issue. the energy managment error just pops up on each start and i just click run without help. Seems to work fine, but would prefer for it not to have to ask me this.
    Anyway everything looked to be okay and then i got the blue screen crash. Said something about a kernal crash. This has happened about every 2 days now since the install and is very annoying, just happens very randomly even when the laptop is really fast. 
    I spoke to lenovo's support team and they said new drivers will be installed automatically and it should resolve. It hasnt. 
    Was just wondering if there is any fix for this? any new drivers out that have to be installed, or bios settings anything?
    Please help. Thanks

  • Apple's "Solution" for Blue-Screen Crashing Problem

    Good Morning,
    For those of you thinking of calling Apple's Technical Support for help about the Blue-Screen crashing issue, don't bother.
    I just got off the phone with Tech Support about the blue-screen crashing issue. After waiting 15 minutes for help, the first thing they did was act as if I were the first person to report this problem. The tech support guy finally admitted that Apple has received thousands of calls on this matter in the past couple of days.
    When I asked for a solution, the only thing the tech support guy offered was to have me disconnect all my external devices, then restart Windows and disable various services, the restart my computer, then reconnect my external devices, then reconnect the iPod, then restart the computer again...Absolutely ridiculous.
    I did all these steps, and I got the iPod to work once. But when I restarted my computer again, the problem returned.
    So, after a lot of wasted time, I'm back to where I started.
    I'm getting rather angry about this.
    Apple needs to fix this problem -- TODAY
    How could Apple release a new version of iTunes with this problem?
    If you call Tech Support and they try to tell you they have not heard of this problem before, just give them this list of links to discussions concerning the crashing issue:

  • HP-Pavilion A6130N Blue Screen Crashes

    Hi,
    I've been experiencing blues screen crashes for the past month and I'm not sure what is causing them. I've updated everything and ran HP diags and it states all hardware ok.
    I've uploaded my minidump, could someone analyze???
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/e6yxrhjylhblhyl/Mini110910-01.zip
    Thanks!!!

    Did you burn a set of the HP Recovery Disks?  It takes three DVD+Rs.  Is your data backed up?
    Did you check all the bios and software updates that were posted?
    Try this bootable memory diagnostic CD. Download memtest86 iso file and burn it to disk using Imgburn.
    Try this procedure:
    Unplug the PC and open it up. Clean out all the dust. Carefully remove and replace all the cables going to the motherboard one at a time. Do the same for the memory dimms and the video and sound cards if you have any.  You might want to buy a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink.  Plug your PC back in and give it a go. Don not keep your PC in an enclosed space.
    If after doing all the above and your PC is still crashing then use your HP Recovery Disks.
