Another stuck pixel

Hello!
I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.4 GHz that I got back in January. So far it's been pretty much faultless but I've got a stuck pixel that just developed yesterday. It's red, so I don't think it's dead. I'm trying the jscreenfix applet right now. Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.

OK, the applet did nothing. Under inspection with a magnifying glass, it appears that one subpixel is indeed dead for all colors but red. It functions under red, but is dark when under any other color.

  • Hp veer stuck pixels?

    I have a new veer that i got off from someone unlocked over ebay. A few weeks i reboot the phone and notice that theres around 8-10 stuck pixels on the screen. I tried looking for a way to get it fixed over warranty, but it only gives a phone number to AT&T, which I dont have. Is there a way i can get the warranty for my phone over the stuck pixels?
    thanks!

    You can call webOS tech support at 877-426-3777 to get a repair or replacement set up. If this device has been modified for another carrier it will be restored back to AT&T defaults including it being locked to AT&T.

  • Exporting nef from nef. Stuck pixel remains

    Hello,
    I realized that when I bring in my raw NEF files into lightroom it gets rid of a bothersome stuck pixel I have on my sensor. This is great, however I can't export out the original NEF without the pixel still remaining. Is there a way around this? I'm finding that the color quality of exporting out tiffs or jpegs doesn't compare at all to the color quality of the NEF. Is there a better color space to use to match this?
    Thanks,
    ~mark

    When you import the NEF into LR the stuck pixel is delt with when the preview is rendered from the raw data. Lightroom never makes any changes to the raw data.
    So when you export to NEF all you get is another copy of the raw file. 

  • Macbook pro retina dead/stuck pixel and warranty question

    So here's the situation.  A couple of weeks ago I brought my macbook pro 15'' retina into the apple store because the speakers were buzzing sometimes.  It wasn't a huge problem, but my 1-year warranty was about to expire so I figured I'd bring it it to get fixed.
    About a week later, I went to pick it up and I brought it back home.  I tried out the speakers (it was too loud to hear them in the store), and the problem was still there.  It wasn't worth complaning and bringing it back because I usually use external speakers anyway, so I figured I'd just live with it.
    But about a week later I noticed there is a dead/stuck pixel on my screen.  It shows up white against a black background, but is also detectable against a white background.  I can also faintly see a mark there when the display is turned off so I have a feeling it was caused by physical damage.  I want to bring it in to get it fixed but my warranty is now 2-3 weeks expired.  There is a 90-day guarantee on the speaker "repair" I had done, but obviously that is not directly related to the screen.
    I realize it's hard to believe screen issues would arise from a speaker repair.  However, I think it is at least possible that they damaged the screen when they took the computer apart.  I've had this computer for a year without any issues; I definitely would have noticed the pixel had it been there before--I do alot of programming with a black background.  It's quite a coincidence that I first notice a problem right after I bring it in to apple. 
    Do you think I can bring it in and get it repaired?  Should I call AppleCare?  Also, if they deny me the repair, is it too late to extend AppleCare for another year?  Thanks!
    (the display is Samsung, for those who are wondering)

    We are just users such as you so our opinions don't really matter.  Do bring the MBP in to the store and have a talk with a decision maker.  Sometimes good things happen but don't expect that to be the case.
    Regarding Apple care, you are too late.  It must be purchased prior to the expiration of the one year warranty.
    Ciao.

  • Dead pixel or stuck pixel??

    Hi,
    Have just received my Core 2 MacBook, I'll cut straight to the problem.
    There's one problem pixel on the display. A little way below and left of the centre of the screen. The pixel is black when on a white, red or blue screen, however the pixel is capable of displaying green, i.e. when I pass a green panel over it, it appears as normal.
    Does this indicate that the pixel is dead, or merely stuck? Or to ask my question in another way, will the Pixel Widget (or similar flashy thing ) have any effect on it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello
    I had 6 dead pixels on my macbook pro screen. I was quite annoyed about it.
    After a huge research I did find solution. At least you can try it is for free
    It is a small Jawa applet which flickers and can unstuck pixels.
    I had 6 dead pixels. After using this flickering applet for 10 minutes 4 of the pixels disappeared They were in the center of the screen.
    The last two are placed on the top of the screen. On the top dock where the blue apple is. Fortunately there is no way I know about how to hide this dock. Therefor stuck pixels remain. (if you know how to get this flickering applet over entire screen please let me know, the videos on the website did not work for me)
    Anyway check this website and good luck, Hope it helps.

  • Dead or stuck pixels?

    Hi
    I got my MBP a week ago and I didn't notice anything worng with it, except for the known things like "whine" and "heat", but I'm OK with that.
    Today I noticed a display issue, something like a dead pixel or whatever It might be called. I could have been there before, but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed it as I can see it pretty clearly now when browsing the net.
    I ran a pixel checker and saw another one, the same appearance! But a bit further away so I don't notice it when surfing.
    I have an external TFT monitor which also has one of these, the same kind. I Googled a bit now but I'm not sure if it's a stuck or a dead pixel. Stuck pixels seem to be fixable with some flashing movies, if you're lucky, but shouldn't be used too much as they might cause new stuck pixels (?).
    Anyway, I read DEAD pixels are black. My pixels are not black, but they aren't of the same color all the time. Depending on the angle I view them from, they "blink"/change color from red,green,blue, they aren't the same all the time.
    Do I have stuck or dead pixels?
    Thanks!
    edit: But it looks like a black little spot when I look at it straight in front with a, say, red, green or blue background behind it. I mean that there isn't any idea to run the pixel fixer if I know that they are dead.

    You, know, I think I just fixed it :P
    I read a lot on different sites just what you wrote here, but I wanted to make sure I had stuck and not dead pixels!
    Anyway, I ran the little movie file which flashed colors and then I just rubbed the spot with my finger... they both disappeared! Took less than 10 seconds! Using both the methods at the same time did the trick for me (in the short time I tried it anyway!)
    Would be pretty cool if my "dead" pixel on my external monitor disappeared also... Hehe, I've lived with that one over a year
    Thanks for the fast reply!

  • Dead / Stuck Pixels MBA

    Hi everyone,
    Just got a brand new MBA from JB Hi Fi. Much to my disappoinment the moment I turned it on there were a clump of dead or stuck pixels just to the right of the middle of my screen. Now I'm no expert on the size of a single pixel, but this is certianly noticable and may indeed be more than one together.
    I took my MBA back to JBs and they currently hold it there. They told me that they had to wait until Monday morning to call Apple to see if I can get a replacement.
    In the meantime, can anyone tell me the chances of getting a new MBA? I haven't even had it for 24 hours! Repair work is not an option for me because last time I had an Apple laptop repaired it came back all scratched up. Besides, surely since it was defective out of the box it can warrant replacement.
    Has anyone experienced pixel problems like this? How did you go with Apple?
    What steps should I be taking right now?
    Thanks I really appreciate any and all comments on this. I'm really quite anrgy that this has happened!
    Ed.

    I have had the same thing occur to me in the past with an Apple laptop (note: it occurs with all laptops since they use common components)... With my bad luck, it has occured to me twice now -- with both a new (within the return period), and another time almost a year later within the AppleCare period. The first one was a dead pixel, but I had another defect also with the case. Both times, I was fortunate they helped me out, and I will explain my situation below.
    I would think that if it is brand new, you should return it and demand a new replacement computer (or all of your money back). You should not have to get it "repaired" which essentially makes it a "refurbished" computer. Even if it is only one or a few pixels, it should not do this within 24 hrs.
    Now if it were outside the return period (such as more than 14 days), you may have a more difficult time. There apparently is an acceptable number of pixels allowed, but this all depends on the circumstances. I had a stuck bright red pixel almost dead center and some grey areas elsewhere... not good at all, and especially when showing my work to clients. I had it replaced under AppleCare.
    I hope this helps you out, and I would also call up Apple and let them know. If you are not satisfied with the vendor, you might be able to work something out with Apple directly. Good luck.

  • RLines of stuck pixel on GT780R screen

    I have a lot of stuck pixel lines on my MSI GT780R.
    They are not dead and when connecting the PC on another screen they don't appears.
    1/5 to 2/5 of my screen is hidden. Is there a way to recover them?
    Look like I am not the only one with that problem:
    Quote from: krysb on 10-August-13, 12:53:12
    Can anyone advise on the following; I recently left my GT780 shut down and unused for a month while I was away. On return and boot up I have noticed that I have very fine "pixel" lines across the top of my screen - approx 5 of them. I think they are slowly increasing in number 
    They do not affect  the laptop operation at this point, and depending on the background or programme running they are sometimes almost not visible. They also appear to range in colour - , not totally all the same colour there are bits of various colours along the line. Each line appears to be identical.
    Has there been some of upgrade that would have loaded in the background when I first rebooted on return?
    Anyone got any ideas or is my screen dying?? This is the best laptop I have ever owned. It is approx 18 months old. Running Win 7pro.

    It's probably your LCD going bad to be honest. There won't be anything you can do to fix it other than replacing the whole LCD panel.

  • Stuck Pixel!! Need Suggestions

    I've purchased my iMac (white) about a month ago and it has been PERFECT until yesterday. I was photoshopping with some red and then i discovered 2 stuck pixels about 3 inches away from the center of the screen. I tried to live with it for a couple days but they stick out like a sore thumb. It doesnt display any shades of red or white (turns bright green). I've done some research about LCD and its common for a screen to have dead/stuck pixels especially for a 24 incher. I've tried all the tricks i could find on the web and no luck. Should I give Apple tech support a call? or bring it to an apple store for an evaluation? I use this machine for a lot of photoshop and video editing. Will they still have the old white iMac screen replacement in stock? Should I take the chance of going through another LCD? Thanks in advance.
    Nathan C.

    I have the same problem--I purchased my white 20" iMac in August and just the other day I noticed a stuck sub-pixel fixed on red. It could have been there since I bought it, but I just never noticed. I've tried massaging it. I've tried Pixel Fix. Since it's only 1 sub-pixel, I'm not bringing it in. I understand that nothing is perfect. From what I understand, Apple considers stuck or dead pixels to be normal, up to a point. But like you, I do wonder--if I ever have to have my screen replaced, will Apple replace it with the same model screen, or will it put on of the cheap inferior aluminum iMac LCD panels in it? I certainly hope Apple has stockpiled spare parts for the white iMacs.

  • Stuck Pixel on Touchsmart 520

    Hello all,
    I have had a really annoying stuck (bright green) pixel for about 6 months now. Just before this one came around, I had another one which lasted for a couple of weeks and sorted itself, so I was hoping this would be the same, however it doesn't seem to want to budge.
    I have tried multiple "stuck pixel" software which are meant to help aid in removing them, however they have had no success (I even left one software running overnight for about 8 hours).
    I want to try the approach of massaging the screen, however because this is a touchscreen PC, I cannot actually touch the screen, as it feels like glass when I touch it. Is there a way of getting behind this glass screen so I can try to get this stuck pixel out?
    I'm fed up of seeing it now, it's now to the point where I am contemplating getting a new PC because I am so frustrated with this.
    An help is much appreciated!
    Regards,
    Tom.

  • Stucked pixels

    I just noticed my iphone has a tiny dead pixels color pale. Do i need to bring this immidiately to repair service provider? Or the dead pixel will just fade away by itself?

    By the end of the day I had  another 2 dead/stucked pixels, however by this morning they were gone... I didnt hesitate any longer and went back to get myself a refund. Dont really know how could I trust a piece of hardware that starts giving my problems so SOON.
    I gonna give it another, as I am getting a new Yoga on Tuesday. Hopefully this one will be better and who knows, no so **bleep** NOISY .

  • Need help fixing a stuck pixel in Premiere Pro CS6

    Editing on a MacPro, OSx.6, Premiere CS6, I have found a stuck pixel (red) on some of my footage. Tried removing with cc wire removal in AE, but that did not seem to want to work. Everytime we applied the wire filter to our comp, it turn the whole comp black. Does anyone know of another work around to fix a stuck pixel or another plug in to use?

    I've got the same issue - when CC Wire Removal is applied the entire screen goes black.  I tried it on two different systems running at significantly different specs - same result.  There is another blog on here someplace with many people reporting the same issue.  I'm curious as to why there isnt a fix for this already?  I've got a video to deliver by tomorrow for an international construction giant and I can't remove a freaking dead pixel!  I can't use the clone stamp as the pixel is right in the left corner of the mouth, so it's (depending on the frame) either just outside the mouth, in the mouth, on the tongue or on the tooth.  Very frustrating (also admit that my limited AE ability restricts me to applying the CC wire removal fix).
    I'm hoping I can render the footage in a different codec and maybe CC wire removal will cooperate...

  • IPT and Stuck Pixel Issue?

    Well I do have a week 39, tho I don't have any problems with it, but the fact that the stuck pixel can be quite annoying, not that it's a big stuck pixel, but it's rather a tiny one but on few places. But is it worth going back and exchanging for a new one or just keep the one I have? Even when PSP came out, most psp did have dead/stuck pixels but I've heard some say that with the black LCD's, it's not the manufacturer's fault for creating a dead/stuck pixel, that it is just there when they make them (I may be wrong but that's what I heard) Due to the fact that even if you exchange for a new one that the new one COULD have more stuck pixels than the previous one, so is it still worth going back and exchanging for a new one? What would I say to them? Will they give me a new one because of a stuck pixel? I did ask them that if any problem occurs that they will exchange for a new one within a month, and I suppose I heard them say that if somethings wrong with the screen that it's 2 week (probably about dead/stuck pixels). I want to know your opinions on what I should do. Though it is my decision, I've read other threads that people exchange theirs because they have a stuck pixel.

    Yea I went yesterday, but for some reason they couldn't see the stuck pixels, and I showed the location of the stuck pixels and still they could not find any. Which is surprising because the store was filled with bright light. When at home, I can see the stuck pixels. They told me to take a close shot of the stuck pixels with a camera (this is very ridiculous to me) and to bring it back and show them. So I did.
    Now, they are out of stock and won't receive their next shipment in 2 weeks. Well looks like I'll have to wait 2 weeks without my touch. I did not return it, but waiting for an exchange. Since I got mine on Monday the 8th, I have a bit over 1 week left before the 14 days are over, however, they told me that if I want to exchange I have to leave my touch with them since they were out of stock, and this way the 14 day thing will stop here. I find this ridiculous, I'm not sure about U.S but I live in Korea, they said they won't get there next shipment till 2 weeks, while I'm sure that U.S gets their new shipment the next day, but due to the supply and demand, i'm sure even in U.S they are out of stock (I may be wrong on this, but the supply is at scarce and the demand is high as of now).
    Now when I went there today, They only had 1 80 GB Ipod Classic left, and there were tons of Ipod Nano 3rd Gen. They were out of Touch.
    So they told me to give me my name and my contact so that when their next shipment arrives that they will contact me first thing when the next shipment arrives and they will reserve it for me. And that they will give me the screen protector for Free and that they will apply them on the screen, which is nice and makes me as a costumer happy.
    Now I do know the fact that even if I get a new touch, there is still a possibility that I could get another with stuck pixels, and if that happens, I guess I'll have to live with it.
    I'm not sure if I should take my laptop with me so that I can load up my music there on the spot and find any stuck pixels, but i'm sure the genious won't be too happy with me if I did that.
    I'm sorry for this long story, but that it is ridiculous how they don't get their next shipment in 2 weeks. Now I have no touch with me, but just a box, my nano (2nd gen) is broken and nothing I can do. Looks like I'd have to wait. For those who read this, I'm sorry for this long writing but it's my story after I had to go back to the store twice.
    BTW. I'm sure most likely that I will get a week 40+ IPT. So if anybody who does have a week 40+, I want some feedbacks if they encountered any problems. I'm sure it won't but who knows.

  • Does the warranty cover a stuck pixel?

    Will the warranty cover a stuck pixel on my iPad 2?

    Warranty should cover screen defects but not accidental damage. Only way to know is to visit an Apple store and ask.

  • Dead or stuck pixel

    Hello,
    I'm new to the forum here having recently converted. I've done a search or 2 on this issue but found nothing of note. I have one dead pixel(well its green or white sometimes) in the middle of the screen and its very annoying. I've read through all the support pages and found the usual pixel anomalies page explaing all about it.
    But It only mentions LCD's. There's no mention of LED screen, so would I be right in saying that there is no material specifying the restrictions of this and it would be considered a fault?

    Vermelho88 wrote:
    But what I mean is, they have no policy for LED screens stated yet so therefore its just plain faulty, as in "not as described" so wouldn't they have to replace it straight away?
    It's still an LCD display. The Al MacBook displays use LED (as opposed to fluorescent) backlighting. A dead/stuck pixel is still an LCD malfunction. One dead pixel is considered normal. If it weren't the cost to the manufacturer would be considerably more in terms of rejected parts and warranty returns.
