Any dead pixels on your Ipod screen?

I had my ipod for 2 weeks now. Only thing that bothers me (when screen show dark background video) that there's a dead pixel on it. Does anyone else has a 'perfect' screen out there?

Alan---
I have had two iPod's: a 20 gig 3rd generation and currently own a nano! I love the both, and I have not had a dead pixel on either! I am very happy! I haven't heard of problems with dead pixels before...I'm sorry.

Dead pixel or Dirt under screen cover?

Hello,
I have one (1) dead pixel on my Ipod touch 4 gen screen, it is dead - due to it is always black, and never change it's position/color. Have checked it with some ipod app, changing colors, and "trying to" fix stuck pixels aswell.
After that - I sent Ipod for repairs, but the've sent it back, because thay said they couldn't find any dead pixels (probably checking with software?).
i'm not very keen on it, but it does a little worse, when reading books..
Maybe it is dirt under the cover of the screen, but indeed, I don't like it. So maybe there is a service (at my cost probably) to change the screen cover, due to the fact, that it has some marks on it (bought screen cover protector not so early).
Pictures showing the "spot", not so sharp though...

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to everyone..

If you have an Apple store nearby, I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Yu can show them the problem.
This place will replace it for $80.

I would bring it to your nearest apple store or AASP and have them look at it. We can not predict what Apple may or may not do. good luck.

Do I have a dead pixel on my ipod touch I can change?

I appeared a dead pixel on my ipod touch 4, still has warranty, but I wonder if this falls under warranty, to see if what I took to fix or change.
I have almost more than 3 months in.

Maybe. See:

DEAD PIXEL ON MY IPOD!

I GOT MY FIRST IPOD FOR MY BIRTHDAY IN JANUARY FROM MY MOM. MY FIRST IPOD WAS DEFECTED WITH A DEAD-PIXEL ON IT. I WANTED TO GET IT REPLACED FOR A NEW ONE BUT SADYLY I COULDN'T DO THAT. IT'S REALLY HARD TRYIN TO DEAL WITH THE DEAD PIXEL ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TRYING TO WATCH MY FAVORITE TV SHOW. IT IS REALLY DISTRATING AND REDUCES THE VALUE OF MY PRECIOUS IPOD GREATLY. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON ANY OF MY ELECTRONIC GADGETS AND IT MAKES ME SAD TO KNOW THAT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ANY BODY HAVE ANY IDEAS ON WHAT I CAN DO? MY IPOD IS ONLY 2 AND A HALF MONTHS OLD. I WISH APPLE WOULD FEEL PITTY FOR ME AND HELP ME OUT.
THANKS,

Why? The iPod is clearly under warranty.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.
You can make an appointment by using this link.
Genius Bar Appointments.
Btw, posting in all caps is considered yelling. You may want to turn off the caps lock.

How can I fix Dead pixels on The iPod 4g

Hi
I have a Problem. My iPod have on The screen many Dead pixels. How can I fix this because I have My iPod for 2 and a half years so I have no gaurante. Pls help.

You cannot "fix" dead pixels. All you can do is replace the screen. See:
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

Dead pixel on macbook pro screen

i have a dead pixel on my screen what should i do ? and are they going to do with my macbook ???
thank you

Is it brand new? You have 14 day return policy.
Otherwise
I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store, make a reservation.

I sent my mbp 15" to the service center for a dead pixel. they changed the screen but now, I get notified that I need to restart my mbp and now, I just hear 3 beeps and it doesn' turn on.

I sent it to the service center last month to be repaired. It was running fine and it was perfect except for the dead pixel. Today, I got it back. They changed the screen. When I got home, I opened it and it was running fine until my screen darkened with a message telling me that I need to restart. And I turned it on again, and after a few times of black screen and restarting, it won't turn on and it beeps 3x when I try to turn it on. It became worse after the dead pixel repair. My question is what is the problem with my mbp? And how long would it take to get repaired because I'm a collge student who really needs a laptop.

When it beeps 3 times, it means that it's the RAM. now we have two scenarios here :
1 - The RAM is Dead and needs to be replaced
2 - The other one is that during shipping and all the RAM might have been improperly seated, you need to take it to the service stores and they would reseat the RAM for you and that will be an easy fix. but if the RAM is dead then they would replace the RAM if your MBP is still under warranty.

Dead pixel on my iPod Touch3g 64GB (still under warranty)

i read through the manual,and googled a lot ran some color changing test which said will fix it, but still i got a dead pixel (one single dot on left side of screen, its more prominent in a black background ) will Apple change/replace/repair/refuse my iPod ?

Ok, so i called up the store today,they asked me to contact the service center,the guy from service center said that they will look into it and if its not a water damage they will replace the lcd.(would take 6days) So i want to remove my data from my iPod Touch without deleting the data from my laptop iTunes. and i will also like to unlink my Apple id from iPod touch only(not the iTunes in computer) before i give it for repair. Will restoring it with iTunes help? or is there a different process? (and does restore requires internet?)

Dead pixels on 2 ipod touches

i've just recieved my second ipod touch after noticing more than 6 dead pixels on the first, well this one looked ok until i saw a line of dead pixels near the edge of the screen, Great, i thought got another one with dead pixels - i dont know whether to register it or not, and put my music on it, or send it back to amazon OR contact apple...
i sent the last one back to amazon but i dont know whether to do that again!
please help!

I wouldn't send it back to Apple, some people on this forum are saying that they send it back to Apple and sometimes they say "Unable to duplicate the issue" and send the same iPT back to you.
I'd send it back to Amazon, get a refund and go to a store and get one. I went through 5 iPTs from Apple Store, all with stuck-pixels, until I gave up getting from one them and getting a perfect one from Best Buy. Do not keep a mal-functioning unit no matter how many you go through. Hope this helps.

How to fix "Dead Pixel(s)" on LCD screen

I currently bought a Brand new tv off ebay, and when I got it in the mail, I was excited, but when I turned it on 22" LED Back light LCD 1080p full HDTV, and it has 2 dead pixels. I didn't think much of it, but its passed the point of when I can return it to the owner from which I bought it from. My question is, is there retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart or any other store that can fix Dead Pixels (the pixels aren't stuck, they are dead) I've tried multiple ways to fix it, such as they suggest, but Im willing to spend a few extra bucks to have the 2 pixels replaced/fixed. I've done the tapping the dead pixel to even see if it would register and it doesn't and the damp clothe way, including the heating it up with poor ventilation, for a day or so. I have seen success it in, but not completely. Help would be very much appreciated. thanks.

There is a difference betwen a "stuck" pixel and a "Dead" pixel. a stuck pixel is one that is not cycling; it is either not discharging (stuck on) or not charging (stuck off). Such pixels can spontaneously correct themselves, and are prone to recurring.
Dead pixels are pixels that are not operating at all. They are OFF, meaning dark. If the pixel is on, and displaying any color, then it is stuck and not dead. Dead pixels are generally not repairable, and are permanent.
Forget the "tricks" that you have heard. Any success you have uysing them is merely coincidental. In many cases, cycling the unit will revive stuck pixels, as sill allowing the unit to either reach full operating temperature or cooling to the coldest ambient temperature possible.
Good luck...I hope your pixels are stuck and not dead.

Screen has black/dead pixels and line across screen.

My iphone is still under its one year warranty. I can not recall any drops or it ever being handled roughly, however I have a black/gray blob of dead pixels in the left corner and my screen has a shiny line that looks like a crack of the LCD, however the glass screen is not cracked in any way that I can tell. I think the dead pixels are spreading as well. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know if this is under warranty? I live over an hour and a half from the nearest apple store so I really don't want to take a special trip to see a genius only to find out that I will have to pay $200 to get this fixed. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

If it is still under warranty, they should replace the screen without charging you. The same thing happened to me a few months ago and they replaced it for free. You might have to make the long trip to the store but they shouldn't charge you and it will take about 30 minutes. Call to make an appointment first if you plan to go to the apple store.

Dead pixels and dust under screen of 4 new iPads

I own 2 iPhones and finally decided to buy an iPad, actually 2, one for myself and one for my fiancé. On launch night we purchased a 16gb black wifi model at our local Walmart. After about and hour so, we noticed the screen had 2 dead pixels. So we returned it for a refund and went to our local BestBuy today and purchased two black 16gb wifi models. They both had dead pixels or dust under the screen. So we returned to BestBuy and showed it to multiple employees and the store manager. While on my way back to the store I called the Apple support number to report the issue. The Apple guy said it was probably a bad batch.
We ended up getting 2 16gb white models. I am using one now to type this message. It's screen is flawless. Unfortunately, the other white iPad has two dead pixels. So I am returning to BestBuy in the morning to exchange the white one for another.
I didn't think it was possible to have this much bad luck with a product. I am still a huge Apple fan and will continue to purchase Apple products. It must be Samsung's quality control. At least I have one flawless iPad. If I have to pay $200 extra to get a flawless 64GB model I will.
Anyone else have any issues with the screen on the new iPad?

Well I had an issue as well with the New iPad screen. The first had dust under the screen took it back upgraded to a Verizon model at an apple store. I made the mistake not checking it before I drove 50 miles back home. Got home same issue!!! Now i was off to apple store again to have it replaced which they did. This time I opened it in the store sure enough another one with dust or dead pixels on the screen. It was very clear on a white background. They swapped it again now this is my fourth New iPad checked it out again and it was 100 percent perfect for now which it should be NEW.
