Apple policy on stuck pixels on iPad?

My new iPad (two weeks old) has two stuck pixels - rather annoying, but I know it's common in LCD displays. Does anyone have an idea if Apple will fix/replace my iPad under warranty?

Here is Apple's official statement on display anomalies:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1721
As Tamara said, such issues are taken on a case-by-case basis, and depends in part on where on the screen the defective pixels are. So you'll need to call Apple and talk to them about your issue.
Good luck, and regards.

  • Red stuck pixel on iPad 2

    So I just bought mine yesterday at the Apple Store, and noticed a red stuck pixel in the bottom right corner. Basically has to be a white or light colored screen to even see it. Will it go away on its own? I was going to wait a little for the crowds to die down before taking it in.

    Try to fix it.
    First, go to th YouTube app and type in 'stuck pixel fixer' it will show a spectrum of colors changing very quickly, and it possibly can get rid of the dead pixel.
    If it doesn't work they will exchange you iPads. I had that happen to me.

  • How to fix a stuck pixel on IPad 4

    I just recently got my IPad 4 gen and have only had it for a couple days. My first impressions are this thing is amazing!!!! But after a couple days I've noticed a stuck pixel in the center of my screen... Is there a way to fix this or do I have to drive across town to the apple store to see if they can help? Hopefully I can do this alone cause I just bought this and I'm a bit low on cash now...

    Your product is still under warranty, so the repair won't cost you anything.

    Welcome to the discussions. The iPad goes on sale in the Netherlands on Friday, July 23 — so you may want to wait until then to call AppleCare on (31) 0900 7777 703.

  • IPhone 5 stuck pixels

    i have 3 stuck pixels on my screen. Can i use my warranty for this?
    what is the policy of Apple about the stuck pixels?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    I had my iphone in my pocket yesterday when I was in the workshop at college. I was in a car and my leg got wedged by the steering wheel, the leg with the iphone in the pocket. Checking it after, the phone was fine and is protected by a leather case. Later on, I was in my car using my phone to play music. I noticed a little cluster of greyish pixels. Thought not much of it, as it's a second hand iphone and is out of warranty, but this morning, (after my partner threw my phone across the room onto the bed), there are now lines travelling a long the screen from this small cluster.
    I'm not sure whether they're dead or not. I would rather have apple look at it, but I want to know how expensive it is to get a screen repair, or whether it worth paying for a whole recondition phone.
    Not having luck the past two months with phones. If I get a new one, it'll be my third.

  • How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Safari problem: iOS7 on iPad - Apple ID Support - Stuck on "Are you sure you want to submit this form again?"

    Safari problem: iOS7 on iPad - Apple ID Support - Stuck on "Are you sure you want to submit this form again?"
    Now Safari is totally stuck. Neither the "submit" nor the "cancel" button works.
    Since verifying Apple ID requires Safari (Google Chrome doesn't work because verifying email links only to Safari), it is impossible for me to change my Apple ID preferences.
    HELP!!!!

    Close Safari completely and reboot the iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Apple policy on MBP Retina with dead pixel

    Hi
    New MBP retina (<90 days) with dead pixel just appeared 2 days ago.
    Did anyone experience this and what's the Apple policy on this ?
    Thanks
    V

    Call Customer Support and have them replace the screen. They will send you a box to mail to depot.
    I had a MacBook Pro with a dead pixel and left speaker out. My MBP was 4 years old, definently out of warrenty. I called Apple, and they replaced the display without charge.
    I received the box on Wednesday, mailed it on Thursday (FedEx) and got my fixed MBP back on Friday, same week! This is why I still buy Apple.
    When calling customer service, stress that you have more than one pixel out, as you probably have a cluster. Have them do the repair at depot not at any Apple Store. Make sure, since you are still with 90 days, fix it for free.
    Should not be a problem.

    I don't know about steve---but I've owned 8 iPhones (5 for me and 3 for my wife) starting with the 3G and ending with my current iPhone 5 and none of them had a display problem of any kind. 
    Several of my family members also have iPhones--about 10 more, I'd guess, and none of them have a stuck pixel, either.
    If I had received a display with a stuck pixel I would have definitely returned it immediately.

  • Stuck Pixels: Lots of them. Can Apple give us Perfection?

    Should we just accept that a screen that has 163 pixels per inch is bound to have some stuck ones. My ipod is a week 37 and i have at-least 10-15 stuck pixels some are bright while others not so. I am very tempted to go to the apple store and return it, but then what is the guarantee that the replacement would not have any.
    So my first question is should we as consumers ask for perfection when it comes to a 1st generation product. And Second question is Can apple give us Perfection?

    Yes to both.
    You should expect it to be perfect, and Apple can give us perfection.
    Case in point, I've got a week 38, and the screen is flawless, but if it wasn't, I wouldn't be satisfied, regardless of if it's a 1st gen product (which it really isn't, because it's too similar to the iPhone to be such).
    If you feel that it's defective (stuck pixels count), go get yourself a refund/replacement, you're entitled to one.
    Week 37's obviously seem to have more problems, but I'd think if you get a replacement now, you'd probably get a Week 38/39.

  • I have a stuck pixel on my ipod touch..Can i send it to apple?

    Hi,my ipod touch has a green stuck pixel in the middle of the screen and its very annoying...Is this under warranty?Can i send it to apple and the can give me a new one?And if i can how can i contact them?THANKS!!@

    Well, if it's that annoying to you, I'd go to the nearest apple store, but before you do, you should make reservation to see the genius there. I'm sure they will help you. Just show them where the stuck pixel(s) are.
    But honestly, though I don't want to be a downer here, but even if you get it replaced, the possibility that you might get more stuck pixels when you get a new one. But of course, you can also be lucky that you can get a perfect one too. Usually stuck pixels should fix it self (not all the time tho).

  • 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.

  • Anyone have a problem returning one with stuck pixels?

    I have about 5 stuck pixels on mine. I am deciding if I should bring it back or not. Has anyone returned it for that reason? Did you have a problem?

    hello. I am also affected by the stuck pixel issue. I have about 3 that really stand out. At first, I was very frustrated with this and I was going to take it back. After a while, I realized that, unless they are smack dab in the middle of your screen, they aren't there if you don't pay attention to them. If your screen doesn't have the negative black effect, then you shouldn't return it. Plus, Apple has a pixel policy, although I don't know it. You may have a problem if the Genius doesn't see them.

  • Dead or stuck pixel after 24 hours!

    i recieved my iPad 2 yesterday from fedex and i looked at the backround and i noticed a tiny pixel that was stuck or dead what can i do?

    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.

  • Dead pixel on ipad 2

    Im sure you can see the white spot , it really stands out. I have noticed this since I bought my ipad a few months ago anybody know anyway I can get rid of it? it doesnt bother me but i dont like it there

    Unfortunately, you are now passed the refund period, and you are stuck with the stuck pixel.
    Stuck pixels normally occur at the time of manufacture, in other words your iPad always had that stuck pixel. On rare occasions a pixel will go bad after the display was manufactured.
    Any time you purchase any display, always check for stuck pixels. I recently purchased an Apple 30 inch display, upon taking it home and testing it with "Pixel Buddy" I found one stuck pixel.  I returned the display to the Apple Store where they cheerfully replaced it with a perfect one.
