Bright(dead pixels) replacement policy macbook pro retina

Yes i have had it tested and it is a confirmed hardware related pixel problem. I have 4 bright green pixels on my macbook pro retina 15 inch which is very annoying when you are working in (the dead pixels are in the middle of the screen!)processing applications like the kinect/photoshop. And this meets apples policy critera and according to it i should receive a product replacemnet not a simple screen replacement( the product is the macbook pro not the screen) and the apple stores in india say that they do not follow this policy, no where on the internet or anywhere have i heard this. Apple is renowned for its worldwide support, but it from one place and have similar support everywhere. I bought the laptop(the highest end with 16 gb ram for my projects, 2.7) whoch costed me about 4000 US dollars now when you pay that much you cannot live with people opening your laptop and replacing some parts in it(remember the unibody part?). And i am also experienceing burn in issues for a long time( due to the inferior screen that i was provided with- yes the LG display). I am really annoyed and will take the laptop to honk kong where i bought it from and will not settle without a product replacemnet per se apples policy. Again india seriously??

  • There is dead pixel in my Macbook Pro Retina

    There is dead pixel in my Macbook Pro Retina, I just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and a dead pixel appears. i ran out of warranty period, does anyone have a solution?

    If they're named .DS_Store and .Trashes, they're created by Mac OS X; in this case, there is no malware to detect or remove.

  • Dead pixels appeared on Macbook Pro Retina 15"

    Hi,
    Bought my Macbook on September / 2014 and so far no problems.
    Unfortunately today a lot of dead pixels appeared on the center of my screen !
    I tried to clean it but it seems to be behind the screen actually. Tried to reboot and reset SMC as request by Apple support, with no success : (
    They suggested i bring it to the nearest service center, problem is i use my machine to work and it probably will take weeks to repair.
    Is there any other solution ? Why this happened ? My previous Macbook was not Retina and never had this kind of issue.
    I took a photo of the screens while in the google website :
    Very disappointed

    A 15 ft display boy that is big. Perhaps a smaller display with fewer pixels is in order.

  • Extend or replace battery MacBook Pro Retina

    Dear All,
    I own a MacBook Pro Retina 13' 2.4Ghz/4GB (2013) but the battery life has been terrible in the last couple of months. I probably get around 3-4 hours doing simple things like Safari on 30/40% screen brightness. The drop in battery life has been significant. MacBook is 1.2 years old and 275 cycles. I really need more than 3-4 hours.
    Two questions:
    1. What can I do to extend the battery life. I aim around 5 hours of usage.
    2. Could I replace the battery of my MacBook?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well like Kappy says.
    Also this is a known issue:
    http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/11/10/os-x-yosemite-problems-fixes/
    "Soon after the release we heard complaints about OS X Yosemite battery life problems. The battery life drains much faster than normal for some users. For many, this is likely due to spotlight indexing after the update and using the battery faster. Typically this will resolve itself after a day or two."
    They also want you to look at activity monitor.

  • Battery replacement on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013?

    Could you replace your batteries in a 13in MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 yourself?
    If not, could Apple replace them at a fee or could I go to a third party shop?
    Also, how long or how much cycles does a battery last?
    I was planning to buy a macbook and was taking that into consideration.

  • How can I fix stuck pixels on a MacBook Pro Retina?

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" Retina bought on Nov 2012 and I always have stuck pixels, mostly when whatching videos from YouTube.
    Is this normal or can I fix this easily?

    What do you mean by stuck pixels?
    Display issues can only be remedied by replacement of the display, the connection or the GPU.
    Ciao.

  • InDesign CS6 pixelated workspace on MacBook Pro Retina

    I've recently purchased a Retina MacBook Pro and the Adobe CS6 (Design/Web Premium) I've updated all the Adobe CS6 programs as they all had pixelated workspaces. After the update, InDesign CS6 (version 8.0.2) is still pixelated... Is there a reason why the other programs (Illustrator and Photoshop) fixed the pixelation problem but not InDesign?

  • Wifi replacement for MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)

    Over the last few months my wifi card has begun to get slower and slower and sometimes will not connect at all.  I spoke with an Apple tech, not at Apple and he said that Apple has had trouble with their Wifi cards on these MacBook's and it will likely need to be replaced. I am out of warranty and looked at the swap out video on iFixIt and it looks easy.
    What is not so easy is making sure to get the right replacement board.  Would like to use the later board to get a/c and Bluetooth 4.0.  Any ideas on part numbers and sources?  There are many parts on ebay and Amazon but it is hard to know which one is right.
    Thanks for any insight or help.  I understand others are in the same bind.
    Below is one I found but was not sure if it was right.

  • Dead pixel in LED Macbook pro 15.4" display

    I have a dead pixel in my display. Does the Apple's warranty covers this issue?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on the version twice, note down the last three characters of its serial number, append them to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= , load the page, and check the RAM limit for your Mac model.

  • My MacBook Pro Retina 2013 has a Dead Pixel

    I just noticed my MacBook Pro Retina has a dead pixel in it. It is black then changes to white when on a black screen. (It's just one) It just came out of no where, and I wanted to know if I was still in Warranty? And if not how mush would it cost to repair it?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your Mac is in warranty if you purchased it less than a year ago. In this case, you can try taking the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to see if they can replace the screen, although I have seen cases in which Apple refused to replace it if there was only one dead pixel. You do not lose anything by trying this.
    Before taking the MacBook, make a backup of your files on an external drive with Time Machine.

  • I've got a dead pixel (white) in the middle of my Macbook-pro retina display.

    I've got a dead pixel (white) in the middle of my Macbook-pro retina display, what to do?
    Just bought it a a month ago, and it's really anoying me!
    Harmen

    Take it back in and gently but firmly try to persuade a senior supervisor to authorize a replacement. Had it been stuck on black, would have been easier on the persuasion, but you may get lucky.

  • MacBook Pro retina dead/stuck pixel

    Hi this morning I turnd on my mac. And when watching a video, that had a dark background I noticed a white dot on the screen. I tried to clean it but it did not move. I did a bit of research and have come to think this is a dead or stuck Pixel. It shows on dark backgrounds,  and shows up as a little dark dot on white background. If you look at it for a magnifying glass you can see the colours within the pixels. Is it stuck? I've seen some videos online that apparently fix dead pixels. and programs that is JFixit. Do these work? My one year warranty has just run out so if I have to go to apple, I will have to get AppleCare. how much is this cost for my mbpr if I have o get it.
    Any helped be appreciated. This appears to be a common problem on MacBook Pro Ratners. So some more publicity about it would be good. Any help would be appreciated thank you very much.

    Hey.. I had the same problem with my Macbook pro Retina 15.  On discovering the same spot on my screen, i rushed to the apple store from where i bought this macbook. They seeing my problem immediately took my macbook for LCD replacement and asked me come after 15 working days> But after 2-3 days they gave me a call that this cannot be replaced since they are not getting permission and the required part from the apple. So i called on the apple customer care and registered  my complained. Firstly they even said that this is the first time they are ecountering such problem n asked me to keep my mac with me n observe whether this SPOT increases in future or not, and only if it did, they will replace it. I strongly opposed this coz i have spent 150K for my machine and therefore i will except no less than a new machine.
    After hours of discussions with the head of the techinical team and the US team, and after 7 days approx, they decided to give my machine green signal for LCD replacement, and also asked the service centre to get it done ASAP and also supplied the req. part.
    n today, my machine is working perfectly fine and has no probs with the display.
    I would suggest you to take same and immediate action abt this and donnot except anything less that a perfectly working machine. 
    All the Best !! (y)

  • Macbook Pro Retina has 3 dead pixel clutter

    I have had my Macbook Pro Retina for a month and i have 3 dead pixel clutters. It first started with one, know there's two more. Should i wait to take it to the apple store to have it replaced or fixed.

    Definitely not normal. A month is a bit long for a replacement though. Take it back and they should be able to repair it though.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Display - Crack/Pixel explosion?

    A week or so ago I noticed what looked to be a spec of dirt on my 6 month old MacBook Pro retina screen.  However it actually is some sort of chip/crack in the display.  There are a few pixels which are now permanently white and you can see the hole with the naked eye and feel it quite easily.  It almost looks as if a pen or something has been jammed into the screen but I take good care of my MacBook and haven't caught anything on the screen as far as I'm aware.
    I did a search on here and saw that several people have reported "pixel explosions" where dead pixels have burned a hole into the screen.  I took my MacBook into the Apple with printouts of several discussions of others reporting the same problem with a hole in the screen but the Genius refused to do anything in my case.  She basically said it was impossible for the hole to be anything but my fault despite the forum threads I showed her.  Is it worth me taking it into a different Apple store for a second opinion or am I stuck with this annoying hole in the bottom left of my screen forever?

    I just found out the same thing on my MBPr tonight,acturally i got three this holes two small and one big one, I'm very disappointing, I have been searching and there are many versions of the solutions, some lucky people manage to get replaced, but some people like you didn't convince the genius people for a replacement, have you tried different apple store yet, maybe it depends on the people's mood at the apple store, I'm going to try my luck next Monday, finger crossed, I think i will definitely try different store if i cannot get it replaced, hopefully i will show you my good news. otherwise i will be very sad if i can get it replaced, I'm the Sheldon Cooper(from "bigbang theroy") kind of people, and i will be stare at the point forever and frustrated.

  • Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15" screen brightness is dull?

    I winder if someone can help me with a issue regarding my machine.
    I have recently had my early 2013 Macbook Pro retina replaced with the late 2013 model and found that the screen brightness  at maximum is (or appears) to be somewhat less?
    Can any anyone help?
    Regards

    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000. 
    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300. 
    With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
    The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
    All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
    So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
    If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
    The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
    They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
    Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
    Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
    The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
    On other applications your mileage may vary.
    Application benchmarks:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
    The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
    Graphics oriented benchmarks:
    On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
    On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
    On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.
