Bright White Pixel

My iPhone 6 has got a bright white pixel that can be seen on any colour exept black. You can even see it on dark grey. I am wondering what this is, and how I can fix it. It is unlikely it was due to pressure. About the size of a grain of salt or two. Tiny but it bugs me so much. Please help. Thanks

Bright White Pixel on LCD - But NOT Visible on Black Background

Hi All,
Just noticed today on my macbook pro (Early 08 - july manufacture) that a small white spot has appeared. Not the blobby large spots that were common lcd problems before on older models, but almost a pinprick of a white spot.
Now its not a dead pixel, since its not black, and its not a stuck pixel, since it has no definite visible colour, also, it is NOT visible on a black background (is this due to the way LED backlights work???) so i dont think its a HOT pixel exactly...it is most visible on plain white backgound - but on any colour R/B/G it is visible as a spot that is brighter than the other area around.
...so...what is it, how can i find out what it is? and might warranty help (presumably for one pixel = no)?
What might i try? Anyone else have experience of this? Every other forum post forum either talks about: 1) dead pixel that si ALWAYS black 2) Pixel that is always white but even on black background 3) coloured pixel - none of which i have exactly, my white pixel is NOT at all visible on black background.

Hi:
I just want to tell you that my Macbook Pro is the same as yours, at it presents that small white spots problem.
In fact, let me tell you all, that those are not dead or stuck pixels, is a problem on the LCD itself, the pixels on that spots are lighter than the other pixels, that's why they look white, but they are not white. They are a lighter color than the other pixels. But again, those are not pixels, in fact they are a group of pixels, from 6 to 13 pixels eash one. Also you can notice like hairlines with the same issue.
My white spots are on the left side of the screen, y 4 of them.
Also, my screen haves particles inside.
I will take my laptop to the apple service senter, and it doesn't matter what they say, they will have to exchange my screen.

Bright White Pixels on Screen / Apple Replacement

Thought this might be useful to others. Bought a new MacPro 13" fully maxed out about 6 months ago. My second Apple, first one is a PowerBook that is 7 years old and still kicking. Anyway, I noticed in the bottom left hand corner, about 6-7 pixels (size of a pea) would turn bright white on certain white web pages. Sort of anoyed me and who knows if it would get worse. Knowing how expensive Apple products are to fix and the fact that is was still under warranty I brought to my Apple store in Philadelphia, PA.
Tech took one look at it and said they would relace the screen. According this forum, others have had same issue, was a defective screen sourced from, I think Samsung.
3 hours later, Tech calls me and says, "while we had you computer open, we noticed you also have a defective motherboard and memory!" Wow, am I glad I brought this baby in because I was on the fence about it. He said Apple would replace the entire computer with a brand new one, swapped out my 500GB hard drive for me and gave me a new 1 year warranty.
I was also on the fence about buying the Apple Care extended warranty, but now I plan on buying it in 11 or so months. At least I am glad that Apple stand behind their products, as they should for the price we pay. Hope this helps others.

I had the same thing, a macbook pro bought in may 2010. I noticed a bright spot on the screen two weeks ago, really only visible when a light background behind the spot. I took it in and they said, yah we will replace the screen.
I called a week later, having been told that the replacement screen was in stock and that it would be done in a few days, figuring it must be done and they haven't called. They wouldn't give me any information over the phone except that a part that was defective needed to be ordered... I had to go into the store for them to tell me that they found that the logic board was defective as the problem was not fixed by replacing the screen. Oh and by the way the mic cable was messed up so that needed to be replaced too...
Needless to say, I am frustrated because they won't have the new logic board for a week or more, and did not bother to call me and let me know that they were making more (unauthorized by me) repairs, and I am out from my computer for more time.
Reading your post, I am wondering why they didn't just switch out the hard drive and give me a new computer as they are replacing the guts of it anyways and mine looks brand new - it never leaves my desk or its furry incase!
Not to mention, now I will have new parts with no new warranty and what is to say that these things won't be defective and manifest themselves in another seven months when it is beyond its original 1 year warranty.
What is the defect in the logic board that causes a bright spot on the screen????? and why did no one bother to call me to authorize all of this! It looks like this is actually a known common problem, so why does apple not extend the warranty on the parts they are replacing to cover them for their first year knowing they very well might fail again?!
I love my computer and paid the big bucks to make the switch to apple, I guess I expect more from the customer service and the tech end of the company...

IPad 1 has bright white spot

I have an annoying problem with my original ipad 1.
It has a bright white spot (more visible on white pages) about a cm above the round button on the screen
And a red dead pixel on the right side.
It is now obviously out of warrenty but would an Apple Genius Bar worker replace my device for free?
(below is an image but the picture didnt take very clearly at all, the white patch is very bright)

Apple provides out of warranty service, but obviously for a fee. See the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

White pixels and too much contrast on new touch

hi all!
i got a new touch today. i allready have one but this one i won in a contest. anyway, when after having synced over alot of content i started noticing som strange things about the screen. first of all, some colors looks washed out and too bright. it has nothing to do with the settings since i allways had my old one on full brightness and it never looked like this.
then i when i looked closer at the screen i saw alot of white pixels that disapeared and apeared depending on how i hold the touch. here is a pic of the pixels (note that the screen is not this bright, my cam just made it like that for some reason):
http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/8443/shiiiit012copyqv1.png
so is this what people call dead pixels? would i get a new touch if i send it to apple you think? or are there anything els i could do? we dont have any official apple stores where i live. thanks alot in advance!

Did you get this problem fixed? I have only had my ipod touch for about 30 days and it too lost it's contrast. It now looks white washed, with little contrast. There is no true black, white or gray, and the colors seemed washed out. I am considering simply taking it in for repair. What did you do? Thanks for any information you can provide.

White pixel band on my 15" screen

Hello guys!
I hope you can help me because I do not know where to turn now. Let me explain my problem.
I purchased in the month of November 2010 my 15 "MacBook Pro (mid 2010, 2.4 GHz, 4GB of RAM). During the first year of use no problem, the mac worked great and I used it immediately as your primary computer ( traveling and living away from home was an obvious choice.) If at the beginning of the second year were presented serious problems, namely: continuous computer crash, that I initially tried to solve disassembling and exchanging of cards instead of the Ram ), irreversible damage to hard disk drives (internal and external) resulting in loss of critical data, partly recovered by programs such as Drive Genius. And a band of white pixels appeared on the screen (approximately 6.5 cm from the left side of the screen wide and about 4 cm), which is attenuated slightly shake up the screen. All these problems (in time of exams and work) have led me first to ask for help Aesse computer, Apple Premium Reseller of Catania, with whom we have tested the Mac for more than a month, and it was found necessary to replace the Main Board. same fate at the Apple Store in Catania.
After litigation related to Apple's warranty (the problem occurred in the second year and was linked to a lack of conformity), the Mac has been sent by the retailer Euronics (chain reseller Italian electronics) where I bought it, to its headquarters in Turin , where it replaced the Main Board. It's all right for a year.
To be noted that in terms of performance, the Mac is back to the first, but about two weeks the band reappeared pixels, giving me a few problems in the visualization and realization of the work (I'm a graphic designer). The Hardware Test does not detect any problems and the band alternates between moments of everlasting presence in moments of terrifying absence (for example, two days ago I had to present to a client a job with the **** white band, the first five minutes when he was absent ).
I did research on research on the internet but it seems this problem is far from common (the only loser I am, of course). I assume by contradiction that it is a burnt connector on the screen, because when the screen is slightly bent at the sides of the band fades or disappears (sometimes to reappear, sometimes to disappear), but would not explain why after repair (not touching the screen, but only the Main Board), the problem was not resubmitted immediately, but only after a year ... So, not being an expert, I ask you if you can understand what the problem is, because I have run out of options.
Thank you all for your attention

My refurbished rMBP 15" has a stuck (white) pixel and is still under the 1 year limited warranty, can/will Apple repair it if I go to an Apple Store?

Hi, my refurbished rMBP 15" has a stuck (white) pixel and is still under the 1 year limited warranty, can/will Apple repair it if I go to an Apple Store?
I just discovered today that my MacBook has a "stuck" pixel. I read that the display has to have at least 5 dead/stuck pixels else Apple is not going to repair it, is it true? My warranty expires in 1 month so I can't really wait for 4 more pixels to die or get stuck.
Temporary fix:
I know that this is something I can't really repair myself, but I tried some things such as changing the display resolution to it's "Full" 2880x1800 resolution and It actually reduced the size of the stuck pixel.
Thank You,

I have a bright white screen when turning on my ipod nano 7th gen. Have tried resetting etc etc. Any further ideas?

I have a bright white screen when turning on my nano 7th gen. Have tried resetting and restoring settings - no change. Any ideas please?

Hello pipworms,
I would be concerned too if my iPod nano's was just showing a white screen. I recommend following the steps below:
Display shows a white screen
Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
Reset the device (Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds).
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.
While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
I got this information from the following article for the 6th generation iPod nano. The steps are the same, except I updated the reset steps with the reset for the 7th generation iPod nano:

Oracle forms display bright white flash when transitioning between forms.

We recently migrated an application from Oracle Application Server to WebLogic and we are noticing that in the WebLogic environment while transitioning between forms there is a quick bright white flash that has caused several complaints. We are not sure if this is related to a performance issue which may be preventing the form from painting quick enough or if there is a configuration problem somewhere. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
We are running WebLogic Server Version 10.3, Fusion Middleware 11gR1, and Oracle DB 11.2

Unfortunately we don't have any errors to work off of. The application works fine, it's just that their is a very short delay when transitioning from one form to another and during that transition the whole form turns bright white which has caused users to complain that it could cause an epileptic seizure. I assumed maybe there was some performance tuning/caching that could be done to make it so it loaded quicker. Our DBA team recieved a response from Oracle support stating that although the forms themselves are relatively unchanged, due to the underlying software changes in 11g we are to expect some differences compared to previous versions. We have since set background in formsweb.cfg to use a light grey image which seems to be more acceptable for our users.

Mountain lion really bright white screen on boot?

Since I installed Mountain Lion I can't seem to get rid of the really bright white screen with Apple logo at bootup.
I RESET the PRAM and it will work for one boot and then go back to the really bright screen burning my irises out.
It can't be the battery because my computer keeps the time and date correctly.
I have also checked the STARTUP Disc and that is working right too. I even tried redoing permissions through Disk Utility and that didn't help.
Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks.

Anyone have a answer to this?

Get rid of bright white background on web pages

I need to change the background color behind text to something other than bright white to lessen the eye strain I'm experiencing. Although I can change the color in Windows 7, when I'm online web pages still have that white background, and for older eyes this is a problem.

You could try Options>Content>Fonts and Colors>Colors>Background.
Play around with this for a while. There aren't many suitable colors but I use a creamy white for blank pages. You can check or uncheck "Allow pages to use their own colors . . ."

Hello:
I suggest you take it in for diagnosis/service. The problem would appear to be hardware.

Monitor displaying bright white message when it is about to enter power saving.

Is there a way to disable the bright white "monitor is about to sleep" on the Paviliion 23x1?
It's blinding at night. If there's no way to do this the screen is going to be given away or put in the bin given that it was only £100 or so. The iritation is far not worth it.
If there isn't a way then all I can say is it is designed by idiots.

Wausau Bright White 65 lb paper - What setting for best quality on a D7560

Have just purchased a D7560. Have thousands of sheets of Wausau Bright White Paper that I print note cards on.
Want to know the best "paper setting" to use to get the brightest printing possible.
While it is printing ok now, the colors seem to me to be on the dull side.
I am allowing the printer to set the printer settings and the photos come from Photoshop CS4
Should I also change the printing profiles to improve the print quality?
Thanks, Bc.

Bright white Screen on 30GB IPOD

I bought a 30GB IPOD about three months ago. I was carrying the IPOD in my pocket with a radio tuner attached to it. I wasn't using the thing. I didn't run or even sit on it. It was in my pocket for about 5 minutes. When I took it out the screen was bright white. That's it, nothing else on it. I hooked it up to the computer. It doesn't even recognise it. The controls don't do any thing either. Anyone got any ideas?
Dell Windows XP

wait til the batteries run out. then connect it back to your comp.
Or try the 5 R's
1. Reset your iPod.
2. Retry with a different USB port.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Reinstall iPod and iTunes software.
5. Restore your iPod.
i'd go for the first option though
