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.

Meanwhile, here's Apple's official position:

HT4044 Dead pixel on iPad 4

I bought an iPad 4 a few days ago, and it has what I think is a dead pixel (a permanent dark grey dot). Is there anything I can do about this?

If that bothers you, go to the Apple Store and let the genius know about it. Maybe they will replace your iPad. Make a backup and an appointment before you go.

Dead pixel new ipad

I have a dead pixel on new iPad. Will I get it replaced as I keep looking at it!

Yeah I had the same problem..swap it back with in the 14 day you bought it..I had to replace mine with 3 dead pixels now I have 2 on my replacement and now I have yellowing tint screen problems..it's my 2nd time returning it so I'm just going to get my money back and wait a month till I get it again hope apple fixes this..I'll stick with my iPad 2 for a while..

All of a sudden tons of stuck and dead pixels on Retina display!

My MacBook Pro Retina is just about a year old. When the computer was only a few months old I had the display replace due to stuck pixels.
Now it's a year old (just 2 weeks out of warranty!) and all of a sudden there are a TON of stuck and dead pixels.
I mean A LOT: about 30 - 40 stuck pixels (all of them seem to be blue or white, I can't really tell), and maybe about 20 - 30 dead pixels. They are harder for me to see. The stuck pixels make the screen almost unusable though.
About a week ago I noticed one giant stuck pixel (probably a cluster of 4) but now, all of a sudden they are speckled all over the screen (but mostly in the same area where I found the first one.
Is my display just dying on me?
Is Apple going to make me pay for a new retina display (it's 15"). How much will that cost??
The display shouldn't die like this so soon, especially since it is already a relatively new screen (replaced once already).

I would go to Apple and ask nicely since it is only 2 weeks out of warranty and was already replaced once.

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.

I got a damaged iphone today :( after apple sent me an ipad with dead pixel

Great,
first apple sent me an ipad with dead pixel and misbehaving display and now they are sending me this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schipplock/4880028188/sizes/l/in/photostream/
Would you send it back?
Dear god, give me any reason why I ever should consider buying apple hardware again if quality management is so bad...I mean I spotted it in two or perhaps three seconds after unboxing it.
What makes me angry now is that this microsim card now doesn't fit into my old phone so when Apple wants to send me another iphone it takes ages (again!)...and I'm without a phone...great :!
Apple oh Apple :/.

I don't know if you can do it at an Apple store. But AT&T will let you order the iPhone 4 and still keep what you have until the new phone arrives.

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.

Sad iPad 2 Story (Dead Pixel + Bad Case)

Guys,
I want to share this experience so that you may not end up like me. I will try to shorten the story, please bear with me.
Just last 10/25, my iPad 2 arrived, I knew that it had arrived because I was informed via sms by my mother who received the unit. (Delivered to the house).
Excited, I bought this case (http://capdase.com/minisite/ipad/en/...28&c3=28&id=96), and when I got home, with utmost care, after removing the plastic, I immediately placed the screen protector then insert the iPad in the case.
The next morning, I find my iPad screen a bit warmer in color... I noticed it immediately given the number of iPads I have used at the office, friends and actually this is our second iPad 2.
After a few days, I now noticed a dead pixel, long story short, I investigated, tested, and I believe I now have a dead red "sub-pixel". This is less than a week in use.
I emailed the store where I got this (from a promo) and I reported the screen to be a bit warmer (yellowish) and the dead sub pixel, they told me to bring the unit over so I did.
They have confirmed a dead red sub-pixel (based on wikipedia and apple) after I demonstrated that a pixel is "black" on red (wallpaper) and not on blue and green. (FYI LCD's are RGB's). They told me a replacement will be ordered in a week's time. I was so happy, because I can't stand a dead subpixel that is on the middle of the screen.
Today was the 7th day and the same day where I supposedly to surrender my defective unit, to my shock, surprise, they told me the unit have dents! I can't believe what I am hearing! The iPad never left the case from the day it went in there!
For illustration purposes, this is where they saw two (2) dents.
(approximate location)
Because of the dents, they did not replace my unit, I have no choice but to surrender the iPad so that their main office will decide if this is still fit for replacement. OR just live with it (dead pixel) which is not also a choice for me.
My question is on what occasion did my iPad got the dents... obviously the Capdase case did not do its job. Or I was sold a dead pixel dented iPad 2.
If you are planning to buy this case, DO NOT BUY IT!!! If you have this case already, sell it! Buy a new one! Preferably cases which protects the entire border.
I went home today iPad-less. Sad, frustrated, unknown what will be the fate on Monday next week, the day they will tell me congratulations, you will get a new iPad or, Sorry, we cannot accept your dead pixel ed dented iPad 2.
All this drama, in just 2 weeks and 2 days.
I hope they will still replace it next week

I don't know if there will be any iPad repair DIY gurus on this discussion site a but in case you get no other responses, you might be able to find some help here.

Dead pixel on my new iPod Touch 5th Generation. Can I get a replacement?

Today I bought an iPod Touch 16GB Silver. I activated it and after maybe half an hour, I noticed a single dead pixel in the upper left part of the display. I know that with iPhones there's a policy that 1 dead pixel, replacement. iPads have a 3 dead pixels - replacement policy. So I am not sure what is the case with iPods. Here are photos for the proof:

You would need to ask an Apple employee to get a definitive answer.

Dead Pixels - Replacement. How long?

Hi,
I've just received my shipping label for sending my beautiful MacBook Pro in for complete replacement (not repair) due to a growing number of dead pixels on my display.
When I first noticed it, there were about 6-8 contiguous dead pixels in the lower right corner of my screen and now there are probably 60-70 in the same spot.
Anyway, back on topic, how long should I expect to wait until I get my replacement MacBook once I ship this one off? What are your experiences with sending any Apple in for replacement?
Thanks,
Aaron
P.S. I've already called Apple and confirmed that I am not just put back into the queue will all the new purchases.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5) Custom PC running Gentoo

I have a Titanium G4 that had the screen go almost dead after I bought it. Apple replaced the screen and I had it back, good as new, within a week. I believe that screen is the same, or very similar to, the one on the new MacBook's. THAT is the main reason I ordered a new MacBook Pro last Saturday from the Apple Store. Apple's customer service is great, they make high quality hardware and software, and they stand behind them. To se sure, you pay a bit more for it and (I am an engineer and software developer) the development tools are sometimes a bit "hoaky", but it's worth it.

A Dead Pixel After Just 1 Month

I bought my 24" Aluminum iMac a few days after the release of Leopard from my local AAFES (military exchange service). The unit I purchases was a return, but they gave me a 20% discount. There was no way I could possibly turn that offer down. When I got the unit home, all was in order except for a couple white dots at the very bottom right of the display. I was immediately turned off, but my folks talked me into keeping it and having it fixed later. I opted out of the AAFES warranty instead to buy an Apple Care Plan for the iMac at a later time.
Anywho, just the other day, I noticed a dead pixel on the display. It doesn't affect much, but I'm starting to grow tired of these little problems.
After reading a few discussions online, I'm worried Apple will not fix the display issue. Does anyone have some advice?

I have the same problem. I bought a 20in iMac (brand new) and noticed a dead pixel about a month later. I'll try the iTunes visualizer trick. The pixel is right near the center of the screen, so it's hard to avoid noticing it. This is especially sad to see in Apple's displays, which are otherwise remarkable.

So I just got my iPhone 5s and there appears to be a dead pixel on the top of the screen. Is there anything that could be done?

I was curious If anything could be done about a dead pixel on the top of my iPhone 5s screen? And I bought the phone directly from ATT if that makes a difference.

Take the iPhone back to ATT and show them the dead pixel on the display and get the iPhone replaced.

There truelly isnt any way to fix that problem unless you send it into apple or get a third party to service your ipod. First, just make sure taht the ipod truelly has a dead pixil.
Restart your ipod (hold middle button and menu button till it goes blank) Then IMMEDIETLY hold the middle button and the previous arrow button. this will bring you into diagnostic mode. Press menu to go into manual test and select IO from the menu button. From there select display. Proceed to select color. What this will do is test the three colors that make up a triad. which are blue red and green. It will also do different shades and so forth of the color. If you notice that the pixel is only dead in one color then you might want to just try restoring your ipod to factory defults. This probably wont solve the problem, but it is worth a shot. If the pixel is completely dead in all three colors, then you do have dead pixels. The only way to fix that problem is have it serviced.
Apple should take the ipod no matter what. If you ahve the warrenty. Just call them up and say you have dead pixels on the display of your ipod. THey should repair it without cost that is if you have it under apple care plan.
Hope this helps..

International Warrant/Service, Dead Pixels

My Macbook Pro, purchased in the United States in DEC 07, has got dead pixels.
The display would probably need a replacement.
For service from an Apple Premium Dealer in India, will the normal Warranty suffice
Or would I need an AppleCare Protection Plan to avail the international service.
Please help..

*"The display would probably need a replacement."*
Not necessarily. That all depends on how many dead pixels there are. If there are just a few then you'll have to live with it, as with the millions of pixels on a screen a few bad ones are considered acceptable by industry standards.

There is a small white light in the retina display on my ipad 3. Is this a dead pixel/light leak and how do I fix it? (Located at the bottom left side between home button and left corner)

Maybe this will show up better in green.
