Dead pixel in my screen? What will apple do?

It seems that I have a dead pixel in my screen. I have a keen eye for them as I have had to replace 2 LCD tv's because of this. Even though it is'nt a huge deal I would like it fixed. Any idea on how apple will handle this? Just replace the phone I'm assuming. Anyone have this problem also? What was the outcome?

So in other words what your saying is, there is a standard for how much your screen has to "not work" for them to care? And I read the pixel anomalies article by apple and it seems like a pretty BS way of getting out of replacing a phone. I talked to my buddy who is a TV salesman and he said it is rare to have this happen with TV's and when it does they replace them. Seems like apple should do the same. Hopefully I can get the issue resolved because this is
not the only problem. When I am in the recent/contacts section my screen doesnt work or jumps around (doesnt select where I put my finger, goes random).

    So, we're the "stupid ios users" yet you are the one posting a link to something that simply says what we all said here?
    "Starting May 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built for iOS devices with Retina display and iPhone apps must also support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5. Learn about preparing your apps by reviewing the iOS"
    What part of that statement in your link do you not get?  App developers will or will not make those changes, not Apple.  It is entirely possible some apps will never get updated for retina, as their developers will drop those products and move on to new ones.  Yes, Apple may set certain minimum standards and requirements for inclusion of anyone's app in their storefront (as I already said), but it is entirely up to the developers to actually implement those changes.  Complaining on an Apple forum that a particular developer chose not to is pointless and a waste of everyone's time.

  • Dead Pixel , or uneven screen brightness test

    Hello
    I will get my new Imac monday.
    Could you please tell me how can I check the screen for dead pixels or uneven screen brightness issues?
    Thank you fpor your help
    Please when you explain, take in consideration that I never used a mac before,
    I am a switcher
    Many thx

    Normally you will see any stuck (colored) or dead (black) pixels right from the get go. Many times stuck pixels will unstick over time or by running pixel fixers.
    example: http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php
    In the unlikely event that you have any dead pixels, contact Apple, your local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider there really good about making things right.
    All computer displays will exhibit some sort of unevenness and or back light leakage, but most folks don't notice or worry about it. Unevenness can be seen using a solid light gray or light blue back ground and backlight leakage can be checked using a black screen.
    +Just slap up your favorite photo's or wallpapers on the desktop and move on.+

  • What will Apple do if my iPod Touch 4g crashed while updating to iOS 6?

    Yesterday while trying to update my iPod touch 4g to iOS 6, it just suddenly shut down mid-way (on a charger). When I tried turning it back on, it would pull up the battery screen indicating that the battery is low, so I would plug it in the charger again. Although after its charged a bit, it would pull up the Apple logo and then go to a (teal) blue screen and I cannot do anything else. When plugged into a computer, my laptop can't even recognize my iPod touch. I've tried draining the battery out all of the way, then charging it up again and it won't work. My iPod touch isn't jailbroken either, and there was 2.4GB free space like indicated during the update. I'm wondering what will Apple do if I would bring it to the store?
    I'm really upset because I just barely bought this about two months ago when I broke the screen on my other iPod touch

    try putting it in DFU mode
    watch this vid

    if this doesnt work take it in and explain. as long as its not jail broken, apple should fix it

  • HT1391 Recently my iPod touch 4th gen. was stolen. I have had it for two years, so I don't have a warranty on it anymore. I reported it to the police, but what will apple do? This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one.

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

    Nothing... why would they do anything?
    Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.

  • What will Apple do after they do not support iPhoto?  Will photo stream be eliminated?  I will no longer be able to use aperture, so have signed on with LR & PS.

    What will Apple do after they do not support iPhoto?  Will photo stream be eliminated?  I will no longer be able to use aperture, so have signed on with LR & PS.

    Just because Apple will no longer support IPhoto or Aperture doesn't mean that the versions that are still out there still won't work, function or still do what it is designed to do.
    I do not like all of this offsite, Cloud service storage, anyways. I rather have easy, trouble free access to all of my data locally.
    I am still planning on using the current versions of IPhoto and Aperture as I am not moving any time soon to Yosemite or any newer OS versions based on it. I still use a lot of legacy software that I simply can't afford to upgrade any farther.
    Plus, I use other photo book sites other than Apple's own service, anyways, because these other services offer more products and are far more flexible than Apple's own print services.

  • HT1688 How do I report stolen iPhone and what will Apple do about this?

    What will Apple do if someone else connects to iTunes with a stolen iPhone

    "iTunes is a service too."
    itunes is an online store.  You would have them deny service?  Really?  This would be an invitation to countless problems.
    as for cars registration gets checked when
    1. stopped by police
    2. when getting inspection sticker."
    1)  If a thief is caught and they haave an ipod, they will check to see if the serial number is reported stolen ( to the police - not APPLE).  You should report therft ot the police not the make of each iten that is stolen.
    2) You think we should have to have anual inpections for out ipods/iphones?  Really?
    None of this is done through Ford, Checy or any other car maker.
    Unless you are advocating licensing and registering your iphone with the govenrment, then you are not comparing like issues at all.

  • What will Apple charge me to replace hard drive?

    My iMac hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced (according to Disk Utility). What will Apple charge me to replace hard drive or should I just do it myself? Purchased new in mid-2010 and I do not have AppleCare. I've seen videos on replacing the hard drive and it seems a bit tricky. Any advice?

    Thanks for the response and suggestion. I will give them a call once I get ho,e and have my serial number etc on hand. If anyone has done this, please post what you were charged. Thanks!

  • I have a dead pixel in my screen of my iPad 2 what should I do? The device is 5 days old.

    Please help me I bought the iPad 2, 5 days ago and when it has a dead pixel and it is more intense when it warms up a bit what should I do?????

    Should I ask for a replacement???
    You can always ask for a replacement, but this does not mean that you'll actually get one.
    Also, there is no guarantee that your new iPad will be free of faulty pixels.
    Any display, no matter from which manufacturer, can have or develop faulty pixels.

  • 3 Dead Pixels after Blue Screen crash, should I make another Genius Bar appointment?

    Ok, so yesterday I made a GB appointment, after a friend told me to, when I showed him that I had a dead pixel on my phone's screen. So when I got to apple, I showed them the dead pixel and they told me they were going to replace the screen on the phone. It turned out that the machine they use to do so, was down, so they ended up giving me a replacement phone. So I checked it out at the store and it looked fine. So now today, while running some errands, my new replacement iPhone had crashed and turned blue, then rebooted on me & a few moments after when I got back on the phone and was imessaging, I noticed 3 dead pixels instantly (one on right under the names of the contact on the message, on the J key on the board and to the middle-right where your send messages are displayed)
    Now I'm thinking that, because my originally iPhone had crashed and turned blue also and I noticed the one dead pixel on it that same day, that the blue screen crashing could possibly be causing this??
    Should I go back to the apple store and tell them what happened?

    (Update) the pixels actually all seem to be red, whenever I go on a yellow screen and I just noticed a fourth one.    I think I should take my phone in

  • Got a "Dead" Pixel on my Ipad, How is Apple with these sorts of things?

    Okay, I have noticed I have a dead pixel, its more of a bright spot on my screen, Larger then a pixel, its a small area, where its brighter then the rest of the image, on white backgrounds its really noticeable, like when reading a book. How is Apple with Exchanging it with a new one? I bought mine at Best Buy btw.

    This is Apple's policy on computer displays. They may be the similar on the iPad. I would get it looked at. They may just exchange it, seeing you just got it.

  • 1 dead pixel on the screen

    I seem to have a dead or stuck pixel on the screen. How do I know if its dead, or if its stuck? Do dead pixels look different from stuck pixels?
    Im not to bothered about it as I can hardly see it and I struggle to see it, but it is slightly annoying that you know its there. It looks turquoise colour, but when I put some black over it on the screen, you cant see it.
    Also, I have downloaded the stuck pixel fixer and run it for about 20 minutes, and it doesnt seemed to have done anything.
    Does anyone suggest what to do? Also, does apple have a pixel policy? Like I said im not to bothered by it, but when you know its there it can get a bit annoying. I have to really look for it to see it though.

    Yes thats what I was thinking. Like I said im not to bothered about it and I can hardly see it, but might give them a call and see what they say. Its not acually to bad. I have dead pixels on other things before and they have been much worse. It must be because of the resolution of the screen or something.
    I have to say, the one thing I hate the most and is the most annoying thing out of all technology for me is a dead pixel, esspecially when its right in the middle of the screen. This one is just at the top where the program menu bar is, so its not to obvious. Infact, its probably the best place it could have happend really, if it were to happen at all.

  • 1 dead pixel on Iphone6 screen

    Hi all, I  picked up my iphone 6 from New Zealand Apple web store this Monday and noticed one dead pixel located near top of the screen. While it isn't instantly obvious, it shows up on white backgrounds and you'll probably have to hunt a little to pick it up. Would I be able to exchange my phone for a new one or is this problem too insignificant?
    As picture shows you.Very obvious here!

  • Dead pixels or scratched screen?

    I just bought a video ipod about a week ago. After 3 days of listening to music I watched the first video and noticed that there was a patch of pixels on the screen that looked discolored, almost like what it would look like if there was water on the screen. It's really distracting when I'm trying to watch a video. I thought they could be dead pixels, but when I tried to exchange it at Best Buy, they wouldn't take it because they said the discoloration was due to the small scraches on the screen. I knew that the screen had gotten a little scratched, but I didn't think it would distort the picture that much!
    Am I wrong? I would hate to think that my $300 ipod could be affected by tiny scratches that much. Is it possible to have the plastic front replaced?

    but when
    I tried to exchange it at Best Buy, they wouldn't
    take it because they said the discoloration was due
    to the small scraches on the screen. I knew that the
    screen had gotten a little scratched, but I didn't
    think it would distort the picture that much!
    It wouldn't. A few surface scratches - which are actually on the case, not on the screen itself - don't cause that amount (or even that sort) of distortion; you'd have to smash the front of it with your fist or sit on it to cause that kind of damage.
    Best Buy is notorious for trying to prevent customers from making legitimate returns. How did you pay for the iPod, cash or credit card? If you used cash, you're probably at the mercy of Best Buy, but if you used a card, just call the number on the back of the card, tell them you were sold a defective product, the seller won't let you return it, and you want to file a complaint. The customer service rep will explain the details to you; you'll have to print out a form, fill it out and snail mail it in to the credit card company, but it's worth it. (Do this soon; by law you only have 60 days to file such a complaint.) The credit card company will investigate, and if they determine Best Buy sold you a defective product, you don't have to pay for it. That sort of leverage, once you take advantage of it, usually leads to the retailing caving in to the consumer rather quickly.
    Even if you did pay cash, you should go back to BB anyway, ask to speak to the top manager, and demand a replacement or refund. Be polite, but be firm, and keep asking for higher and higher supervisors until you get what you want.
    By the way, in the future, admit to nothing whenever you need to return any product anywhere. I'm not saying that if you spill a beer down the back of your brand new TV that you should try to take it back and lie about the obvious cause of the malfunction. But if you put a minor scratch on something that has nothing to do with the problem you discover soon afterwards (as is likely the case with your new iPod), then take it back and if questioned, say "it was like that right out of the box" and stick to it. As long as we live in a world where employees at places like Best Buy are under orders to do everything possible to stop legitimate returns, you're under no moral obligation to hand them a ready-made excuse to refuse to take the item back.

  • Line of "dead pixels" on the screen that come and go.

    I just did a clean erase and install, i'm using leopard with all the current updates. i noticed the system was leaving lines on the screen before the fresh install so i figured it was a software problem. well, after doing a clean install they are back. its like the video isn't processing correctly or something because i can put another window on top of the "dead pixels" and it covers them up, like the in this picture. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/2442796153fb66961090o.png
    the finder window is covering an inch or so over the dead pixels. and to clarify the line of dead pixels or what ever they are appear to associate with a certain window or app and show up at different parts of the screen. for instance, if i see the lines in firefox, i can minimize the window and the line is gone.
    this is on a 24inch white imac with the 2.16 c2d.
    any ideas what would make this happen?

    There are quite a few posts about this sort of thing.
    Many peopel find some minutes to hours after the lines of pixels the Mac freezes - mouse still moves but you can't do anything.
    It's not clear if it's software or hardware.
    My suspicion is that it's a software problem but I may be wrong. Either graphics memory or RAM used for buffering is faulty, or something is inadvertently writing garbage to graphics memory.
    Most people attribute the issue to Leopard, but I'm still running Tiger.
    Lots of posts about it being an nVidia card driver issue, but I'm running ATI.
    Maybe coincidence but my 20" late 2006 iMac started playing up after a security update earlier this year.
    Some people have had graphics cards replaced and it's cured it, pointing at hardware.
    Another thing that seems to help is upping default fan speed using say smcFanControl.
    Two things that have made this less frequent for me are:
    - turning off Genie effect in Sytem Prefeerences for minimising/maximising windows (I often got freezes when changing windows)
    - running smcFanControl
    There is some debate as to whether or not for some reason the fans are not speeding up properly (software/EFI or SMC problem?) in response to higher temps and hence components are becoming unstable.
    Try some searches on 'glitches' or 'freezing' or browse through the last couple of weeks threads.
    If your machine is under warranty I'd be phoning Apple. Mine alas is not.
