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.

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 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.

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 Pixel on my Brand New iPad Air

Just unwrapped my new iPad Air and immediately saw a straight line of dead pixels across the screen. How dissapointing and annoying. What should I do? Bought it online on Nov 4th thorugh Apple Store Singapore. Please help.

These things happen, even to Apple. Contact Apple Support for a replacement. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Dead pixel on my new iPad Air

I bought a new iPad air today and I use about 20minutes I found a very dead pixel on the right bottom screen. How disappoint that I saw this thing on my screen

Take it back to the place of purchase or to the Apple Store for a replacement. You have a 14 day return policy (return for refund) in the USA (at least). Take advantage of that policy to get one with a screen that you are happy with.

Dead pixels and dust under screen of 4 new iPads

I own 2 iPhones and finally decided to buy an iPad, actually 2, one for myself and one for my fiancé. On launch night we purchased a 16gb black wifi model at our local Walmart. After about and hour so, we noticed the screen had 2 dead pixels. So we returned it for a refund and went to our local BestBuy today and purchased two black 16gb wifi models. They both had dead pixels or dust under the screen. So we returned to BestBuy and showed it to multiple employees and the store manager. While on my way back to the store I called the Apple support number to report the issue. The Apple guy said it was probably a bad batch.
We ended up getting 2 16gb white models. I am using one now to type this message. It's screen is flawless. Unfortunately, the other white iPad has two dead pixels. So I am returning to BestBuy in the morning to exchange the white one for another.
I didn't think it was possible to have this much bad luck with a product. I am still a huge Apple fan and will continue to purchase Apple products. It must be Samsung's quality control. At least I have one flawless iPad. If I have to pay $200 extra to get a flawless 64GB model I will.
Anyone else have any issues with the screen on the new iPad?

Well I had an issue as well with the New iPad screen. The first had dust under the screen took it back upgraded to a Verizon model at an apple store. I made the mistake not checking it before I drove 50 miles back home. Got home same issue!!! Now i was off to apple store again to have it replaced which they did. This time I opened it in the store sure enough another one with dust or dead pixels on the screen. It was very clear on a white background. They swapped it again now this is my fourth New iPad checked it out again and it was 100 percent perfect for now which it should be NEW.

Dead pixel on my new ipad 4

Hi, I have brought ipad 4th generation on December and after a month I started to noticed a dead pixel on left bottom side of the screen. Quite distracted by it :(. Help?

You are still well within your one year warranty, so take it in and ask about it. If it is a single pixel, they may still replace it depending on just where on the screen the pixel is.
If it is really clearly noticeable, odds are it is actually not one pixel, but several in a cluster, making a replacement even more likely. Note too that a truly "dead" pixel would be a black area. If the pixel(s) are stuck on white, red, green or blue, they are stuck pixels, not really dead (as they do light up). Sometimes, you can get lucky and just sort-of massage the screen around the stuck pixels with slightly harder then normal touch pressure and they may return to normal (however, that fix, even when it works which is rarer these days with thick rigid glass displays, often is only temporary and they get stuck again later).
Take it in to Apple and show them, let them tell you what they can do for you.

Dead pixel on the new iPad.

My iPad 3rd gen has a dead pixel.
I want to know can i fixe this problem or not?

Unfortunately i don't have access to any apple store in the world! because of location and politic problems...
I'll try some 8 hrs videos for solving this.

My new iPad has a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Can I get it replaced?

I've heard that there is a minimum number of dead pixels before apple will replace it. Very frustrating because otherwise the screen is perfect, and it's one of those things you can't stop looking at. What can I do? I don't live near an apple store so I fear that shipping it away is the only option.
Any help is appreciated!

Given that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever.

I have the same case with you an iPad Air in dead pixel or speckle silver dust on screen. It is been 3 months I bought in Avant Abenson in Greenbelt Makati Philippines. Today I decided to change my screen protector film but the speckle dust on the screen

Speckles dust on the screen and it cannot be removed today when I decided to change the screen protector film and noticed is not my fault it is a factory defect on screen it is either dead pixel or speckle dust on screen they are so many said and experience I have read. So I need the replacement a new one for that dismayed screen on my iPad Air. I bought this 3 months ago in Avant Abenson at Greenbelt Makati Philippines. I need the replacement for tomorrow I will go to the store I bought. I love apple products but they need to replace and make go round to improve some defects and cannot be more escalate with this issue of the many of patronizing your products. It is sometimes irritating to the eyes and seen dirt on the screen. Thank you apple customer service to bringing up my complaints and a replacement for tomorrow's to inform the store I bought and advise them here in the Philippines to facilitate in regards to this matter.

I wanted to buy an ipad air to replace my ipad 2 but the one I wanted was (luckily) sold out.
Yesterday I tested the air from a collegue and I noticed the screen was SUBSTANTIALLY less sensitive than the screen of my ipad 2 when using my stylus.
I use Stylus R US especially for I annotate and with the air this did not work well at all... Half of the time there was no contact registered so underying certain parts of the text was a disaster...
Just working with the finger all whent OK... Just fear that another app I use a lot (notes +) will have same problem.
On the Ipad 4 also retina all goes *** smooth as on my ipad 2...
Is this a fault of a specific ipad air series? Or is this normal?? If it is I think this is truelly a huge flaw and I cannot see how not manny people using the ipad for notetaking etc did not notice this...

Dead pixel in my iPad

I was grievously disappointed to discover a dead pixel near the center of the screen in my iPad yesterday just before leaving to the U.S. from Japan.
Almost everything I have ever gotten from Apple has had a defect like this and I've had to fight fight fight to get it fixed each time.
But... I decided to see if I could get it replaced while here in the U.S.
So I made an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store at the Chestnut Hill Mall here in Boston and brought the iPad over at 2 pm.
The guy at the Bar was nice, saw the broken pixel and immediately said he'd swap it for a new one for me! So I was very pleasantly surprised and glad about that.
Then the new swapped one ALSO had a broken pixel - almost in the exact same area!!!
So he sort of sighed, but did a 2nd swap out for a 3rd iPad. This time we looked and looked (while impatient people were backed up to get help) and couldn't find a single broken pixel.
So fortunately this problem was resolved very nicely by Apple and I'm good to go. Using a 2 GB AT&T contract with an AT&T SIM card while I'm in the U.S.
I'm surprised that two iPads in a row had a broken pixel, and almost in the same area. But I was really pleased at the friendly, reassuring service I got at the Genius Bar.

Yes, extraordinary bad luck.
While I haven't had problems with my desktop Macs (iMacs) or my iPhone 3G, every other mobile/portable device I ever bought from Apple, going back 20 years, has had something go wrong with it, usually from the start, often multiple times. Examples:
- Duo: the screen had multiple broken pixels and needed to be replaced from the start.
- iBook: the wireless card (then an option) was set improperly and wasn't working. Needed to be sent back for repair.
- PowerBook G4: broken pixels needing replacement from the start, keyboard problems requiring top case and kb replacement. Also, that model had a really poorly designed cover that never closed properly (the famous wiggling cover problem.)
- MacBook Pro: Failure 2 times in 3 years of my trackpad requiring replacement; broken pixels requiring replacement; hard disk failure requiring replacement. Two replacements of mother board! The last one 2 months after my AppleCare warranty ran out, but Apple fixed it anyway. Keyboard needing replacement. I'm using it right now on my trip to the U.S. and it's still working after almost 4 years, but it definitely has taken advantage of the AppleCare warranty multiple times. And I'm not a rough user - I almost never take it off my desk, except on travel.
- iPod nano: Don't even get me started on that one. The screen was tilted (big discussion thread here) - they sent me 3 replacements, one worse than the other. I finally had to go to the Japan consumer affairs agency to force Apple to give me a refund. Which they finally did, with an apology and a gift certificate to use at the online store.
- iPad: broken pixel needing replacement, followed by a 2nd iPad with another broken pixel needing immediate replacement.
This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.
Unless I am unusually unlucky, my own sampling over the years tells me that while Apple support is great and they take care of the problems after the fact, they definitely have quality issues coming out of the factory to begin with.
I always have to "mentally prepare myself" before buying an Apple product because I know I am very likely going to have to invest a certain amount of time in dealing with Apple support and getting things fixed afterwards. Eventually it turns out ok each time, but just knowing I will have to deal with it is stressful.

IPad 2, 64MB 3G w/ Dead Pixel

I stood in line for over 4 hours today for my iPad 2 (64MB, 3G, AT&T) and after I boot up it up the first thing right in the dead center of the screen -- a dead pixel.
FML.
Anyone else with this problem. I'm going to attempt to take it back tomorrow. I didn't wait over a year and over $1,000 to have a dead pixel on my new iPad 2.

Anyone who says a genius may be able to fix a dead pixel is an idiot. A dead pixel can't be fixed, without replacing the LCD. A stuck pixel is possible, but I've never, not once seen a pixel be fixed.
That being said- I spotted a tiny black spot on mine. Not sure if it is dust under the screen or a dead pixel- either way my eye seems to jump to it when the area is blank.
Apparently the stores get a bunch of models in that aren't available for sale, but for situations like this. They can swap out no problem. If you want a retail swap- you've gotta wait for a model like yours to come in- which for me may mean a while since I have a job and can't get to the mall at 8am and wait in a line every day for their newest shipment.
