Dead pixel of Camera!

I have problem in camera mode as well as in video mode when zooming at the last stage even lil more theres a small dot in middle of the camera. when i take pics it doesn't show that dead pixel but in videos it do show. I tried to clean my cam's lens feeling that this should be a problem but its not the lens problem.
Is this a common problem? Can NSC or NSU cure this problem?
Please reply for my posts also! Thanks in advance.

hi,
sorry to hear that, but i dont think it is very common, and i dont think NSU can help at all if it is indeed a dead pixel...

Dead Pixel 920 Camera

I have a dead pixel. It is not a dead pixel on my screen, but in my camera. I have one dead (purplish/blue pixel) that I noticed on an accidental black picture that I took. Basically, if you cover the lens and make an all black photo, you can zoom in and scan the pic for dead pixels. I found one on accident and now it's just going to annoy me.
Is this covered under a warranty? Should my carrier replace it? It's a big deal to me, with as many pictures as I take, but I don't know if it will be as big of a deal to them.
I'll attach the photo with the dead pixel. See if you can find it!
EDIT: I uploaded a second picture, circling the pixel in red.
Solved!

Hello friend , I'm sorry to say that you'll have some time dealing with employees who's gonna try hard not to fix your problem ,
but Follow these steps and hopefully a new replacement phone shall be yours.
reset the phone and take a photo (if the problem is still there and it most likely would) you've got the argument that it's not software related so if they anyone said we're gonna fix it tell them it's not software and that you demand a non defective unit.
Now you call the store you bought it from and demand a replacement as your unit is defective , If they refused or gave you a hard time , Tweet about it to @Nokiacare , Politness is key for these type of things so try to be as calm and happy about it as possible , mention the fact that you switched from Apple and insist that you bought in the PureView brand, If the Store didn't respond to you NokiaCare locations can be found on this website and again you could ask them for a replacement , If for any reason you failed in all these steps .
feel free to write the complete story and tweet the hell of it (users will help you too )
I hope you get a new one , good night .

N82 "dead pixel" during camera mode only. Please h...

Hi,
when i activate my camera, a "dead pixel" is visible on the top area.
I have done the following checks,
1) Its not a LCD dead pixel because it happens only during cam mode.
2) Its not dust because the pictures taken do not have this.
Hence can someone please advise what is wrong? It bugs me.

I have it too, and it is a dead pixel on the camera CCD chip. You can identify it by following: It's only visible in photo mode, not video. When you zoom in photo mode, it moves on the screen, i.e. stays at the same place in the picture. The reason why it is visible on the screen is probably the interpolation, which makes it appear bigger than it truly is. Also, it's invisible on the resulting photos, as it gets lost in the noise. I have experimented a bit and have managed to only get one photo under very specific circumstances where I could see it on the photo when zooming closely in.

Hot / dead pixel elimination in later versions of Camera RAW

Hi!
I was wondering if we could get some under the hood info on how Camera RAW handles hot / dead pixels. The standard answer 'Camera RAW eliminates these automatically' does not apply I'm afraid. I've seen more and more of these stuck pixels in my final output over the last few CR versions. Now, it could be my camera showing its age, but I'd like to know more about how Camera RAW maps stuck pixels.
I've just re-developed a set of some stage performance from last year, Canon 5D Mark II, high ISO and pushed, yes, but thats my whole niche. There's stuck pixels in all of them in the same spots. So I wondered how camera raw handles the whole mapping / processing of hot pixels. The set of images are here, and there's access to full size images also: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvejerslev/sets/72157627732199199/ (I did clone out the stuck pixels on just a few of them though). It's a mix of processing version 2010 and 2012. Did not make a difference to the stuck pixels.

Well, the issue with higher ISO images is: what's a hot pixel vs. what's a result of salt & pepper noise–those are different artifacts...
When you start ramping up the ISO (and use PV 2010 or 2012 without luminance noise reduction) the likelyhood of random bright (more or less) pixels (or subgroups of pixels) goes up.
The hot pixel fix is still in LR/ACR...but it becomes a battle between what's a hot pixel vs what's a result of camera noise...and ACR/LR tend to be very conservative when it comes to mapping out a hot pixel (or dead or constantly a certain color pixel).
ACR/LR can really only estimate what constitutes a hot pixel because there's no way of recording the XY position of a single pixel and telling it how to handle the mapping. It's an auto thing and as such it's subject to sometimes not working perfectly...
To really determine the issue, one (or Eric) would need an actual raw file–not something that's already been processed and resample. The more examples of ACR/LR not doing an optimal result the better the likelyhood somebody will look at doing something about it.

19 dead pixels in Isight camera of new 27' imac i7

Hi there, I received my new Imac 27" i7 yesterday. I was very happy at first as I could not find any dead pixels however when I used my Isight camera I was very upset. I found a total of 19 dead + stuck pixels in the isight camera making it really unusable, I was shocked with this. How is it possible for there to be so many? Has anyone else checked their isight cameras? If you put a black cloth over it or if you are wearing a black top you will be able to see them much better. This is my first post so I'm sorry if I am taking over someone's thread.
I'm sorry I have posted the same post in several different topics but I could not work out how to post a question at first.
Apple said they are sending me a replacement but I am scared that it will have other problems now. But how can 19 pixels be possible is what baffles me?

I'm really upset guys, I got my replacement and I waited forever for it. Now it is even worse:
1. Isight has 16 dead/stuck pixels in it
2. Screen has several dead pixels
3. I have had a few issues with screen flickering/blackout
4. The computer is extremely slow compared to the first one even after the software update and the same things done to it, in particular Imovie is pretty much impossible to use now with the amount of lag.
5. Probably the worst as it is a physical defect: There is a tiny crack within the black glass border that I noticed straight away although it is small + The glass is not perfectly aligned so the silver chin sticks out on the left side.
Its going back, if next one is bad then I'm getting a refund for the time being. Oh and my first one was a week 46 and the replacement is a week 48 which was supposed to have resolved the issues...don't think so

ISight Camera Dead Pixels

When i placed the black cleaning cloth over the iMac 27" iSight Camera, i noticed only about 3 Dead pixels, and i wasn't too annoyed with that, but after using it more (i have only had the computer for 2 weeks) theres are becoming a larger number of messed up pixels. now i'm up to 8. does anyone know apple's policy on the number dead pixels before they do something about it?

X220 came back from depot with one dead pixel on new replaced panel

I bought my X220 on May, 2011. It was working great up until last month when suddenly several dead pixels(around 5) appeared on the IPS panel. They were dark dots scattered on the mid bottom part of the display, and were invisible only on dark images. I tried various stuck pixel fixing programs for several hours with not good result.
I called the support number for Canada, explained the issue and immediately got a call number and a box was on the way.
Yesterday I received the X220 back after a week and half, which is quite fast for what I expected the service time to be in Canada. When I turn on the machine I immediately notice some backlight bleed on the bottom on the screen given that the old one didn't have any. I thought it would not bother me since I could only see it if displaying dark backgrounds, which is rare for me once in Windows. But I also notice one dead pixel on the mid bottom right of the screen, and it looks darker and bigger than the ones in the old screen. Anytime I'm looking at anything bright colored I see it.
As of now, while I'm at work the X220 is running UDpixel at home to see if it gets fixed. I was wondering if Lenovo would grant me another repair call seeing that the dead pixel bothers me more than the ones in the old panel, although it is only one.

@pacho,
You can try taking a picture of the screen showing the backlight bleed and try contacting support and see if they can get it replace again. Do let them know your previous case number as well.
Lenovo dead pixel policy here.

However I am not sure if it applies to IPS panels.

Does my warranty cover the repair of dead pixels?

Hi everyone!
First time posting on these discussion boards and have a question regarding my MBP. I purchased this retina display 15 inch macbook pro last year in October and pretty much fell in love with it. This is my first time buying a mac product having previously been a windows user. I started noticing that a few of the pixels have died, showing no colour, standing out in white. It began with just one but now I have 5 small clusters showing quite noticeably. I do know that it came with a warranty and it's not even been a year yet, can I return this for repair? Any help would be appreciated!
Krishna

One: Buy AppleCare for your system before the one year mark. That extends the 1 year warranty to 3 and extends phone support to 3 years as well. But the "one year from purchase" deadline is rarely waived.
Two: Go to the Genius Bar and ask them. We are just users like you, and anything we say does not guarantee what Genius Bar will do. I have heard from other posters that apple has a minimum number dead pixels that are just considered "acceptable", but then my memory is even older than I am.
Good luck.

Dead pixel on brand new laptop

Hi,
I have just purchased a laptop HP pavilion g6 2229TU and discovered a dead pixel. From another thread on this forum, I came to know that I can get a 14 days replacement. However, I have purchased a plan for two years extended warranty that had to register the serial number - how is that still going to be valid?

Where did you buy it? If you have to take it back like to Best Buy they can just transfer the extended warranty to the replacement unit.

Problems with stuck/dead pixels, battery life, ICS, and other problems

Stuck/Dead Pixels:
I bought my Droid Razr at around the 21st of December last year. On or around Christmas, I found a bright red pixel on the very bottom of my screen. Unlucky for me, I was leaving for Florida on Christmas Night. I got back on December 31st. Sometime in the first week of this year, I visited my verizon store and told the customer service lady that I had a dead pixel on my screen and had just bought it. But, she told me that she needed the manager to fix this and there was no manager there. For the next week I was busy with school and sports etc and was not able to go back to the store. It was now past my 14 day return period. So I decided, its only one pixel, most people won't notice it anyway. So here I am 5 months later, just starting to discover more pixels dying on my screen. I now have the one bright red one, two light blue ones, and one dark red. I have no idea what the return policy is on defective phones, and the verizon site is designed so that you can't find anything. And an FYI, I have tried stuck pixel removers and other apps, which haven't been successful.
Battery Life:
I have also been finding more problems with my phone. The battery life is terrible when 4G and even 3G are on. I actually see no difference in battery consumption between 3G/4G. My battery dies about 4-5X faster when data is turned on, compared to using no data. I know it isn't because of the apps I installed since when I use WiFi, the battery is alright. I also make sure that my RAM isn't above 400MB, so that the processor doesn't use a lot of battery. I feel like I completely wasted my money buying the Razr. Mainly because of the fact that the Razr Maxx was announced two weeks later, which has about 80% more battery. Not only this, but I've seen the Razr selling for only ONE PENNY on amazon over the past month and it still is. I payed $300 on my Razr.
Ice Cream Sandwich:
After these major problems comes another one, that I bet all Razr and Razr Maxx customers are still thinking about. When will I get Ice Cream Sandwich? It is very disappointing when you are told that you will be getting an upgrade in early 2012, and are still wondering where your upgrade is 5 full months in. From what I understand, we won't see an upgrade until the end of June, since Motorola has posted on their website that "rollouts" would begin in the second quarter. Even if they release it by the end of June, when will it get to your phone? Maybe another week or two for some people. This is another thing that I feel I wasted my money on. My brother told me to get the Nexus because of ICS, but I trusted Motorola that they would upgrade my phone in a timely manner. WRONG.
Phone Freezing:
One more problem that I've had is that the phone will freeze. Usually you only need to turn the screen off and on, but once in a while, you have to completely reboot your phone. When I was coming back from Florida, right as I was about to get home, my phone completely froze. I was about to go return it, but after about 15-20 minutes, it became unfrozen.
Motion Sensor not functioning:
Another problem, an annoying one, is that sometimes the motion sensor that controls portrait and landscape mode will just stop working. Some of the games I play are completely dependent on the motion sensor. It is very embarrassing when you are trying to show off to an iPhone friend and major components of your phone aren't working. They always tell me "why didn't you get an iPhone?". And I really just wanted to have a phone that didn't look like everyone else's, but I guess that comes at a cost. When the motion sensor stops working, I have to shut down my phone and restart, which takes a couple minutes.
Problems with camera:
My last problem would be with the camera. Sometimes if you bring the camera close to something, like a barcode, it will keep trying to focus, but never will. Another problem is photo quality in low light situations. It seems like the camera can't focus because it goes from being very dark into being bright because of the flash. I doubt this can be fixed because it's hardware, but a potential fix could be having the option to keep the LED light on during picture mode, that way the camera will be able to focus correctly.
In Conclusion:
I really just want someone to tell me how to return my phone for a new one, due to the dead pixels. I also wish I could be upgraded to the Razr Maxx because of the poor battery life on the Razr, but from what other people are saying, that probably won't happen. And finally, if anyone has more info about Ice Cream Sandwich, that would be awesome.

Well since it's a Manufacturing Error it should Fall under your Warranty if you got one with your Razr. You know you can Call C.S. an they can Assist you with the Matter on it.. Just remember to have another phone so they can Trouble shoot the One that is Experiencing the Issue an when you talk to them go over thing. An they should send you C.G.A.N unless they request you to send it in before you get anther one. If you feel Better going to the Store try that. And Good Luck..

Dead Pixel on Macbook Pro 15' Retina

Hey there Apple community,
Recently I purchased a 15' Retina Macbook pro for $2,500 (AU). I have owned this Macbook for approximately 4 months, with no issues what-so-ever.
Until, 2 days ago I was working on a project (I am stuying Graphic Design.) when I zoomed into a black area in photoshop, to discover a little green dot near the centre of my screen. At first, I believed it was a peice of fluff so I cleaned my whole screen. With no success I finally came to the conclusion it was a dead pixel. Over the two days it has became progressively worse.
Unfortunately, when I bought my Macbook I did not purchase Apple Care. So my question to you is, if I take my Macbook into an Apple store will I be able to get it fixed/replaced as it is a manufactuerer fault?
Thanks for your time,
Charles.

As others have stated you have a standard 1 year warranty and do not at this time need Applecare extended warranty to get your Mac fixed for free.
Also you can still buy the Applecare extended warranty. You have the full standard oine year warranty period to do that. IE Buy the Applecare extended warranty.
I suggest you do it sooner then later as it also extends the normal 90 day phone support to the full 3 year period of the standard and extended warranty coverage.

24' Cinema Display with Dead Pixel

I just exchanged an LED Cinema Display under AppleCare for the blinking/cord problem. Got the new one set up and see that it has a dead pixel. Is there a fix for these, especially being brand new, or do I have to exchange this one too?
Running tests it is very visible on a black background, then blue, and slightly on a green background. Red and white backgrounds make it so that the pixel is not a visible problem.

When I chose my LED Display, I refused two monitors because of dead pixels (green pixels on full filled white background). All of them I tried to order in on-line shops.
When I found out that Apple use LG panels for the LED Display and I understood that I have to go to the off-line shop and choose the display by myselfl. I met 2 years ago with usual LG TFT displays on my work - they all had dead pixels. (IMHO, LG is not good).
I came to one shop and there were 2 Apple LED displays - one at the exposition and one in the storehouse. Of course I wanted new one from storehouse and let manager know beforehand about not going to buy if dead pixels. He brought up the display from storehouse, unpacked, plugged and I personally start to check. I changed the background to whole white and pointed into two green pixels. "***", - I said to the manager - couldn't believe that the display costs crazy money (in Ukraine - $1400-1500) and everyone with dead pixels!
I also have 20" NEC display with perfect IPS panel that I bought 3 years ago for $800. And I should leave the buying of the Apple LED Display and back to my favourite and proven NEC it could be the right decision as you'll see below .
But the manager offer me to check the exhibition example - he assured me that exhibition one is also absolutely new and stood only 5 days in the shop. We plug it, set the background to white and ... "O, miracle! No dead pixels! After three checked displays! Can't belive!" - and this one was really total perfect.
So I forgot about to buy new NEC instead of Apple display. Brought Apple LED Display to home, connected to my brand new MBP 13, compared to my old NEC - everythnig was perfect, colors and overall picture are better than old NEC.
I was happy ... BUT JUST FOR ONE WEEK! It started to blink/flash/blackout - this is the known problem as I found out later: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1902288&tstart=0
I'm very disappointed because I realize that if I give it for guarantee service and they offer me to change it - I'm sure that I'll got the display with dead pixels and I don't want it! So I hope that it the software/firmware trouble and it'll be fixed in the next MacOS update. If no - it'll be the disaster because I'll not be able to return the display and give my money back from the one hand (under Ukrainian laws the money back period of goods is 14 days), and I don't want to give the guarantee replacement with dead pixels!
Sorry for large text I had to to unburden myself!

Never opened iPad with dead pixels

I got a iPad 3 the day it came out from best buy. I wasn't unboxed for about a month after being purchased and when I turned it on, there were more than 3 dead pixels. Also one of the led backlights are blue when they should be white. Is this a manufacturing issue? Can I go to the genius bar and get a free replacement even though I never bought a warranty and purchased it outside of Canada? Please reply. I need help.

Is this a manufacturing issue? Maybe.Can I go to the genius bar
Yes.
and get a free replacement
If it is determined to be a warranty issue, yes.

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.

Macbook Pro Out of box DEAD pixels

Yea, want to get a general consensus, Should i be mad that my 3200$ laptop came with Dead Pixels? I think the general state i should be in is angry.
I will be contacting Apple for a replacement, I don't think thats too much to ask at this point.

You're taking this much further than what it actually is.
Grudge? I don't think so. I don't even work in "the industry." I said I've helped set up and deploy hundreds of laptops (And also desktops, all LCD monitors). I'm at the same end as yourself, but on a larger scale. I work at in a school district in the IT department. So, once again, grudge? I think not.
No. I didn't imply that about LCD screens. I implied that on ANY LCD screen there CAN (Meaning the possibility of an occurrence) be dead pixels. I had dead pixels on my new iPod touch. I'm just sending it in for repair.
Natural reaction? Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think everyone who gets a problem with a new laptop is going to go off cussing left and right. I know I wouldn't. Matter of fact, I bought a new MBP three weeks ago and I suspect that it may have a bad battery. I'm not cursing apple and swearing all about it. That's a rather pointless reaction that gets your no where.
Constructive advice? You can't get very constructive here, since, you have three simple options. Repair. Replace. Money back.
That's great. I'm glad you've got some large nice screen that hasn't had any issues. Guess what, I have 3 LCD screens (MBP, some no name 19" LCD, and a 17" Apple Studio Display), and none of them have had any dead or stuck pixels either. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Oh I should take back that there's only three options. One slight other one. You can try "fixing" the pixels.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20962
There's one for 10.5. Basically just drop the color square over the dead pixel and have it flash it for five or so minutes. That's really the only software way of attempting to fix it. If it fails then it's a repair/replacement.
Also, unlike the others, I would not suggest getting a replacement.But, this is only if you're sure that everything else on the laptop is absolutely 100%. Then why would you get a replacement? If you're sure everything else work why not just get it repaired? If you get a replacement you're risking having new issues with the MBP that could be more serious than dead pixels.
One thing to do in making sure everything else is good is a hardware diagnostics test. You can try running a hardware diagnostics test (One of the first things I did on my new MBP I got 3 weeks ago) by putting in the first apple installer CD and then booting up while holding D.
