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!

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.

  • Does my warranty cover the mac book pro charger?

    I got a new Mac Book pro for Christmas and the charger already stopped working. Luckily I had an old one. Anyone know if my warrantly will cover the dead charger? Not trying to spend like 75 bucks on a new one.

    The Mac, so they can corroborate the serial no. and confirm coverage. Can check here:  https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    After this experience, consider the benefits of extending the warranty for two more years, post-Xmas, with AppleCare.

  • Does my warranty cover my repairs if I dropped my Macbook Pro?

    I purchased it July 2011 so it hasn't been a year yet. Does Apple cover this or just technical gliches?

    No, there's no insurance provided by Apple.  You can see if your insurance company will cover it, but be wary...  you should make sure your insurance company won't jack up your monthly payments after filing such a claim.  (I once filed a minor claim for water damage from a leaking sink, and I paid for that claim amount within 6 months due to higher premiums, then had to continue paying the higher premium after.)

  • I have a crack in my rear-facing camera does the warranty cover this repair? It's about 5 months old.

    If it was caused by a defect thenyes.  If caused by accidental damage like dropping then likely not. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.
    If it is only a cosment defect, the warranty does not cover it.

  • TS1713 Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of a damaged Magsafe adaptor?

    The cord on my 85W Magsafe adaptor has been damaged. Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of the adaptor?

    The cord directly connected to the adaptor was starting to rip off, and so my mother used electrical tape to fix it. The tape ended up melting, somehow causing the cord to rip off, but not completely. The charger works to an extent - it's very on and off. However, I still would like to replace it for a new one. Will I still be able to replace it? With warranty covering it?

  • .. Does the warranty cover the screen? Mine cracked..

    .. Does the warranty cover the screen? Mine cracked.. My iPod's 4th generation.

    No. But sometimes if you make an appointment at the Genius bar of an Apple store they will replace your iPod at no cost.. Otherwise the exchange price is $99, $149, or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • Does apple still cover the iPod touch 2 gen ???

    Does apple still cover the iPod touch 2 gen

    What do you mean by cover?
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
      Apple - iPod Repair price
    However, the cost may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    does my warranty cover my charger to be fixed

    Yes, as long as it's not damage that you caused. If it just stopped working or it's frayed, they'll replace it.

  • Does my warranty cover screen breaks?

    No.
    Almost all warranties for almost all products cover manufacturer defect, NOT damage.

  • I have an iPad 3rd gen it was bought in the US but I am in india and I have come to notice a dead pixel on the screen . Does my warranty cover that ? Can I claim it in india ?

    It was bought in may of 2012 can I claim my warranty ?

  • Does a Laptop Warranty Cover the Power Cord?

    Hi, I bought a HP Envy Touchsmart 15 and it is still covered by warranty.   However, I cannot find any support help online such as  the support chat which I find very odd since I just used it about a month ago when my battery died!  Where did all the support go?
    Anyways, when I plug in my laptop, the LED by the power port does not come on, and my laptop will not charge or turn on at all.  My battery is dead, but I know it works becasue it is less than a month old.  Since my laptop will not run on AC power even with the battery removed, I feel the power cord is the problem.
    I would really like to know if my warranty covers the power cord, and if so how do I contact HP, since there is absolutley no information when I go to "Contact Us" besides the consumer forums.
    I am a ECE student at UT in Austin, and every day I go without a laptop is hurting my grades.  So I need help ASAP

  • So i recently lost my phone and i was wondering. does the warranty cover the loss of an apple product?

    I recently lost my Iphone 4 and ive had it for only a few months now. does anyone know if the warranty will cover the phone and if i would be able to get a new one for free?

    Your standard warranty does not cover loss or theft. For that you should have purchased insurance from your insurance agent. If you purchased the extended warranty, then look below to find your coverage limits:
    Apple - Support - AppleCare+ - iPhone

  • My screen cracked, but I haven't had my macbook for a full year yet. Does Apple care or warranty cover the costs of the damage?

    My screen cracked, does apple care or warrant cover the costs?

    Yes, unless the damage occurred due to an accident. In other words the warranty is applicable only if the crack occurred due to a manufacturing defect.
