Dust under New iPad Screen...Again...

I just had an iPad (2012) replaced because there was dust under the screen. My replacement has a very small speck of dust under the screen that is smaller than the original and it really bothers me also. Will the Apple Store be mad that I want to get this one replaced as well and not replace it because they already replaced one bad iPad for me already?
Thank you so much! (If you reply)

I went through 3 iPhone 4's last year when I had a water damage replacement for the first one, and the guys in the genius bar where just as helpful every time I went back with a new issue. The amount of replacements should not matter at all, sounds like you've been very unlucky, nothing else. I do as above though, check it out Instore.
One suggestion I would make on getting your replacement is ensure they either give you a replacement box, or the sticker to put on your original box or you will be given grief for having an iPad not matching the box if you ever come to sell it.

  • Dust speck under new iPad screen

    I just called apple about a dust speck I have under my new iPad screen.. I have only had it for a week, and it's never left my side.  I called support, and without apple care, I have to pay for shipping out of my own pocket.  Does that seem right to anyone?  I'd love to drop it at an apple store, but I live a ferry ride and 100+ km away..

    Did you buy it from Apple online? did they pay for the shipping to you? I'm just asking because I don't know what the policy is where you live.
    However, based on my experiences here in the USA - if product that is still in warranty has to be returned to the manufacturer, shipping is paid by the consumer - or at least that has been my experience in the past.
    The device is what is under warranty - transportation to get the product back to the manufacturer is the customer's responsibility. Once again - that has been my experience. There are some warranties that may exist that cover shipping - but that would be above and beyond in my opinion.

  • Dirt under the ipad screen

    Hi,
    I realizes there's a bit of dust under the ipad screen. did anyone encounter that before? can it be send to the service center to check? Thanks

    I'd take it back. If it is new they should give you a new one. Otherwise, they should give you a serviced one. In either event, it goes without saying, make rue you back it up first.

  • New iPad..dust under the glass screen ?????

    After buying the new iPad 32GB 4G from your branch here in Saudi Arabia, I was shocked to discover some dust under the glass screen. When I returned to the showroom, they refused to replace it and claimed that it is normal for all iPad products to leak in dust and is not a damage in the unit. I believe it is not acceptable at all for a SAR 3000+ devise to allow dust to come into its internal chipsets (with all the damage this might cause). I am sending this as a complaint against the local reseller with request of immediate replacement.
    Please advise

    OK. Apple is not reading any of these posts for hardware issues. Nobody here works for Apple. We are other users just like you.
    I am advising you to contact Apple - however you can - whereever you live - there is nothing anyone here can do to help you.

    I have mi new ipad screen broken in one corner, I was really disappointed because it was drop from about 30 cm so I was not expecting the screen to be broken, well I went to apple store in regents street in London  and I was told that I have to pay 250 pounds for the screen replacement, it was a rip off and after many years using apple products I have expend thousands of pounds on them, I just think is  a rip off price. It will be difficult but I won't be buying any apple products anymore, I really feel like I was abuse that was half of the price of a new iPad. I have never complain in my life but this time I think apple is abusing me as a costumer.
    I'm really upset, I'm furious that apple uses his dominance in the market to Rip off costumers like me.

  • There is dust under my new iPad screen

    I bought the new iPad via the online store (Singapore) last week, but now I am not in Singapore.  How to exchange the new one in other contries that still not sell the new iPad?  Or what should I do?

    If there is no evidence of abuse, these are the out-of-warranty charges.  If there is evidence of abuse (don't try to fix it yourself), Apple will return your damaged unit to you.

  • White dots or pixels on new iPad screen.

    I recently purchased a new 16gb wifi New iPad and while applying a new screen guard I noticed 2 very small white dots on the screen under the glass. These dots are not noticeable while the screen is on unless you really look for them. Has anyone else found the same thing with their new iPad and is it worth returning my iPad for a replacement.?

    I have noticed the same thing on my new iPad!
    At first I thought that I had damaged it but couldn't understand why there seemed to be in the same spot one on top of the other.
    It's like there is a small bit of dust that has managed to get between the screens and then when I have been using the iPad it has somehow split in two and stuck to both the inside of the outter screen and the inner screen, if that makes sense....

  • Dust under a glass screen.

    I've got my IPad 8 months ago - screen in perfect condition. Just recently - few days ago a white spot (dust particle) appeared under the glass screen. Quite annoying on white background and visible when you switch off the screen. Is it possible to replace the unit under 1 year warranty ?

    Is it possible - yes. But only Apple can make the determination for sure. You would have to show it to an Apple Genius or contact Apple and send your iPad to them so that they can see the device.

  • Small hair under my iPad screen

    I've just discovered a short, very fine piece of hair under the screen of my New iPad. It's not particularly noticeable* and I don't propose to ask for a refund on cosmetic reasons only, but I don't know how the retina display works or whether the hair could cause damage to it in the long run. Any chance it could become a problem?
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    *By "not particularly noticeable" I mean that I got this iPad on the first date of sale and only noticed the hair today!

    Take it to the Apple store & you'll probably get a replacement.

  • Spec of dust under iPhone 3GS screen

    Ok, so in the past week or so, I've noticed a small spec of dust UNDER the screen of my iPhone 3GS.
    It's pretty visible when the screen is dark, and a little irritating when watching a movie, etc on it.
    Now, I've called the Apple store, and they said that they would replace the handset, as it's under warranty. I have 3 months left on my warranty, and wouldn't want any more dust particles getting under the screen after my warranty has ended, so I'd rather get the issue sorted out now.
    I forgot to ask on the phone (I will give them another call tomorrow), but what condition would the replaced phone come in? Would it be brand new? I don't want to have a second hand, or used iPhone, even if it was in perfect condition.
    Thanks,
    David.

    Yes - as already provided, there will be no way for you to tell the difference between a new iPhone and a refurbished iPhone.
    Per the written warranty, an exchange under warranty will be a new or refurbished iPhone. An exchange under warranty is called a service unit regardless if new or refurbished and is provided in a plain unsealed box which includes the iPhone only.

  • New iPad screen is not really white

    When i put the screen of the new iPad against the iPad 2 or iPhone 4s I notice is not really white on the colors where is supposed to be white, is a little yellow, jus a little. In some games like tiny tower the blue looks more purple and so on...
    Is just my iPad?

    You can take it into the apple store and have them look at it. Going by forum posts, there seems to be an issue with some yellow tinged screens. Even if they won't replace it you can document the issue in case it gets worse in the future.

  • New iPad Screen Broken

    I was in college and my ipad sleve from my hand and the screen crashed, I can use it normaly but the screen is broken. A friend told me that if took it to an Apple Store and give them like 100$ or 200$ they give me an New iPad. its that true? and if they dont do that, what are my solutions?

    No, not an issue at all - just cheaper to get it replaced for accidental damage - $49 plus tax. But take it into your Apple Store by all means. I'm not sure what the replacement cost is, but having anyone mess with it except Apple at this point would put it out of Warranty.
    Here is a link for iPad Service, but I couldn't find anything specific about the replacement cost when you do not have an AppleCare plan. However, I do know that they will replace it for a flat fee.... Here's the link FYI:

    So, take it in to see what they can do for you!

  • My actual (brand new) iPad screen appears to have bubbles after on it after I removed a screen protector. HELP

    Can someone help:
    I bought a new iPad from the Apple Store in Danbury CT the day before yesterday (it's a Verizon iPad). I bought a screen protector for it today and after deciding to remove it, was left with bubbles on the actual screen itself.
    Any thoughts.....Thanks.

    I just really find it hard to believe that the screen itself has bubbles in to, but we can't see the device. Why don't you take it to an Apple Store and have a genius look at it? Or take it back to Verizon, since they put the screen protector on it.
    Is the touch screen responsive ... It works OK?
