How to fix dead pixels on iPod touch 4g?

Hi.
I have a 2 year old iPod touch in very good condition, and I am starting to notice that some pixels where dying. It started out as a very few, then a bit more, and this morning, there was even more. I want to fix this cuz I am afraid that the problem grows and that I will no longer be able to use my iPod. It is out of warranty now, and I do not feel like paying a fortune to get it fixed...I take extreme good care of my iPod. And I have no money to get a new one.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi nath
Unfortunatly the only solution i can see is to either buy a replacement screen or a new ipod. As you said you have no money to get a new one so you may be able to find a replacement screen cheaper than buying a new ipod. Or you could try an LCD repair kit, though i have only seen them for fixing LCD screens in car speedometers.
Hope this helped!

How to fix "Dead Pixel(s)" on LCD screen

I currently bought a Brand new tv off ebay, and when I got it in the mail, I was excited, but when I turned it on 22" LED Back light LCD 1080p full HDTV, and it has 2 dead pixels. I didn't think much of it, but its passed the point of when I can return it to the owner from which I bought it from. My question is, is there retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart or any other store that can fix Dead Pixels (the pixels aren't stuck, they are dead) I've tried multiple ways to fix it, such as they suggest, but Im willing to spend a few extra bucks to have the 2 pixels replaced/fixed. I've done the tapping the dead pixel to even see if it would register and it doesn't and the damp clothe way, including the heating it up with poor ventilation, for a day or so. I have seen success it in, but not completely. Help would be very much appreciated. thanks.

There is a difference betwen a "stuck" pixel and a "Dead" pixel. a stuck pixel is one that is not cycling; it is either not discharging (stuck on) or not charging (stuck off). Such pixels can spontaneously correct themselves, and are prone to recurring.
Dead pixels are pixels that are not operating at all. They are OFF, meaning dark. If the pixel is on, and displaying any color, then it is stuck and not dead. Dead pixels are generally not repairable, and are permanent.
Forget the "tricks" that you have heard. Any success you have uysing them is merely coincidental. In many cases, cycling the unit will revive stuck pixels, as sill allowing the unit to either reach full operating temperature or cooling to the coldest ambient temperature possible.
Good luck...I hope your pixels are stuck and not dead.

How to fix dead pixels on a 20 inch flat panel??

I bought my 20 in flat panel 3 years ago. Both the Dell and the Apple used the same panel from the same manufacturer. My choice was Dell because of the 3 year warranty and 5 selectable inputs. So much for history. In the last 2 weeks I have found what I thought were 2 areas of dead pixels perhaps 10x10 pixels. They were sort of irregular blobs. They were definitely not on the surface of the screen. i.e. dirt. On the off chance I was blind or something I took a very soft cloth, wet it with plain water, rubbed the blobs using my finger tip and they disappeared. I watched through a magnifying glass and you could see the surrounding pixels distorting from the pressure. I don't know what I did to the LCD layer behind the glass but the suffice to say the blobs were gone. The same thing should apply to the Apple display since it uses the same panel. I am not recommending this as a tested and guaranteed fix I am just telling my experience. PS, I am an absolute Mac fan and am not recommending any one elses product.

thanks to me

TS2771 how to fix no backlighting on ipod touch

The backlight on my ipod touch doesn't work any more.
I can still see the screen if there's alot of light in the room but,
I can't see anything if there isn't.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Try restoring the iPod. Foist from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem. Likely the backlighti is bad or it could be the driver circuits.
