I have 2 dead pixels on my N80

Does anyone know Nokia's policy on dead pixels? Or should I said it back to the Carfphone Warehouse as I've had it less than a month and also it is insured?

Try the Carphone Warehouse first - see if you can get it replaced... to me, a replacement will always be more favourable to a repaired handset...
If not, see what they suggest... though I'd be inclined to take it to my nearest Nokia Service Centre (www.nokia.com/repair) - some of these Service Centres are in Carphone Warehouses though, so you may be in luck...

Can an Apple TV have dead pixels?

I am just curious if an Apple TV 1st Gen can have dead pixels.

What issues are you seeing?
If you are seeing graphical corruption it may be the AppleTV logic board/graphics chip are starting to fail giving abnormal pixels on screen.
Occasionally a bad HDMI lead can give poor quality video - try another if you can.
It could also be the TV display or HDMI input at fault.
Best thing would be to test with different HDMI lead and/or TV if you can to narrow it down to AppleTV or other issue.
This assume you are using HDMI. I guess I would also test using component out on AppleTV1 if my TV had component in and a set of leads.

I think I have dead pixels.

I recently got an iPhone 5, and then my dad said I should put a screen cover on it. So he gave me a Duracell screen protector. Then one day I looked closely on the lock screen under the date and I saw this rainbow type mark. It was rainbow and it was really annoying when I used my iPhone. My friend told me it was a dead pixel. I looked up ways to fix it and I played these videos on YouTube that are supposed to recalibrate, or revive, the dead pixel. It never worked.
What should I do?

Take off the screen protector and clean the screen with a soft cloth. See what the screen looks like then.

24" iMac with dead pixels

I haven't seen any threads about this so I figured I'd give it a go and see how many others have dead pixels. My first 24" that I took home from the Apple store had one single, almost not noticeable, dead pixel. Most LCD manufactures will not warranty anything less than 6 dead pixels. It was near the center of the screen and after forking out $2400 I wanted a perfect LCD with no dead pixels. So I took it back the next day and luckily for me the manager at the Apple store let me exchange it. I took it out of the box in the store, booted it to check it out and didn't find any dead pixels. 3 or 4 days later I found a dead pixel. Bright blue near the bottom. You can only see it on a black screen. So I told myself that I would just deal with it until the next day I found a second dead pixel. So now I have 2 dead pixels and am pondering whether I should take it back or not..

Hello,
'Stuck' pixels, i.e. those that are stuck at a particular colour may sometimes be cleared by simply rapidly changing the colours behind them.

Is there a way to get rid of dead pixels on an iphone?

I have dead pixels (dead spots is what I am used to calling them) on my iphone 4 screen. I dont know if there is a way to get ride of all of them without getting new iphone. There are quite a lot of them. And if I do indeed need to get a new iPhone, how much would it be? I only have the one year warrenty and its been over a year.

A "dead pixel" is a transistor that refuses to switch properly, and there's nothing you can do to fix individual pixels. Apple offers an out-of-warranty replacement iPhone for about $150 + tax.

Dead pixel on MacBook Pro?

I'm getting really upset about this. I bought a 13" MacBook Pro w/ Retina about three or four months ago. Now I have dead pixels. The guiness at the Apple Store informed me that one or two dead pixels was within the quality control standards. He then proceeded to let me know that he could replace my screen, but there may or may not be more dead pixels on that screen and eventually they would cut me off because it meets Apple's "standards."
So I guess I actually have a few questions:
Is this a problem with all Mac displays? Or is this specific to the Retina display?
Should I get it fixed now, or wait for more and more pixels to die?
Are there any "at home" remedies? (Other than massaging the screen, because I already tried that)
I know Apple will replace products, but would they let me exchange it for a Pro without Retina if this is a retina specific problem?
This may all sound petty, but this computer was extremely expensive and I'm really not happy about this issue.

1) All displays. Retina display is no different in terms of composition, it simply has a higher pixel density. It is still an LCD display. Perhaps the fact that more pixels are being crammed into the same surface area would raise the probability of a pixel failure. But, it would be safe to say, no.
2) Now. This is an anomoly, not a major issue. There would be no advantage in my opinion to wait. See below for Apple's 'standards' regarding dead pixels.
3) Not applicable / No. Apple's warranty only covers your model. There is no exchange program. They will service your display free of charge within the one year warranty period. During this period, you can opt at any time for an extended warranty (Applecare), which would extend hardware coverage for two subsequent years.
4) Not petty, extremely legitimate. Expensive machine that should work as intended. This is why Apple's warranty coverage is more extensive than any other major CPU manufacturor. You are paying for a top of the line product, and the servicing needs to be commensurate with the price.

1 dead pixel on the screen

I seem to have a dead or stuck pixel on the screen. How do I know if its dead, or if its stuck? Do dead pixels look different from stuck pixels?
Im not to bothered about it as I can hardly see it and I struggle to see it, but it is slightly annoying that you know its there. It looks turquoise colour, but when I put some black over it on the screen, you cant see it.
Also, I have downloaded the stuck pixel fixer and run it for about 20 minutes, and it doesnt seemed to have done anything.
Does anyone suggest what to do? Also, does apple have a pixel policy? Like I said im not to bothered by it, but when you know its there it can get a bit annoying. I have to really look for it to see it though.

Yes thats what I was thinking. Like I said im not to bothered about it and I can hardly see it, but might give them a call and see what they say. Its not acually to bad. I have dead pixels on other things before and they have been much worse. It must be because of the resolution of the screen or something.
I have to say, the one thing I hate the most and is the most annoying thing out of all technology for me is a dead pixel, esspecially when its right in the middle of the screen. This one is just at the top where the program menu bar is, so its not to obvious. Infact, its probably the best place it could have happend really, if it were to happen at all.

Dead pixel 27" iMac

Well, I've had my new iMac for around a month now and it's great and today I was working in Photoshop and tried to wipe what I thought was dust off my screen, then I realised it was beneath the glass and a dark dead pixel! NOOOOOO!!!! Because it's a kind of small horizontal line I think 2 pixels are dead. I don't know if they were there from new or have developed over time.
Now I know it's usually just down chance on normal PC laptops and displays as to whether you get a dead pixel or not and you usually have to live with it unless you pay extra for a dead pixel protection thing, but what is the score with new iMacs? I've read an Apple dead pixel policy from 2010 that says up to 10 are perfectly acceptable on large displays. Is this still the case? Pretty expensive bit of kit to have dead pixels.
Do I have any grounds for a replacement?
I wish I could undiscover it as my eyes are drawn to it immediately now. :'(
It looks like this...

Your iMac is in warranty, so take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller and the display should be replaced free of charge. Dead pixels are a problem, and as a problem, they must be repaired free of charge if your Mac is in warranty

Dead pixels or someother weird artifacts

Hi All,
This morning when i booted my 1yr old macbook pro i noticed a small cluster of white light near the centre of the screen, approx the size of a match head.
The cluster is odd/unusual in that it doesn't appear like dead pixels, but rather like light coming from 'behind' the lcd (kinda light someone shining a torch).
It appears the same regardless if the screen (background) is set to black/white/red/green or blue.
Any suggestions regarding this problem.
Thanks
-Craig

Could a crap graphics card have dead pixels itself?
Simply put… yes. Your description sound to be that there was problematic VRAM in the card. Like any RAM with issues they can manifest in many different ways although the usual for VRAM are screen artifacts. The use of two displays does put more demands on VRAM as well.

1 dead pixel on Iphone6 screen

Hi all, I picked up my iphone 6 from New Zealand Apple web store this Monday and noticed one dead pixel located near top of the screen. While it isn't instantly obvious, it shows up on white backgrounds and you'll probably have to hunt a little to pick it up. Would I be able to exchange my phone for a new one or is this problem too insignificant?
As picture shows you.Very obvious here!

Yes thats what I was thinking. Like I said im not to bothered about it and I can hardly see it, but might give them a call and see what they say. Its not acually to bad. I have dead pixels on other things before and they have been much worse. It must be because of the resolution of the screen or something.

How much dead pixels I need to ask a replacement

iPad 4th gen., a week old.

As many as you think you need. If you have dead pixels and it is convenient for you to return the iPad for a replacement/refund - then take it back and show it to an Apple Store employee. Take your paperwork with you ...the box, the cable ....everything that came with the iPad ... And the receipt.

IPhone 3GS Dead Pixel

Is it common to have dead pixel on iphone? Because it happen to me twice! First when i got my iphone it had 1 dead pixel, i went to change it within 7 days. When i got the new set it doesn't have it, BUT RIGHT NOW IM HAVING DEAD PIXEL AGAIN ON MY IPHONE. FROM 1 IT TURN INTO 3 RANDOM PLACES.

Not sure how common this is - not common with my original iPhone that is approaching 3 years old and not with my 3G which is approaching 2 years old this July/August.
The iPhone includes a one year warranty, and an exchange under warranty remains under the warranty for the original purchase.

There truelly isnt any way to fix that problem unless you send it into apple or get a third party to service your ipod. First, just make sure taht the ipod truelly has a dead pixil.
Restart your ipod (hold middle button and menu button till it goes blank) Then IMMEDIETLY hold the middle button and the previous arrow button. this will bring you into diagnostic mode. Press menu to go into manual test and select IO from the menu button. From there select display. Proceed to select color. What this will do is test the three colors that make up a triad. which are blue red and green. It will also do different shades and so forth of the color. If you notice that the pixel is only dead in one color then you might want to just try restoring your ipod to factory defults. This probably wont solve the problem, but it is worth a shot. If the pixel is completely dead in all three colors, then you do have dead pixels. The only way to fix that problem is have it serviced.
Apple should take the ipod no matter what. If you ahve the warrenty. Just call them up and say you have dead pixels on the display of your ipod. THey should repair it without cost that is if you have it under apple care plan.
Hope this helps..

16gb iPhone, 2x exchange experience due to dead pixels :(

I got 8gb iphone 12days ago from at&t store and found out 16g one was released 10 days after the purchase.
I got it from apple online store with overnight shipping because I asked apple store and they said they don't know when they will get shipment. I wanted to get new iphone and return one right after before 14 day warranty period, so there went my $16 overnight shipping fee. I paid $40 for restocking fee, too.
After turning on new 16GB iphone, I was dissapointed. Even before activation, I could clearly see a very bright spot in the black background, while holding the phone 50cm from my eyes. it was between the center and lower-left edge, closer to the center. it was visible on boot up and even in spring board. It annoyed me too much and with dead pixel testing tool, I could find 1 more big dead pixel and one not so big dead pixel(could barely see unless you look at the screen closely)
So I called apple and they told me to go see a genius in offline store. I made appointment and went there next morning. I just showed him two big dead pixels and he said I can use my warranty to get new one. We activated new phone together and before leaving the store, I connected to dead pixel testing website to see if there's any. I was very unhappy to find that it had 2 dead pixels around the center and a dust stuck in the lcd that appears as black dot on the screen. I showed it to the genius and he said every lcd has dead pixels and he can't get me another one because of those 2 dead pixels and a dust.
He told me the first exchange was just an exception he made. I was unsatisfied, first, because the 8gb phone I returned had absolutely no dead pixels, second, the 16GB I had before was better than this exchange, so I ended up with even worse one after paying $100 for extra storage and $40 for restocking fee. I know friends who have iphone and theirs have no dead pixels. I don't know how often deadpixels appear on iphones but what I knew was my 8gb phone and friends' iphones do not have dead pixels.
Ending up with even worse one, I could not leave the store. He called the manager and manager also said I can't get another exchange. I told her that I would not ask for another one even if next one is not satisfying but she said no. I was just standing there thinking about stuff, I even asked her if I can get the 8gb phone I returned yesterday because it was in perfect condition. She said if it's returned, then it is processed and I can't get it back.
Then she said that I can return this 16g one. I told her that I don't want to spend restocking fee again. She told me I don't need to pay that, contrary to what genius told me before. I just decided to get a refund and buy another one, but I wasn't mean enough to get a refund and buy one from them right after. I went to the other apple store nearby and got one. This time, there was no dead pixels, but just one tiny dust on the right edge on the screen which look like a tiny black dot. I decided to just live with it, because it's on the side and it just looks like other everyday dusts on the glass that I usually get, plus I'm tired.
Are deadpixels common in iphones? How's yours?

While watching a bought television show on my iPhone today I found a "pixel anomaly" as Apple calls it. It's not a dead pixel (black or always white) or stuck (I tried a pixel fixer video) but seems to be a dead sub-pixel (the red, green and blue that makes up a pixel). It appears lighter which makes me believe one of the colors is dead. It's a single messed up pixel but it is in the center of the screen. I'm torn whether or not to press the issue on it considering most pixel policies. I know that Apple is really good most the time with their displays. I'm just wondering their thoughts on a single sub-pixel.
My experiences with the genius bar hasn't been that great so I'm wary of dealing with them.

I have 2 dead pixels on my N80
