I have one dead pixel on my iPad Mini, besides sending it back is there anything I could do?

On my iPad Mini screen, since I have bought it, there has been one small black dot in the middle of the screen (I'm presuming a dead pixel because its absolutely always there). And I'm not too bothered about it but if there was something I could do without having to send it back that would be great!
Thanks
Ryan

My iPad Mini arrived this morning with a dead pixel. I am going through the exchange process now. Hopefully the next one I recieve will not have this problem. Is this a popular issue?

I have a dead pixel on my ipad mini... What do I do? Only had it for almost 2 months.

Got my ipad mini on 2/24/2013 everything's great till I saw a dead pixel on the screen. Is there any solution for me? Apple should cover it as warranty right?

Please take not that there are approximate 800,000 pixel on an iPad 2.

Got a "Dead" Pixel on my Ipad, How is Apple with these sorts of things?

Okay, I have noticed I have a dead pixel, its more of a bright spot on my screen, Larger then a pixel, its a small area, where its brighter then the rest of the image, on white backgrounds its really noticeable, like when reading a book. How is Apple with Exchanging it with a new one? I bought mine at Best Buy btw.

This is Apple's policy on computer displays. They may be the similar on the iPad. I would get it looked at. They may just exchange it, seeing you just got it.

Should I ask for a replacement???
You can always ask for a replacement, but this does not mean that you'll actually get one.
Also, there is no guarantee that your new iPad will be free of faulty pixels.
Any display, no matter from which manufacturer, can have or develop faulty pixels.

Dead pixel in my iPad

I was grievously disappointed to discover a dead pixel near the center of the screen in my iPad yesterday just before leaving to the U.S. from Japan.
Almost everything I have ever gotten from Apple has had a defect like this and I've had to fight fight fight to get it fixed each time.
But... I decided to see if I could get it replaced while here in the U.S.
So I made an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store at the Chestnut Hill Mall here in Boston and brought the iPad over at 2 pm.
The guy at the Bar was nice, saw the broken pixel and immediately said he'd swap it for a new one for me! So I was very pleasantly surprised and glad about that.
Then the new swapped one ALSO had a broken pixel - almost in the exact same area!!!
So he sort of sighed, but did a 2nd swap out for a 3rd iPad. This time we looked and looked (while impatient people were backed up to get help) and couldn't find a single broken pixel.
So fortunately this problem was resolved very nicely by Apple and I'm good to go. Using a 2 GB AT&T contract with an AT&T SIM card while I'm in the U.S.
I'm surprised that two iPads in a row had a broken pixel, and almost in the same area. But I was really pleased at the friendly, reassuring service I got at the Genius Bar.

Yes, extraordinary bad luck.
While I haven't had problems with my desktop Macs (iMacs) or my iPhone 3G, every other mobile/portable device I ever bought from Apple, going back 20 years, has had something go wrong with it, usually from the start, often multiple times. Examples:
- Duo: the screen had multiple broken pixels and needed to be replaced from the start.
- iBook: the wireless card (then an option) was set improperly and wasn't working. Needed to be sent back for repair.
- PowerBook G4: broken pixels needing replacement from the start, keyboard problems requiring top case and kb replacement. Also, that model had a really poorly designed cover that never closed properly (the famous wiggling cover problem.)
- MacBook Pro: Failure 2 times in 3 years of my trackpad requiring replacement; broken pixels requiring replacement; hard disk failure requiring replacement. Two replacements of mother board! The last one 2 months after my AppleCare warranty ran out, but Apple fixed it anyway. Keyboard needing replacement. I'm using it right now on my trip to the U.S. and it's still working after almost 4 years, but it definitely has taken advantage of the AppleCare warranty multiple times. And I'm not a rough user - I almost never take it off my desk, except on travel.
- iPod nano: Don't even get me started on that one. The screen was tilted (big discussion thread here) - they sent me 3 replacements, one worse than the other. I finally had to go to the Japan consumer affairs agency to force Apple to give me a refund. Which they finally did, with an apology and a gift certificate to use at the online store.
- iPad: broken pixel needing replacement, followed by a 2nd iPad with another broken pixel needing immediate replacement.
This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.
Unless I am unusually unlucky, my own sampling over the years tells me that while Apple support is great and they take care of the problems after the fact, they definitely have quality issues coming out of the factory to begin with.
I always have to "mentally prepare myself" before buying an Apple product because I know I am very likely going to have to invest a certain amount of time in dealing with Apple support and getting things fixed afterwards. Eventually it turns out ok each time, but just knowing I will have to deal with it is stressful.

Dead Pixels - Two Separate iPads

I recently purchased the 64-gig WiFi iPad in black and noticed that it had a cluster of dead pixels. Took it back to the Apple Store today to do an in-store exchange. The store had only one unit left, so we opened it up just to make sure it was okay. The salesperson turned it on and we both noticed that it had... more dead pixels, this time in the center of the screen. Since it was the only unit left, I was told that there was nothing more that could be done for me other than giving me a refund and was told that the store cannot order a replacement unit for me and that I'd have to either re-order online or find one in stock again.
It's so disappointing to finally get one and have this happen. Is anyone else having similar issues with units bought in the recent months? Is this a common occurence or do I just have bad luck? I'm thinking about waiting a few more months and hoping it was just a bad batch.

That's a good idea; they let me turn it on and check after I purchased last time, but it would be better to check before I actually pay for it. Again, I'm glad that I was able to get a refund and not be stuck with a defective iPad, but it is rather annoying to have to stake-out various retail locations to find the model that I want in stock. It seems that the Apple stores are pretty tight-lipped about upcoming shipments and when they expect new iPads to be in stock. It is frustrating to have finally found the model I wanted, bought accessories and apps, only to end up with no iPad in the end.

I have one dead pixel in the middle of the screen.

I have 3 issues with my iPad2 at the moment
1. Bad back-light bleeding around edges. It is kind of big bleed on the right edge and small ones on the left.
2. One dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
3. Lots Horizontal lines occured everytime when press sleep button on and off quickly.
What can I do, this is the replaced one that comes in brown box. On of the genius guy say that horizonta lines is normal when LCD screen boots up and as long as it does not effect while you are playing then it should be fine. But my friend dont have this issue so i think it is kind of faulty of the device.
Can I go to genius bar and ask for another replacement?

I went to apple store today and this time one of the staff said they will not replace for dead pixels or screen bleeding. And for the horizontal line issue.. The guy at genius bar said it's normal when LCD screen wakes up from sleep or when it boots up. It's kinda weird I think.

Do I have a dead pixel on my ipod touch I can change?

I appeared a dead pixel on my ipod touch 4, still has warranty, but I wonder if this falls under warranty, to see if what I took to fix or change.
I have almost more than 3 months in.

Maybe. See:

How to fix stuck/dead pixel on my iPad 2

I just got an iPad 2 and I found out that there is a stuck/dead pixel on the screen. I thought that I could ignore it at the beginning but it just gets too annoying and it grabs my eye when doing anything. So I need to fix it. But first I need to know is it dead or stuck.
On some colors it appeared in two different colors, it changes each time I look at it from different position.
So on white : blue and red
On black : it does not appear
On purple : red and blue
On red : blue and red (so it does not appear)
On blue : black and blue
I hope I gave enough information. Waiting for your help...
P.S. I entered on YouTube and saw a video called stuck pixel fixer or something like that and I opened it for like three minutes each day for about three days now, and it did not fix it, do I need to play it for a specific time? Or do I need something else?

there is an app (cant remeber the name sorry) but it it basical flix up soild images of colour (red,blue,yellow ect...) and it did it at a speed to try and shake the pixel into working agian, sorry i cant remember the name....but its sumit like screen cleaner or sumit like that.

So i have a dead pixel on my rMBP does anyone know if apple will replace it or repair it if i take it to the store?

Its a Late 2013 MBP and its the higher end 16gb ram model
Ive only had it a few months so its under the one year warranty, and it had like 1 or 2 really annoying dead pixels.
Will apple replace it or repair it if i take it in?

You'd better make a reservation of Genius Bar and show them the problem, dead pixels and ask for repair if it's possible.

So i have a dead pixel on my MBP will apple place it if i go to the store?

Hi dizzyspanks,
For information about pixel anomalies such as you describe, I would suggest that you read this article -

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...
