I have a small white spot on my screen

I have a macbook air which i bought in april.  It works great but i notice it there is a small white spot on the screen that is very annoying.  It's not visual when I'm playing a game or wtching a video because there is a dark screen behind it.  When there is a light screen in front of it it's there.  It's annoying. 

Your Mac has a 1-year warranty.  If this is a hardware problem in the display (and it sounds like it is) they will fix it for free.

  • I have a small white square on my screen - it doesn't drag open or move, 21" iMac (mid 2010)

    Just today I noticed a small pale white square on my screen. It's fixed in position, doesn't drag wider or open up anything.
    iMac spec is 21" mid 2010 updated Xmas 2014 to OS X - Yosemite 10.10.1, 3.06 Ghz Intel Core i3

    Howdy yogadude,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the small white square on your iMac's display may be a pixel anomaly, take a look at the article linked below for more information and possible solutions.

  • Muse 100% width elements and images have a small white gap running along the right hand side on mobile site

    On the mobile version of my site all the 100% width elements and images have a small white gap running along the right hand side. This looks very unprofessional. There are no other elements outside the area. Any ideas anyone? All advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Hello,
    I have checked you site on the phone and it seems that Zak is correct.
    Please go to the phone layout and make sure there is no element out side the browser area at the right side.
    You can simply do Select All to find if anything is outside the browser area. If you find anything you either need to delete it or you need to bring it in the browser area.
    If still an issue please share he muse file with us and we will investigate it further.

  • My ipod touch 4g, has a white spot on the screen when you turn it on, what is that and how do I fix it?

    When you turn the ipod on, there is a noticeable white spot on the screen/display. Once all the apps come on you can't see it, but when it starts up you can.

    From you descriptionis is hard to tell if it a atain on the outside of the screen or just what.  Have you tried cleaning the screeen as said in the users guide:
    Cleaning iPod touch
    Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause stains,
    such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, or lotions. To clean iPod touch, disconnect all cables and
    turn off iPod touch (press and hold the On/Off button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a
    soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,
    household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
    clean iPod touch. Rubbing the screen with an abrasive material may scratch the glass.
    For more information about handling iPod touch, see the iPod touch Important Product Information
    Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/ipodtouch.

  • Bright white spots on the screen?

    Hey guys, my iPhone has developed these two bright white spots on the screen. I don't think it's a hardware problem because they are not there for every application. But I have tried restarting it, completely resetting it, etc with no success. The problem is I bought in July 2007 so my warranty is up. Am I screwed?

    You can also look at LCD replacement from outside repair companies like iResQ.com. If you're not sure what's going on with the spots, you can also get a diagnosis within 24 hours from them before you decide to repair or resell. Replacement can be had for $130, back to you the day after receiving your order. Also, their techs are Apple-certified. Check it out if you're still having problems:

    Ardha,
    Welcome to the forum.  White spots on the LCD, typically a bright white spot most clearly seen against a white background like the forum, or google home page, is caused by pressure damage - pressure applied to back of the LCD panel. 
    Since you indicated that you have only had the system 1 day, unless you are aware of something that happened while in your care, I can only guess that the damage was done during transport or manufacturing.  I would recommend you contact your point of purchase and ask to exchange the unit.  I would also try to power up and inspect the new system immediately to make sure all is well.
    Please also see my PM - I would like you to take a pic of the spot and email to me if possible.  While random things happen, I'd like us to take a look at this. 
    Best regards,
    Mark

  • Small white spots on boot up

    So I booted up my iMac this morning and before going into the login screen, I noticed this white spots on the top-left corner of the display:
    Any one know of this problem or have the same problem? Sorry if it's blurry btw, crappy camera.

    It happens every time?
    It looks like it is displayed and not physically on the LCD panel, do you agree?
    Since you noticed this problem, have you shut down (powered off) completely? If not, try doing so and then restarting after the iMac cools down a bit.

  • Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display produces small white spots, how do I clean the screen?

    How do I remove the white spots from the Macbook Pro display? The cleaning cloth takes out few of the spots, but I don't want to apply so much pressure on the display, as it may damage it. I'm a little nervous about using liquids, should I? Any solutions? Cloths? Liquids? Etc.

    I've noticed that people offer various personal advice on this, but nobody references the engineers who actually designed and built the screen.  I'm assuming Apple did consult the engineers on this issue and they actually took the time to write about it in the "MacBook Pro Important Product Information Guide."  They probably thought it was important or something. ;-)
    I'll quote page 2 from the 2012 rMBP version:
    "Cleaning the McBook Pro Screen  To clean your MacBook Pro screen, first shut down your MacBook Pro and unplug the power adapter. Then dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen." (Emphasis added.)
    Coming from a machining background, I would recommend using a swirling motion to avoid wearing the screen in a uniform manner.  Take note that this is not explicitly stated in the guide, and is probably not necessary considering the included cloth is so soft that it probably wouldn't affect the screen this way.

  • Bios Update for G400s Touch/ White spot on the screen

    When will be released g400s touch's new bios? G400s already have the update. That is incompatible with my machine.
    Recently, appeared a white spot on my device screen. It's small, but it's bothering me since the notebook only has 1 year of use. The warranty covers?

    That sounds like a stuck pixel, usually has to be more than one to be a warranty issue. Contact Lenovo Support to verify your warranty status and determine if your warranty will cover dead pixels and how many would trigger screen replacement.
    Good luck.

  • White spot on the screen

    I have an ipad mini, has a white spot that is very noticeable, but how are letters in spots, this disappears , what i can do?
    Translated with google translator

    With a lot of time spent waiting on hold for a tech support person (I literally timed 47 minutes before speaking to someone) and some very direct answers, my powerbook screen was replaced BUT the hinges are now missaligned. ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING LATELY. I never had a problem with my 1.25ghz PowerBook and it seems as APPLE is making a commercial leap, what was once high end is just mediocre moderate end junk. Though they did fix the screen, I had to purchase AppleCare and urge anyone who is in the time frame where this is an option to do the same.
    TIPS
    Clock your hold time. there is no excuse for me to wait that long to be put on hold and then transferred after my first attempt was dropped ON THEIR END as I was calling from an analogue landline.

  • Small white square appearing on screen

    Yesterday I was looking at my iPhoto pictures and every picture had 2 small white squares appear on the screen which I tried to edit. Only to find this morning I now have one white square appearing on the Mac book pro screen. I cannot get rid of it.
    Please can anyone advise me how to remove it and what is causing it?
    Thanks
    Carol

    all makes perfect sense... except I cannot for the life of me find any reference in Apple docs to the tick mark box as being an on screen indicator of display mode  - you may have indeed found an anomaly though - look at the similarity to the tick boxes in this image from > Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display - Apple Support
    I'm noticing functional or visual issues with an application. How can I make it work better?
    Try opening the application using Low Resolution mode:
    Quit the application if it is currently open.
    etc........
    This, I'm afraid, will remain one of Life's Great Mysteries... when troubleshooting, one thing at a time is imperative to detect that issue that is the fix.

  • A lot white spots in LCD screen Mac Pro

    Hi,
    I just bought mac pro 13-inch online directly from apple for only about 4 month, and today I found a lot white spots in the top left screen, it really make me fell unease, can apple replace the LCD?  Thanks.

    Yes, Apple can replace it. You've a one-year warranty - three years if you purchased AppleCare. Take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them take a look at it.

  • Appeared white spot on the screen of ipad mini. What can i do?

    A white spot was appeared on my ipad mini screen? Please help

    It's under warranty for one year from the day you bought it.
    It was released on Nov. 2, 2012. If you bought it that day, you are 8 days out of warranty. If you bought it after Nov.10, 2012, you are under warranty (as of today.  Apple should have the sale date if you give them your serial number. If you have the receipt, use that.
    Either way, you should check with Apple and they should give you a new one (original) as a replacement. If you're near a store, make an appointment as soon as possible with the genius bar and bring it in.
    Please do it as soon as possible.
    Hope this helps.
