IPad 2 light leaks?

I love my 64GB Wi-Fi iPad2.  The only thing that bothers me are the light leaks around the edges of the screen.  Is anyone else having this problem? 

Type in light leaks in the Search Communities box on your right.  Then restrict your search to iPad and see what you find.  Here's one... https://discussions.apple.com/message/15370979#15370979

  • There is a small white light in the retina display on my ipad 3. Is this a dead pixel/light leak and how do I fix it? (Located at the bottom left side between home button and left corner)

    Maybe this will show up better in green.

  • Ipad 2 light leaks, anyone?

    well, i have this problem on my ipad, anyone? if yes, what tells you apple about it on the guarantee? apple employees, please don't make comments, you are not imparcial

    There are no Apple employees here. Don't try setting conditions for people that might respond.
    If you have  a light leak that you believe is unacceptable, you have a 12 month warranty.

  • Light leaking on iPad?

    I bought an iPad nearly three months ago (three days after canadian release) and am just noticing light leaking on it now that I am watching videos etc. It is really bugging me and I would like to get it replaced but it is obviously past the 2 week return period. Does the 90 day warranty cover this because I still have about a week left of that. Thanks.

    apple has a warranty period 1 year from product purchase time.
    but, service application part is hardware.

  • My iPad mini has a light leak, will Apple replace it for me?

    Hi, I got my iPad mini about a month ago and I have always noticed this light leak. I was wondering if Apple will replace it for me?
    The only problem is that I bought my iPad in the United States and I live in France...

    You should contact apple support or take it to an apple store.

  • Another iPad2 "light leak" "backlight bleeding" "yellowing spots" thread!

    I bought the iPad 2, White, 64g WIFI-only, at a Target. As soon as I turned it on, I immediately noticed a yellowish bleeding light from the edge of the display on the bottom right.
    Today, I went to an Apple store and showed it to a Genius, who was "shocked" to see it when he took is to a dark room in the back and replaced it with an unopened one.
    So I took it home, and guess what happened next? It was WORSE! It had light leaks, backlight bleeding, and yellow spots all over the screen! I drove back to the Apple store and found my Genius who was surprised to see me. He immediately took it the back room and confirmed the issue, yet again. So he gave me a new one.
    Guess what happened next. Yup, same problem, not as bad as the 2nd one, about the same as the 1st one I bought from Target. So I went back to the Apple store, and couldn't find my original Genius. A guy called "Scotty" told me that they "ran out" and that I would have to call back on Monday and can "...reserve one if they receive a shipment, because it's an exchange."
    I wonder if it's a "white iPad" issue. Some folks online with a black iPad seem to be reporting an issue.
    This is quite annoying and cannot wait to get a replacement. I was at the Apple store for 3 hours today. Blah!

    I am now on my 4th iPad returned and exchanged.
    This time I asked for a black one to replace my white one - which I justified as "maybe this is a white issue, not a black issue, as some people report." That seemed to convince them.
    So now I have a black one, which is the color I actually originally wanted anyway. My brother, who is thousands of miles away, told me his black iPad has no leaking whatsoever, which made me think I should try to the black as well.
    Guess what, the Black is ALSO affected. No change. I'm tired of going to Apple store at this point. I'll just wait for a few months and exchange this stupid thing. I cant really say I didn't try. And I can't really say Apple Genius guys didn't try either.

  • Light Leak problem, how much time to return?

    I went to the genius bar for a light leak problem, which was confirmed by a genius. Unfortunately it seems there never is any iPad 2 in stock. Do you think I'll be able to return my iPad 2 more than 14 days after I bought it

    Oh you may still get some light leakage.  I suspect almost all iPad2 suffer to some extent.  I didn't even realize I had any until the other night, when I was shutting my iPad down and it was dark in the room.  The light leak I saw as at the bottom right hand corner.  In normal viewing, it's simply not an issue and not one I feel is worthy of asking for a replacement.  What I have seen here on the forum is that Apple will replace your iPad once for this issue, but not a second time.

  • I have light leaking from the right top corner of my iPhone 5.is it a problem or a major thing. Is there anyone, who hasn't got this problem?

    I noticed light leaking from the top right corner of my new iPhone 5 from a small area. I noticed first, when I changed the brightness to higher and when I changed back the light was still there.

    Personally I would take it to the Apple Store cause the iPhone is still under warranty. You should try your carrier first if your not near an Apple Store and then go from there based on what help or lack of help they provide.
    Best of luck.

  • Does the iPhone 5 'light leak' affect function?

    I just recently received my white iPhone 5, and I have a small light leak near the power button along the bezel. Does this affect the function of the phone, such as the screen brightness? And Would Verizon replace it?

    There may be a possibility it could affect the function but not likely. I would call Apple and report it though as they may replace it, Verizon would send you straight to Apple. Being that this is still such a new product they like to capture new products with hardware problems.

  • Screen light leak!!!!!!

    hi there,
    i got an iphone 4, and it had replaced once aready about 2 months ago, there is a spot light leak on the bottom of the screen, when i just get it, it not really matter, but now the little spot becomes 'bigger', it is really obvious to see when the turn on and off my phone, that makes me SHOCKED by the "growing" light spot!!!!!
    i m wondering if i can get another replaced phone with perfect condition that would not disappoint me again!!!
    cheers

    It was bought from the online Apple Store.
    I'm just hoping that they'll do something about it; I know that there's some people that damage things themselves and try and return them, and it affects it for people that do have genuine claims like myself.
    One thing that pains me is that I got it as a graduation present from my parents, the second is that this is the THIRD iPod that I've had problems with over 2007 and 2008 (half way through last year my 30GB iPod's hard drive failed, it was only seven months old, and earlier this year my 1st generation iPod touch had to be replaced because it kept freezing). I guess I've just had bad luck, because I've always taken absolute care of my iPods...they've always been in cases, never been dropped, never been in a position where they could be damaged.

  • How do i fix light leaks in my photos?

    i have a light leak in my camera and my last roll of film has come out with lots of red stripes over the images, is there a plugin i can use for aperture to repair the photos? or any other suggestions would be great! thank you

    If you find a way to fix it by brushing in a curves adjustment that reduces the remand perhaps increase the contrast along the red stripes, you can save the adjustment as a preset. For photos taken with the same lens or zoom the light leak pattern will probably the same, so you start with the same preset.
    To save an adjustment use the "effects" menu in the Adjustment panel:

  • Light leaks

    I know in Premiere Pro, you can download light leaks and add them as an editing effect with an overlay, etc... Is this possible to do with Elements 11??

    I did so Googling to see what I could find in the way of "Light Leaks" effects,
    I came across one web site offering free ones that were described as "1080p HD clips".
    A "1080p HD clip" should import into Premiere Elements, provided the video and audio compressions of the file plus
    its file extension are supported by Premiere Elements. If this find is characteristic of what is out there with regard to
    these "Light Leaks" effects, then what we need to go after are the properties of these "1080p HD clips". They do not
    appear to be plug-ins, rather files imported (hopefully) into the project with the project's Add Media/Files and Folders.
    More later.
