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.

  • IPhones 3GS dead pixel and bad sound quality

    As i was going through some photos i notice a small white dot then looking closer to the screen i recently notice about 4 dead pixels and also when playing music through headphones the sound quality is not clear. I tested my iphone and a ipod touch with the same song and the results were the ipod touch had better sound than my phone. Can apple fix this?? Thanks

    As for dead pixels, Apple considers a small number as unavoidable with LCD displays and covers only a "high number" under the warranty. Apple would have to inspect the phone and determine if it's a covered defect. Make an appointment with an Apple Store Genius Bar.

  • Iphone 3GS Dead maybe...

    I read through different threads about people with dead iphones and only came on when doing the hard reset. If an iPhone is in this dead state should it still be recognised by a computer or display charging screen?
    Reason i ask is that my iPhone 3GS could have a dodgy power button i had trouble with it for quite a while sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. This could be a reason why the hard reset will not work for me. At moment i iPhone doesn't get recognised by computer or display any charging screen.
    Thanks, If the power button is the culprit is there any other way to do hard reset? or fix a power button without opening the case?

    ok different quesiton lol if booked an appointment at the genius bar and told them the power button is not working so i cant hard reset it to turn it on, would they open the iphone and check the power button there and then ? or send it off?

  • IPhone 5 Dead pixel or Dust? Need HELP!!!

    Hi guys,
         I'm getting paranoid with the one tiny black dot on the screen of my one month old iPhone 5, I don't know if it is a dust/speck or dead pixel inside the screen. I can notice it with white backround or any light colored background. I am very familiar with the stuck pixel, but this is the first time I encounter suspected dead pixel. Can anyone tell me how to determined/differentiate a dead pixel or dust inside the screen? I also check the screen on sleep mode, as far as I can see there was no dust on that area.
         Additionally my iPhone has a rattle near the rear camera like clinging sound, how true that is it really normal? They say it's the camera autofocus mechanism??
    Thank you,

    Alright. Whenever I tilt the phone on any side the dark dot sometimes change color like green, black, red. I wonder why i can't even see it right in front display (like normal holding the phone when reading texts or emails). I can barely see it when tilting to different angles. What do you think it is? Sad to say there was no apple store in our country to dropped by and to check my phone by an expert ot technician.
    Appreciate your help dude..

  • IPhone 5 Dead Pixel Warranty Question?

    Hey guys! So I have an iPhone 5 with a bunch of dead pixels/dust sort of near the top.... My situation is somewhat unique, so I wanted to see what you guys thought! This iPhone 5 was in warranty just couple of months ago, where they replaced the screen glass. Now that these dead pixels/dust are on the screen (probably due to the 'repair' as they weren't there prior.) will they still cover it since it was something they caused right at the end of my 1 year warranty? Obviously I can create an appointment and find out, which I probably will, but I wanted to see if anyone had some insight on this! I don't want to make a trip just to find out they will do nothing for me....
    Thanks guys!

    Obviously you didn't read what I said. And if what you have to say doesn't matter then don't say it. Let me say it again for you, since you obviously failed to read it the first time. I don't want to make the extra trip if it isn't needed, I was looking to see if others have experienced this issue and what were the outcomes of them to avoid going to the Apple store and having a bad outcome. Not eveyone lives right next to an Apple store.
    Thanks for the help though!

  • Iphone has dead pixels!?

    hello to all: my iPhone has a couple if dead pixels and is especially bothering when I am watching my favorite podcast: tekzilla! What should I do and who should I call? Also: what are some good ways to clean the screen? I never got the cleaning cloth, and I bought from AT&T!

    Hello iMac,
    First off, I would have gone back to the store where you purchased the iPhone and got the cloth! No huge deal, but hey, you did pay for it. I bought the iKlear kit from the Apple Store. It is AWESOME! You get several cloths a chamois and of course the small pump bottle of iKlear! When I apply the liquid, it feels like the iPhone is like getting a wax detailing. It feels so SMOOTH while applying and afterwards. Highly recommend the iKlear Kit!
    Regarding the pixels, how long have you had your iPhone? Options:
    1. If less than 15 days, bring it back and get a new one.
    2. Make an appointment with an Apple Genius to review the situation. He may be able to fix on site, or recommend it go in for service, at which time you will be offered a loaner until yours returns.
    Good Luck!

  • IPhone with Dead Pixel

    Hey i have a dead pixel and i jsut got my replacment iPhone on monday and i dont know if i should call and get a replacment...
    what should i do?

    I think you need more than one to get it replaced. I went through 8 months with my original iPhone having 1 stuck pixel and Apple wouldn't do anything. Just have to learn to live with it.

  • IPhone 4 dead pixels patch?

    I've recently noticed a radius of brighter pixels on the top right part of my iPhone 4. I think this is known as 'dead pixels'. it covers quite a patch of the top right corner of the screen. how can I get this problem resolved? will apple replace it for another, my warranty has expired, so am I out of luck?
    When I put pressure on the patch, it makes a jelly puddle momentum, just like when you put pressure of a laptop screen, you get that jelly puddle.
    Just to confirm, is it dead pixels that I've got? or would dead pixels black out on the screen and be unreadable when you touch in that area?
    thanks for your help -

    A dead pixel doesn't receive any power & thus will generally always appear black. A stuck pixel receives power & thus shows color, but the color never changes.

  • Iphone 3GS dead

    HELP MY IPHONE 3GS IS TOTALLY DEAD tried all no success ..

    So do I and unless its a recent purchase from O2 or whomever, you will either have to ask them to send it away which takes ages even if they agree to do it, or make a trip to an actual store.
    Its not that far to an Apple store unless you live in Stornoway

  • IPhone 6 Dead Pixel

    Is this a dead pixel? Sorry the photos aren't that great.

    Hard to tell. Get your device checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or visit an Apple Store next to your place and let them check the screen.
    You can also contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • Iphone 3gs dead- help!!! see more details below.

    I have a iphone 3gs- I had the old operating system so I tried to upgrade it.My phone is unlocked and jail broken.
    I tried to plug it in itunes and see if i can restore it. The computer/itunes did pick up that an iphone was connected and said I need to restore it. When the restore finished, it said ''the software for the iphone was corrupted during download'' I tried the restore couple of times, no luck.
    I tried to charge it from a wall charger and from the computer as well. Still no luck.
    I tried the hard reboot as well- hold the on/off button and the centre button together for a min...no luck here again!
    Any ideas? Thanking you in advance!

    When I bought the phone from someone, I got it that way- didnt know all this technicalities of jail breaking then. Now I know!!!
    Hence, i'm trying to restore the phone, and bring it back to factory settings so that it becomes un-jail broken!
    Thanks for replying! will follow your link ans see what happens!

  • Dust under Iphone 3GS screen ... or dead pixel?

    I picked up my Iphone 3GS from my local AT&T store this morning. I was very excited, as this is my first Iphone product. Almost immediately, I noticed a small black dot about 2/3 of the way up from the bottom of the screen, and smack-dab in the middle (horizontally). At first I thought it was a dead pixel (I have a long history with these and they drive me nuts). However, after further examination, I think this may be something else (a spec of dust perhaps). I say this because the dot is visible even when the phone is powered off. Furthermore, under bright light (when the screen is off), the dot appears to cast a "shadow" on the screen. What should I do? Is there a good way to determine if this is a dead pixel or dust? To get the phone serviced, should I return to my local AT&T store, or go to my local Apple store?

    My first had dead pixels, the second had dust. They on the second one wouldn't let me switch it out because I am too picky. Well, when I've spend close to 10k with apple over the last year, I think I have every right considering the price they command on their products.
    I wouldnt go to a dealership and buy a band new car that had had one or two rims curbed and take it home happy. It is still driveable, and nothing that would ruin the car but you get the point.
    So now I'm on the phone trying to have them ship one out to me. I wish the apple store by me would get new management.

  • I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone.  The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality
