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 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 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 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:

  • Too much dead pixels

    My MacBook Pro is infested with many many dead pixel patches. Its not like one or two its more like 20 or 30. Everywhere. What can I do about this? Is it possible for Apple to excahnge it for a new one right away or theyre gonna take mine and fix it?

    My experience with Apple warranty service is that, short of a DOA machine within the first 30 days of ownership, they are going to try to fix it first before they offer any replacement. That said, my experience with AppleCare service has been repairs in as little as 4-5 days, and that included the shipping time to and from the repair facility in Texas (from Virginia).

  • Does Apple's warranty cover dead pixels on the iPhone 4S?

    I received my iPhone 4S in the mail today and a few hours after I had been using it I noticed a tiny dot on the screen. At first I ignored it, thinking it would go away, but it hasn't. I searched what the problem was and found out it is a dead pixel. Like I said it's very small but it really bothers me every time I watch a video or take a picture. If I take it to my local apple store, will the warranty cover this?

    The warranty should cover it if it is a defect in manufacture.  In any case, you are covered by the 30 day trial return period.

  • 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.

  • IPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor and Dead Pixels

    Today I went down to my carrier HQ. (Singtel, Singapore).
    I went to spoke to the person at the iPhone servicing counter.
    He told me that my iPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor has been triggered and it's now out of warranty.
    And my purpose is there, to have my iPhone exchange as my home button is getting unresponsive at times.
    And he told me that this is under Apple policy. When I purchase the phone, the salesperson didn't even told me about the policy and I wasn't aware of that.
    So the main point is my iPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor and I didn't even drop it into any liquid, I don't know why but it's just unfair for me as an end user.
    Question here, will playing apps like Ocarina activate the iPhone LSS? Only my bottom LSS is triggered, the top one isn't.
    Also to recall, at the point when I'm buying my iPhone 3G last year, out of the box there is already a dead pixel and the person refuse to change a new set for me.
    I'm in need of an iPhone urgently, anybody can tell me what to do?

    Ocarina could trigger the water sensor since you could spit into the dock connector while blowing into the mic.

  • Dead pixel in iphone 4s

    I have one DEAD PIXEL in my iphone 4s. So can it be resolved? As it irritates me while watching any of the videos or going through any of photos. Please help me out on this. what to do/?

    Apple has a strict policy regarding dead pixels, and the death of a single pixel will generlly not be addressed by Apple.  However, you're free to visit an Apple store or AASP, for further guidance.  You may be able to find a third-party to replace the display, and you'll be liable for the costs incurred.

  • Apple wont replace my iPhone (dead pixel)

    i just got off the phone with iPhone support and they said they wouldn't replace my phone... I have a dead pixel and the guy said it had to be more then one pixel to "be a problem"
    So my one dead pixel that i notice every time i look at my phone isn't a problem? whats up with that?
    I love apple to death but come on... i spent $600 on this phone and your not gonna help me out?

    It's a tough thing to hear but any company that manufactures an LCD anything will usually tell you that dead pixels are just a part of the hardware and you typically need several for it to be considered defective. This is what you'll get from any MP3 or monitor manufacturer.
