Ipod touch - Glittery screen !

Does your IPT screen look "glittery" with full brightness on a black background?
Picture (it shows more than you can see in real life) - you have to look really close to see it in person.
It's not dead pixels (or stuck), there's one stuck pixel on the picture tho, but i'm talking about all the "glitter"... Seems like the backlight is getting trough some of the pixels (which it shouldn't) I've seen pictures on IPT that doesn't have this problem
Do you got this?

Its NOT dead or stuck pixels.....I posted before about 'green sparkles'.
They are microscopic particle which catch the backlight....they vary in size (pixels do not) and as you angle the screen they come and go and also change colour from red to green to blue at the specs sit over different sub-pixels dependant on screen angle and viewers eye line.
A stuck sub-pixel will remain lit and very obviouse on a black screen regardless of angle and backlight brightness. Some people maybe really unlucky and have both but they are distinctly different. One is a screen fault Stuck/dead pixels) and one (the sparkles) are an assembly issue. I have an 8gig week 38 and a 16 gig week 38 one is a 1D38 and one a 1A38. I also had the thought that the particles may be present in the coatingon the front membrane of the LCD and a manufacturing fault direct from whoever makes these screens for apple. I have kept both units as they are only noticable on max backlight (that washes out the blacks) and with your nose pressed against the screen. Trust me having had 3 MacbookPro's with stuck pixels and 2 Macbooks with the same i'm well aware what they look like and this particular issue is NOT stuck or dead pixels.

    Did you purchase your iPod Touch second hand or direclty from the Apple Store? I would recommend that you go back to the Apple Store and show them both devices in action so that they can advise you closely.

  • My iPod touch 8GB screen has been cracked. It is still under the Wal-Mart 2 year extended warranty, but I really want 5th generation! Any way to get it replaced then return it for money back or even get a discount on it??

    My iPod touch 8GB screen has been cracked. It is still under the Wal-Mart 2 year extended warranty, but I really want 5th generation! Any way to get it replaced then return it for money back or even get a discount on it??

    Apple will only give you a 10% discount if you turn that one in and purchase the new one.
    I do not know if the WalMart warranty covers accidental damage like a broken screen.

  • Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, setings screen for imessage is not up

    Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, settings screen for imessage doesn't give me options to turn it on or off

    Hello ecaseywage,
    For issues activating iMessage on your iPod touch, take a look at the article below to walk you through getting it resolved. I would start with making sure that you have the date and time set correctly as well as making sure you are online. Because you said that you cannot turn it off, try restarting your iPod touch to see if can be turned off afterwards. 
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime

  • My ipod touch's screen partly frozen?

    My ipod touch's screen only works in the top left corner where I've got the accessibility helper button (my home button only works with a lot of pressure). I am unable to turn it off, and I haven't got my ipod charger right now- it also wouldn't help at the moment -Should I wait for my ipod to die so It will turn off and recharge it later? Or what do you guys think would help? Also, the touch screen always works, until now. ^The accessibility button menu is open but half-off of the screen, yet It's the only part of the screen that is touch-able. Help please~

    The warranty does not cover accedental damage like a broken screen.  However, some time the Genius at the Genius Bar of an Apple store will replace the iPod at not cost.  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar and ask. If not under warranty, Apple will exchange yours for:

  • Ipod Touch 4G Screen Cracked

    My Ipod Touch 4G screen has cracked. I got it as a Christmas gift  in 2010. Will Apple replace the screen? And how much will it cost?

    If you're garanty is still good, you just need to send your Ipod Touch to Apple or bring it to the store. Useally, Apple gives you a replacement for free. But if you're garanty is expired, i don't know. Probably, you'll need to pay to repair your Ipod Touch.
    Hope it helps.
    There might some cases, in which Apple did that, but the fact remains:
    Apple's Limited Warranty for iPod excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, liquid damage, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications. Please review the warranty for further details. When a service is not covered under the warranty, Apple will return your original iPod to you without providing service, and may hold you responsible for shipping costs, plus any applicable sales tax.
    An iPod that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPod that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
