ISight Camera Dead Pixels

When i placed the black cleaning cloth over the iMac 27" iSight Camera, i noticed only about 3 Dead pixels, and i wasn't too annoyed with that, but after using it more (i have only had the computer for 2 weeks) theres are becoming a larger number of messed up pixels. now i'm up to 8. does anyone know apple's policy on the number dead pixels before they do something about it?

19 dead pixels in Isight camera of new 27' imac i7

Hi there, I received my new Imac 27" i7 yesterday. I was very happy at first as I could not find any dead pixels however when I used my Isight camera I was very upset. I found a total of 19 dead + stuck pixels in the isight camera making it really unusable, I was shocked with this. How is it possible for there to be so many? Has anyone else checked their isight cameras? If you put a black cloth over it or if you are wearing a black top you will be able to see them much better. This is my first post so I'm sorry if I am taking over someone's thread.
I'm sorry I have posted the same post in several different topics but I could not work out how to post a question at first.
Apple said they are sending me a replacement but I am scared that it will have other problems now. But how can 19 pixels be possible is what baffles me?

I'm really upset guys, I got my replacement and I waited forever for it. Now it is even worse:
1. Isight has 16 dead/stuck pixels in it
2. Screen has several dead pixels
3. I have had a few issues with screen flickering/blackout
4. The computer is extremely slow compared to the first one even after the software update and the same things done to it, in particular Imovie is pretty much impossible to use now with the amount of lag.
5. Probably the worst as it is a physical defect: There is a tiny crack within the black glass border that I noticed straight away although it is small + The glass is not perfectly aligned so the silver chin sticks out on the left side.
Its going back, if next one is bad then I'm getting a refund for the time being. Oh and my first one was a week 46 and the replacement is a week 48 which was supposed to have resolved the issues...don't think so

My new iphone-5 isight camera has 2 or 3 red hot pixels. Is that a normal?

I bought (iPhone 5) 2 days ago and now I found out there's two or three Red color hot pixels on isight camera esp on rear camera in the dark. I just want to know other iphone5 has the same problem like mine or not.
Please help me out.

I suppose you could say I have/had the same problem.
My battery life on my 11" MBA is similar to your situation. I fully expected that the technician would find nothing wrong, as battery life varies. A perfectly functionaing battery can yeild quite different run-time expectancy, depending on the nature of the use of the device.
Some of the reposnders here have been using their experience with a 13" MBA, which has a much longer run-time, due to its higher battery capacity versus load ratio. "The 11-inch MacBook Air has a battery that lasts up to 5 hours, and the 13-inch model lasts up to 7 hours", according to Apple's battery testing protocol. The operative words in that description is "up to".
Maybe I am coming on a bit strong here, but this is what I have found after owning 3 MPP's and one MBA, is that battery charge longevity is wholly dependednt on how much load you put on the components by the nature of the use of that computer. By saying your manner of use is "Safari only", doesn't tell much. Safari itself doesn't use much in the way of resources, but the plug-ins and support applications it may use can easily add to the overall amperage draw by a factor of many times Safari alone. That in itself can mean the diffrence between 5 hours, and 3. The manner in which you use Safari, the way users here use Safari,and the manner in which Apple tests Safari for baatery longevity, is probably qite different. I doubt Apple even tests Safari with Flash, seeing how they dont't even include it anymore.
But hey, if Apple is willing to swap out the unit to give you peace of mind, and if it please you, then good for you! I hope that I am wrong about your situation, and all goes well.
BTW, I am greatly pleased with all my Macs, especially my MBA, which gets 5 hours battery when I use it lightly, and 3 hours quite often.

Hot / dead pixel elimination in later versions of Camera RAW

Hi!
I was wondering if we could get some under the hood info on how Camera RAW handles hot / dead pixels. The standard answer 'Camera RAW eliminates these automatically' does not apply I'm afraid. I've seen more and more of these stuck pixels in my final output over the last few CR versions. Now, it could be my camera showing its age, but I'd like to know more about how Camera RAW maps stuck pixels.
I've just re-developed a set of some stage performance from last year, Canon 5D Mark II, high ISO and pushed, yes, but thats my whole niche. There's stuck pixels in all of them in the same spots. So I wondered how camera raw handles the whole mapping / processing of hot pixels. The set of images are here, and there's access to full size images also: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvejerslev/sets/72157627732199199/ (I did clone out the stuck pixels on just a few of them though). It's a mix of processing version 2010 and 2012. Did not make a difference to the stuck pixels.
Mathias

Well, the issue with higher ISO images is: what's a hot pixel vs. what's a result of salt & pepper noise–those are different artifacts...
When you start ramping up the ISO (and use PV 2010 or 2012 without luminance noise reduction) the likelyhood of random bright (more or less) pixels (or subgroups of pixels) goes up.
The hot pixel fix is still in LR/ACR...but it becomes a battle between what's a hot pixel vs what's a result of camera noise...and ACR/LR tend to be very conservative when it comes to mapping out a hot pixel (or dead or constantly a certain color pixel).
ACR/LR can really only estimate what constitutes a hot pixel because there's no way of recording the XY position of a single pixel and telling it how to handle the mapping. It's an auto thing and as such it's subject to sometimes not working perfectly...
To really determine the issue, one (or Eric) would need an actual raw file–not something that's already been processed and resample. The more examples of ACR/LR not doing an optimal result the better the likelyhood somebody will look at doing something about it.

Dead Pixel 920 Camera

I have a dead pixel. It is not a dead pixel on my screen, but in my camera. I have one dead (purplish/blue pixel) that I noticed on an accidental black picture that I took. Basically, if you cover the lens and make an all black photo, you can zoom in and scan the pic for dead pixels. I found one on accident and now it's just going to annoy me.
Is this covered under a warranty? Should my carrier replace it? It's a big deal to me, with as many pictures as I take, but I don't know if it will be as big of a deal to them.
I'll attach the photo with the dead pixel. See if you can find it!
EDIT: I uploaded a second picture, circling the pixel in red.
Solved!

Hello friend , I'm sorry to say that you'll have some time dealing with employees who's gonna try hard not to fix your problem ,
but Follow these steps and hopefully a new replacement phone shall be yours.
reset the phone and take a photo (if the problem is still there and it most likely would) you've got the argument that it's not software related so if they anyone said we're gonna fix it tell them it's not software and that you demand a non defective unit.
Now you call the store you bought it from and demand a replacement as your unit is defective , If they refused or gave you a hard time , Tweet about it to @Nokiacare , Politness is key for these type of things so try to be as calm and happy about it as possible , mention the fact that you switched from Apple and insist that you bought in the PureView brand, If the Store didn't respond to you NokiaCare locations can be found on this website and again you could ask them for a replacement , If for any reason you failed in all these steps .
feel free to write the complete story and tweet the hell of it (users will help you too )
I hope you get a new one , good night .

N82 "dead pixel" during camera mode only. Please h...

Hi,
when i activate my camera, a "dead pixel" is visible on the top area.
I have done the following checks,
1) Its not a LCD dead pixel because it happens only during cam mode.
2) Its not dust because the pictures taken do not have this.
Hence can someone please advise what is wrong? It bugs me.

I have it too, and it is a dead pixel on the camera CCD chip. You can identify it by following: It's only visible in photo mode, not video. When you zoom in photo mode, it moves on the screen, i.e. stays at the same place in the picture. The reason why it is visible on the screen is probably the interpolation, which makes it appear bigger than it truly is. Also, it's invisible on the resulting photos, as it gets lost in the noise. I have experimented a bit and have managed to only get one photo under very specific circumstances where I could see it on the photo when zooming closely in.

Dead pixel of Camera!

I have problem in camera mode as well as in video mode when zooming at the last stage even lil more theres a small dot in middle of the camera. when i take pics it doesn't show that dead pixel but in videos it do show. I tried to clean my cam's lens feeling that this should be a problem but its not the lens problem.
Is this a common problem? Can NSC or NSU cure this problem?
Please reply for my posts also! Thanks in advance.

hi,
sorry to hear that, but i dont think it is very common, and i dont think NSU can help at all if it is indeed a dead pixel...

I 've had the newest iPad for about one week. Just started using face time..why does face time camera take pixelated pictures? The iSight camera pictures look fine.

Because something is wrong.
You will need to troubleshoot to find out what needs to be fixed.
One of these suggestions may resolve your trouble.
FaceTime (and other video) quality problems can be caused by problems at either end of the connection. Unless your video callers' FaceTime connections work properly with everyone else but you, both parities to the video call should consider these possibilities.
(1) Restart your iPad and test again. Sometimes a simple restart fixes things.
(2) Use a fast broadband internet connection for best possible FaceTime video.
Broadband speed matters at BOTH ends, so you use something like http://speedtest.net/ to test both ends of your video connections.
Speeds less than 300 Kbps (up and down) at both ends are unlikely to give best results.
(3) Try from a different wi-fi connection.
If the problem is ONLY at your current location, restarting your internet connection may help. Shut down your iPad or turn Airplane Mode "on". Then check your cable connections, restart your modem and wireless access point, reconnect iPad to the wi-fi, and test again.
If the problem remains but ONLY at your current location, there may be a problem with your internet service. Contact your ISP for help.
(4) Always use as much light as possible for best images (including video) from your iPad.

X220 came back from depot with one dead pixel on new replaced panel

I bought my X220 on May, 2011. It was working great up until last month when suddenly several dead pixels(around 5) appeared on the IPS panel. They were dark dots scattered on the mid bottom part of the display, and were invisible only on dark images. I tried various stuck pixel fixing programs for several hours with not good result.
I called the support number for Canada, explained the issue and immediately got a call number and a box was on the way.
Yesterday I received the X220 back after a week and half, which is quite fast for what I expected the service time to be in Canada. When I turn on the machine I immediately notice some backlight bleed on the bottom on the screen given that the old one didn't have any. I thought it would not bother me since I could only see it if displaying dark backgrounds, which is rare for me once in Windows. But I also notice one dead pixel on the mid bottom right of the screen, and it looks darker and bigger than the ones in the old screen. Anytime I'm looking at anything bright colored I see it.
As of now, while I'm at work the X220 is running UDpixel at home to see if it gets fixed. I was wondering if Lenovo would grant me another repair call seeing that the dead pixel bothers me more than the ones in the old panel, although it is only one.

@pacho,
You can try taking a picture of the screen showing the backlight bleed and try contacting support and see if they can get it replace again. Do let them know your previous case number as well.
Lenovo dead pixel policy here.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-69856
However I am not sure if it applies to IPS panels.

Mid 2009 13" MBP iSight camera bad picture quality in photo booth

My daughter's stock mid 2009 13" MBP 2.26 ghz intel core two duo has a problem with the isight camera. The isight camera is built in to the screen. The isight camera works some of the time flawlessly and other times it comes out real grainy and with small colored pixels all over the screen like colored static (about 20% to 30% of the photo booth screen is affected but the rest of the screen outside of the photo booth app is unaffected). She only uses it in photo booth but we've tried the iChat app and the same thing happens there too, once she couldn't get the MBP to connect to the isight camera (it just showed a black photo booth screen), so she closed the lid of her MBP and reopened it and it worked. All of the software and firmware is up to date and we've tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, it didn't do anything to fix the problem. It seems like there's a wire loose in the computer from the screen to the computer base, only because I can move the screen back and forth and the picture quality changes, the amount of static on the picture will move, go away or get worse. I had the screen changed in early 2010 (January or February) (the MBP was about 5 or 6 months old then) at the apple store under warranty due to dirt under the screen's glass (manufacturing defect). The photo booth picture static problem comes and goes, but here lately it comes more than it goes. The screen in general is in good shape and doesn't have any detectable problems with it, it has a good picture and no dead pixels, the problem seems to be only isolated to the isight camera. Can some one help with this problem? How long of a warranty is given on the warranty repairs (like the screen change they did in early 2010)? If apple does a repair on it and finds a wire that has rubbed the insulation off of it on a hinge causing a short and the isight problem, as a result of a sloppy repair from the first warranty repair, will they cover it under warranty again even if it's been over a year since they changed the screen? Also how honest will apple be if they do find out it is a problem caused from the first screen replacement, will they own up to their mistake? If I don't agree with apple's repair decision, can I get a second opinion from an outside source, third party, and if it's diagnosis different than apple's and can be proven, can I still get apple to do and pay for the repairs and labor if it turns out to be their fault from the first warranty screen replacement?
The reason why I'm asking is, I took my wife's white macbook in about a year ago for the famous cracked top cover replacement (under warranty) and when I got the computer back, the isight camera didn't work, so I gave it back, they took it apart a look at it and said there was nothing wrong with it and gave it back, then the screen wouldn't come on so after 4 hours at the Apple store they decided to send it to Austin, TX. for repairs (I'm in Ft. Worth TX.). Apple in Austin said it needed a new main board. They said the old one had water damage to it. We never had water anywhere near the computer, not even in the same room. It was working fine when we took it in, we took it in just to get the plastic top case, that cracks all of the time, replaced under warranty. And then they wanted us to pay for an $800 main board because some how while they were doing the top cover replacement it got water damaged. I argued with them and they finally gave me a one-time offer of them paying for half of the repair and labor or if I disagreed or left the store I would have to pay the whole amount if I chose to have the repairs done. So I ended up having to pay $467 for a year old macbook main board that was water damaged in their possession during their repairs. I like Apple and their products but I am worried about giving my daughter's MBP over to them for repairs because of this incident, it's an honesty issue with how honest they will be with what they find because they won't give back the old parts for analysis by a third party to verify their diagnosis.
Thanks for any info and advice anyone can give.

Hi,
As a personal note I find long posts like this hard to read if they are not broken up in to paragraphs.
As I say it is a personal thing.
I can give you some information about the camera and laptops over the past few years.
Basically in early Laptops of the MacBook Pro and MacBook range the cable did tend to fray at the point where it passed through the hinge. It did take a well used laptop that had the lid open and closed frequently to cause this. (your 2009 model might just be in that group - I have no firm dates or models I am afraid)
Later models have this rerouted so that this does not happen.
However the cable has then tended to get pulled from the camera end and become loose.
This On Line Self fix site has pages about some models (The one I have linked to may not be yours)
I have linked in to later pictures in the sequence but there are navigation points to work back to the start.
Note:- they use pretty specifc specialest tools as well in these pics.
Doing this would certail Void any Warranty you have left.
From Posts mainly in the iChat and the iSight areas I have gathered that it seems common for Apple to replace the Screen as a whole rather than fiddle with getting solely at the camera.
Apple has this article on Trouble Shooting an iSight
Basically it says try several apps then try logging in on another Mac User account to see if it is App based or User based or in fact System wide.
If System wide then resetting the SMC/PMU is the only suggested fix. (Which I did read you had done)
In addition to that I would add that testing should be done in different lighting conditions.
Lighting in the evening or dark that is good enough to read buy is not always good enough for the camera or is not illuminating the right areas.
Some people have reported that Starting the computer in Safe Mode (then Rebooting afterwards) seems to help. (it clears out some caches and starts up with reduced extensions)
As to actual Repairs and any Warranty that may still be in place I cannot say.
I can say that when people post about problems with repairs a certain stores someone else will tend to post that their experience was different.
You seem to report two different experiences with the two computers yourself.

New iMAC 27" dead pixels

i got delivery of my first mac, iMac 27" high spec machine and it had three dead pixels.. one phone call to apple and ivw got to say, there service is second to none.. straight away they arranged a second one to be made and delivered, and the first one picked up. i got my second iMAC within two weeks of the phone call.
then the second one had specs of dust under the glass!!! Again, exceptional after sales and im sitting here waiting for my third iMAC to be delivered..
half of me thinking am i being too fussy, but for the £2500 ive spent i expect perfection and apple agree.
anyone who has these issues, if your patient like me, apple have made my problems simply stress free, and im praying the third one is perfect..
my question.. am i being to fussy? three dead pixels , then dust under glass... i mainly do photographic tweaking on the imac so i hope you dont think so??

hi mark wania, i dont think you are fussy. you have the right to ask for replacement because you pay everything for it. i dont see anything wrong. i have similar problem with dead pixels.
do you know how much i have to spend for an iMac in Malaysia? you times the figure with 3.6. and that is about a month salary for a regular executive.
i have spoke to JUDE on this issue. it is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE that apple support set a number of tolerable defect to them. they mentioned about at least 11 pixels to enable me to get a replacement. I am talking about product defect. it does not matter to me whether it is 11 pixels, 100 pixels or even 1. I pay for the price and I am expecting a good product and kind service.
to me, apple should addressed this manufacturing or delivery issue properly.
I have done what the support team asked me to do yesterday and it seems that this is nothing to do with software, drivers or even operating system. I am going to call for a replacement or repair tomorrow as i need to check other thing as well like iSight camera. it sounds like more and more people having defect items. those comments make me feels bad that I might have chosen the wrong computer manufacturer.

Built in iSight camera no longer showing up or recognized by iMac

Hello there - I have a white 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with a built in iSight camera, and the camera is no longer showing up, or is not recognized by the computer any longer. Very strange! The little green LED by the camera is not lit any longer, and the camera is not recognized any longer by Photo Booth, iChat AV, or any of the other apps that would use the camera. This is a real pain, because I am leaving for France in a couple days and am taking my MacBook Pro with me, and am hoping that I can use iChat AV to talk to my kids at home on the iMac. I do have an extra iSight camera that I have hooked up to the iMac and can use in a pinch, but I really want to use the built in camera on the iMac. Any hints / ideas / suggestions on what to do for this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

No, unfortunately that did not help. I did the following...
1. See if the issue is application-specific. - Nope. Camera is not recognized in any of the apps that it should be recognized in, I tested iChat AV, PhotoBooth, ImageCapture, and iMovie.
2. See if the issue is user-specific. - There's only one user account on this Mac, so I couldn't do that.
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight. I went into System Profiler and checked the USB profiler, and the camera does not show up.
4. Reset SMC or PMU. These just looked like different ways of restarting, which I did multiple times.
I have also run my Software Updates (on OS 10.5, which I did with a clean install from an OS 10.5 DVD by the way) and still no camera. This problem started happening with the original OS 10.4 (which it came with) and I was hoping a clean install of the OS would help, but no.
I'm wondering if resetting the PRAM might help, but I can't remember those keys you hold down while restarting (was it Apple-Option-P-R ?) or if that is just reaching waaaaay back to the pre OSX days.
Here's the kicker though - if I plug in a FireWire iSight camera, all is well. I'm really hoping that the camera isn't jsut dead, but it's starting to look that way. Would Disk First Aid or maybe DiskWarrior help?

Does my warranty cover the repair of dead pixels?

Hi everyone!
First time posting on these discussion boards and have a question regarding my MBP. I purchased this retina display 15 inch macbook pro last year in October and pretty much fell in love with it. This is my first time buying a mac product having previously been a windows user. I started noticing that a few of the pixels have died, showing no colour, standing out in white. It began with just one but now I have 5 small clusters showing quite noticeably. I do know that it came with a warranty and it's not even been a year yet, can I return this for repair? Any help would be appreciated!
Krishna

One: Buy AppleCare for your system before the one year mark. That extends the 1 year warranty to 3 and extends phone support to 3 years as well. But the "one year from purchase" deadline is rarely waived.
Two: Go to the Genius Bar and ask them. We are just users like you, and anything we say does not guarantee what Genius Bar will do. I have heard from other posters that apple has a minimum number dead pixels that are just considered "acceptable", but then my memory is even older than I am.
Good luck.

Dead pixel on brand new laptop

Hi,
I have just purchased a laptop HP pavilion g6 2229TU and discovered a dead pixel. From another thread on this forum, I came to know that I can get a 14 days replacement. However, I have purchased a plan for two years extended warranty that had to register the serial number - how is that still going to be valid?

Where did you buy it? If you have to take it back like to Best Buy they can just transfer the extended warranty to the replacement unit.

Problems with stuck/dead pixels, battery life, ICS, and other problems

Stuck/Dead Pixels:
I bought my Droid Razr at around the 21st of December last year. On or around Christmas, I found a bright red pixel on the very bottom of my screen. Unlucky for me, I was leaving for Florida on Christmas Night. I got back on December 31st. Sometime in the first week of this year, I visited my verizon store and told the customer service lady that I had a dead pixel on my screen and had just bought it. But, she told me that she needed the manager to fix this and there was no manager there. For the next week I was busy with school and sports etc and was not able to go back to the store. It was now past my 14 day return period. So I decided, its only one pixel, most people won't notice it anyway. So here I am 5 months later, just starting to discover more pixels dying on my screen. I now have the one bright red one, two light blue ones, and one dark red. I have no idea what the return policy is on defective phones, and the verizon site is designed so that you can't find anything. And an FYI, I have tried stuck pixel removers and other apps, which haven't been successful.
Battery Life:
I have also been finding more problems with my phone. The battery life is terrible when 4G and even 3G are on. I actually see no difference in battery consumption between 3G/4G. My battery dies about 4-5X faster when data is turned on, compared to using no data. I know it isn't because of the apps I installed since when I use WiFi, the battery is alright. I also make sure that my RAM isn't above 400MB, so that the processor doesn't use a lot of battery. I feel like I completely wasted my money buying the Razr. Mainly because of the fact that the Razr Maxx was announced two weeks later, which has about 80% more battery. Not only this, but I've seen the Razr selling for only ONE PENNY on amazon over the past month and it still is. I payed $300 on my Razr.
Ice Cream Sandwich:
After these major problems comes another one, that I bet all Razr and Razr Maxx customers are still thinking about. When will I get Ice Cream Sandwich? It is very disappointing when you are told that you will be getting an upgrade in early 2012, and are still wondering where your upgrade is 5 full months in. From what I understand, we won't see an upgrade until the end of June, since Motorola has posted on their website that "rollouts" would begin in the second quarter. Even if they release it by the end of June, when will it get to your phone? Maybe another week or two for some people. This is another thing that I feel I wasted my money on. My brother told me to get the Nexus because of ICS, but I trusted Motorola that they would upgrade my phone in a timely manner. WRONG.
Phone Freezing:
One more problem that I've had is that the phone will freeze. Usually you only need to turn the screen off and on, but once in a while, you have to completely reboot your phone. When I was coming back from Florida, right as I was about to get home, my phone completely froze. I was about to go return it, but after about 15-20 minutes, it became unfrozen.
Motion Sensor not functioning:
Another problem, an annoying one, is that sometimes the motion sensor that controls portrait and landscape mode will just stop working. Some of the games I play are completely dependent on the motion sensor. It is very embarrassing when you are trying to show off to an iPhone friend and major components of your phone aren't working. They always tell me "why didn't you get an iPhone?". And I really just wanted to have a phone that didn't look like everyone else's, but I guess that comes at a cost. When the motion sensor stops working, I have to shut down my phone and restart, which takes a couple minutes.
Problems with camera:
My last problem would be with the camera. Sometimes if you bring the camera close to something, like a barcode, it will keep trying to focus, but never will. Another problem is photo quality in low light situations. It seems like the camera can't focus because it goes from being very dark into being bright because of the flash. I doubt this can be fixed because it's hardware, but a potential fix could be having the option to keep the LED light on during picture mode, that way the camera will be able to focus correctly.
In Conclusion:
I really just want someone to tell me how to return my phone for a new one, due to the dead pixels. I also wish I could be upgraded to the Razr Maxx because of the poor battery life on the Razr, but from what other people are saying, that probably won't happen. And finally, if anyone has more info about Ice Cream Sandwich, that would be awesome.

Well since it's a Manufacturing Error it should Fall under your Warranty if you got one with your Razr. You know you can Call C.S. an they can Assist you with the Matter on it.. Just remember to have another phone so they can Trouble shoot the One that is Experiencing the Issue an when you talk to them go over thing. An they should send you C.G.A.N unless they request you to send it in before you get anther one. If you feel Better going to the Store try that. And Good Luck..
