Light bleeding issue help

I have had my ipad for almost 4 months now and i had this light bleeding issue since i first purchased but now i find it a problem when i look at pictures and watch videos. I have also got a few dents as last week my daughter dropped the ipad from both sides so the corners on the Ipad  are dented so if i take my ipad to the genius bar for repair i feel nervous that they might think the dents caused the light bleeding so i wanna know if my 8 month warranty will help my ipad become repaired or replaced.

The warranty does not cover accidental damage.
That said the only way you will know if your warranty will remain in effect as to the light bleeding even with the dents is to visit the Apple store and find out.

  • Is the iPad 2 light bleeding issue fixed yet?

    Did Apple finally fix the issue of light bleeding from under the bezel or are defective iPad 2s
    still being sold?
    Anybody knows?
    Regards

    Hey everyone,
    Just purchased my iPad 2 yesterday from the Apple Store in Birmingham. It was the last one left in the store so you can imagine how happy I was to get one finally! However I have also noticed mine is suffering from this backlight bleeding problem, in quite a few spots around the screen. I also have either a couple of dead pixels or a large piece of dust stuck under the glass in the middle of the screen, which is equally annoying. Will Apple exchange this for me? Should I ring up the nearest Apple store and see what they'll do? I love this device and just wanna get on and use it, but for the money I'm paying I don't think I should put up with defects. What's everyone's advice?

  • Does the iPad 2 still have issues with light bleeding/yellowing?

    Hi,
    I placed an order for an iPad 2 back in April but cancelled the order when I heard about initial quality control issues such as light bleeding/yellowing.  However, I am keen to buy a iPad 2.  Could anyone who bought an iPad 2 more recently (say, since mid May) advise whether they too have had these issues?  I can't afford to spend £500+ on a device that doesn't work like it's supposed to.
    Thanks!
    Tony

    Hi there Tony!
    All iPads should work as expected, to have a fault with one is usually a random, and rare event. Your iPad will probably be perfect, only a few out of a very large number have defects.
    However, if your iPad does not meet your standards when you purchase it, I would take it to the local Apple Store. You receive a 1 year limited warranty, and they will be happy to replace it if any defects occur.
    Hope that put your mind at rest.

  • Anyone have an iPad 2 where the light bleed isnt an issue?

    I am wanting to see if anyone is getting iPad 2's that don't have the light bleed problem

    There have already been threads with this same topic.
    See, for example, this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13222003&#13222003

    Needless to say, there is little incentive to post about non-problems.

  • Planning to Buy iPad-3 concerned about Backlight Bleeding issue !

    Hi Guys,
    I am planning to buy the iPad-3, BUt with so many issues of Backlight Bleeding issues popping up. It looks a Rampant issue. Do you guys think I should wait some days before the First Batch of Munfacturing is sold out. Maybe once the Second Batch of production hits the stores this problem would not be there. But at the moment looks like Early Production and the Hasty process to get the Products out on Launch day and ready for delivery could have been the reason these issues slipped out of Quality Control. Do I wait like a month or so? I can do that, will waiting a month help ? I hope I dont get it in my iPad. I dont wanna go through the hassles of exchanging and stuff I would rather wait and buy a little late than go through these issues.
    Cheers !

    Augustya, you are always free to wait until another round of hardware becomes available if you are concerned about problems people are having.
    I would point out, though, that the discussion group is often looked at as an emergency room in a hostpital...you see only problems because no one healthy goes there.  You can get a false sense of the magnitude of problems if you only look at the number of complaints showing up here.
    On the news last night they said Apple sold over 3 million iPads last weekend...the couple dozen problems brought up on here is insignificant out of 3 million items.  Another way of looking at the magnitude of the problem.
    So if you have the ability to buy now, you can always go to the store, Apple if that is what you have available, open the iPad there, check it out (they come charged) and see if there is a light bleed problem.  If so complain on the spot and ask for a different unit.
    Or wait for another round to be manufactured...just do what you are most comfortable doing.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Light bleed on screen - is this acceptable / normal for this screen?

    Hi all,
    I wonder if someone could give me some advice as to whether the light bleed I'm experiencing on my Yoga 2 Pro is 'acceptable'. It doesn't bother me in normal day to day tasks like office work, email, web browsing but it's pretty distracting when watching videos in a dark / dim room, particularly where the video itself contains dark scenes or letterboxing.
    I've done a bit of searching on the web it seems that black light bleed is a pretty common issue with these types of displays.
    The following photos were taken on a DSLR in a totally dark room whilst running a video of complete black on youtube:
    Brightness 100% - overexposed a bit in camera to show main areas of light bleed. The lower right corner is the most severe. Light bleed is also quite prevalent along the bottom of the screen.
    Link to image 1
    Brightness 70-80% - exposed to represent as closely as possible what i see when watching the black video in a dark room.
    Link to image 2
    Brightness at 50%
    Link to image 3
    Would this light bleed warrant a return? I bought this from John Lewis in the UK and they have an excellent returns policy. I do love the laptop but the light bleed is pretty annoying. I've seen some images of other peoples light bleed and I worry that if I was to get this replaced I may end up with one with much worse light bleed than what I currently have.
    Any thoughts and advice would be most appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Ok, I think I have identified the source of the light bleed from the top right corner.  It seems that whatever they use to glue the panel down to the backing has loosened.  If I press down on the top left corner of the screen it is rock solid.  If I press down on the top right side where the light bleed is it flexes downward.  When I push down on the border the light bleed disappears.
    So it would appear I don't have a panel problem, I have a glue problem.  Bummer.  Will contact Lenovo today.  Hopefully getting this fixed won't involve sending my Y2P into some shop for 3 weeks.
    The light bleed sucks but what concerns me more is that the panel's integrity seems to be failing and could get worse.  I hope Lenovo has a local shop that can take a look at this.

  • I am having trouble with exchange account connection .the vpn connects fine but the exchange account is still showing the yellow light .can anyone help?

    i am having trouble with exchange account connection .the vpn connects fine but the exchange account is still showing the yellow light .can anyone help?

    I had a similar problem.  Here is how I resolved the issue.
    1.  Remove Network Connect
    2. Run Terminal and remove /usr/local/juniper and everything within the juniper directory.
    3. Reboot the machine and reinstall Network Connect
    4. Test if you can now connect.
    During removal, you may encounter permission denied error, you will need to change the permission to 777.  For example "sudo chmod 777 nc".

  • Can someone post a pic of a new iPad with no light bleeding

    If you have an iPad with no light bleeding can you post a pic. I don't believe they exist

    I have it but not horribly. I have resigned myself to wait until the mad rush for the iPad2 is over and see how they resolve the issue. Reminds me of the iPhone4 camera problem with white balance. Eventually they solved it. At that point I took mine (iPhone) back (several months later)and they still replaced it without questions. I am suspecting they will do the same with the iPads.

  • What Apple told me about iPad 2 light bleeding

    When I went to the store, the genius told me that the light bleeding will do away over time because of the glue drying. Is this true, did anybody have any luck?

    iPad 1's have light leakage. This is not a new issue and is most noticeable when watching a movie in the dark and it's a dark scene. At least I experienced this with my iPad Wifi (which I later returned) and then also my iPad WiFi + 3G (which I ebayed). I can't speak for my iPad 2 because it's still in China probably being assembled. I will say that the light leakage issue was definitely annoying for me and Apple really did not have a solution for the problem. What's really going to be interesting is to see whether the white iPad (which is the model I purchased) has any light leaking through the white border around the screen. We shall see.

  • My iPad 2 has light bleeding problem, service center guy told me it's a known cosmetic problem, can't do exchange...

    My iPad 2 has light bleeding problem, I called Technical Support Number (Singapore), they told me to go to an Apple authorized service centre in Singapore. So I travel an hour to there, then they told me to contact Apple online since it's a cosmetic problem, they can't send it for repair or exchange...

    Hi Peter,
    There are always issues with the screen on devices. In the case of slight bleeding, one QC engineer might pass the product while another might not, due to color and lighting perception differences between engineers.
    Different service centre will have different service levels due to the fact that this IS Singapore...
    I suggest going down to QCD.

    If it's a Starhub or Singtel set, it's more effective to be exchanging with them since it's not been a week since purchase (I assume).
    Cheers!

  • IPad 2 LCD light bleed who else has it?

  • Light bleed.

    There are many complains about Toshiba Excite 10 tablets having a lot of light bleed. I noticed it as well on a few tablets I tested in Best Buy and other places. Do you guys have the light bleed on your units? Is Toshiba aware of this issue and trying to fix it?
    Thank you,
    malutki

    For some people the problem is a little more severe and I can certainly understand the frustration , especially when you've paid a premium price above the competition that doesn't have the problem. I hope Toshiba doesn't think that light bleeding is natural occurrence associated with LCD technology like those incompetent manufactures who think its justified to have dead pixels.
    What causes light bleed anyway?

  • Back-light bleeding on new iPad 4 replacement

    G'day their;
    Yesterday I went into the Apple Store to get an iPad 4 replaced due to back-light bleeding in the corner of the iPad of which was quite prominent; this is a picture of the iPad that was replaced, the brightness of the screen is at around 60%:
    The man that I had an appointment with understood my scenario and replaced my iPad on the spot, even though the iPad only had one major spot which had back-light bleeding.
    I then went home, and checked out the new iPad that was replaced whether or not it had back light bleeding, and shockingly, it was even worse, the brightness is at 90%;
    Naturally, I was quite annoyed, called up the Apple Store and explained my situation, the man told me to make an appointment - their wasnt any available appointments until the week after, I then asked if I could come in and simply wait for an available appointment, he said yes - was happy. Went into the Apple Store today, waited 2 hours, and I was served by a young lady. I explained my situation, showed her numerous photos of this iPad as well as the one that was replaced, I explained how irritating it is to watch movies on my iPad as I'm continously looking at the light bleeding - she then took it into the back and ran diaognistics on the iPad. The lady came back to me and said that their is nothing wrong with the iPad in regards to software and hardware - I asked her if she tested the iPad in a dark room - she had told me she did her best to do so. I explained that, in comparison to my sisters iPad 4, hers has absoultely NO backlgiht bleeding compared to mine - and emphasised that the iPad that was replaced was not as bad compared to this new replacement. I still have the protective seal on this iPad too!
    She explained to me that, psychologically, "I'm looking for this problem, as it happened to my previous iPad, so naturally I'm anal about it", well yeah - then she said to me that my "eyes can play tricks on me as well" - Well, my camera doesn't play tricks? Basically what ever I had said, I was dissed - I said so I basically need to deal with this, she responded "Yeah, basically" - I asked her what options do I have to get this repaired/replaced - she said we can only 're-access' the situation in the future - I asked if over time the back-light bleeding will reduce, she said no, it can coincidently only get worse...
    I find it hard to see the logic in this?
    Any help would greatly be appreciated! Sorry for the extended response too.
    Regards
    EDIT:
    I have now attached an image of the new replacement iPad with the screen brightness at around 60%;

    Thought I may as well post some additional photos consisting of my iPad compared to my sisters iPad 4;
    Mine is the top iPad, sisters is the bottom iPad.
    Close-up of my sisters iPad, same side;
    The camera doesn't capture the full glory of the back-light bleeding, you can just imagine how much worse and more apparent it would be to the human eye!
    (With these images, I have enchanced the brightness so it's more apparent)

  • What should I do about light bleeding on iPhone 5?

    I've noticed some pretty noticable light bleeding on the top right hand corner of my 32GB iPhone 5. I took it to AT&T and the representative there said they weren't able to do anything, I would have to take it to an Apple store. Problem is, the nearest Apple store is over an hour away from my house and I don't want to make a trip just to have them tell me they can't do anything. Any suggestions?

    Bring the phone back for evaluation.
