MacBook pro dead pixel

Boring one dead pixel ,as an apple fan I can't understand!

Since you didn't post a question, I have no answer for you.  I would note, though, that you posted to the "iPad Forum" about your MacBookPro.

  • Sept 2012 Macbook Pro dead pixel issue

    Hi,
    My Macbook pro from Sept 2012 has recently had a major issue with pixels dying, around 10-15 in a few weeks. My Macbook is out of warranty as over a year old so I am wondering what my options are? I don't believe the dead pixels are a fault of my own as I have seen a lot of problems with this issue online.
    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately dead pixels cannot be resuscitated.  The solution is a replacement of the display.
    Had you purchased Apple Care, the display, if it was outside the Apple pixel display standards, may have been replaced for free.
    Ciao.

  • Have you exchanged a MacBook with dead pixels?

    Everything was going smooth with my MacBook - too smooth...
    My MacBook is developing dead pixels. I've had it for about 18 days and initially the display was perfect but now it seems that fabled mythical beast, the dead pixel monster, is eating my pixels.
    Does anyone know what the official policy is for dead bright pixels? Has anyone actually exchanged a MacBook with dead pixels? If you did get yours exchanged how many dead pixels did it have?
    Do you think I am better off to keep the MacBook for a while (wait untill the supply catches up a bit) and then return it - or do I need to deal with the issue within the first 30 days?

    things were going smooth with my machine until the screen went black. not a doubt in my mind that the inverter was faulty. so that's a mfg. defect right.
    the problem is that apple (like so many companies these days) does not want you bringing a dead/faulty product into their store to just "swap it out."
    they're going to want you to send it in and all that fun stuff. normally i wouldn't care so much, but i'm now waiting on a technician to call me back and tell me what to do with the machine - and i'm traveling on friday. mbpro was supposed to be coming with me as it's loaded with all my work for a project. grrrrrr.

  • Display problems on Macbook possible dead pixels?

    I opened my computer today to find that there is a tiny stripe starting on top of the screen by the camera. It goes all the way down my screen but only shows on the top and bottom of my screen. I can see the full line if I tip my computer a certain way. The line looks green but is flickering. It looks as though the pixels are dead or something. My warranty on my Macbook is definitely up. I bought the computer in 2009, I wanted to ask if there are any quick fixes or if there are any options that won't cost me much. Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

    I agree with a brody.
    Você deve contatar o suporte da Apple, por telefone: 0800-761-0880. UmRevendedor Autorizado NÃO É o mesmo que a Apple. Acho que você está em uma situação difícil. Eu tinha um MacBook Pro com um problema semelhante e eu tenhoum bilhete de reparo de suporte da Apple por telefone e, em seguida, levou-a parauma Apple Store e fixaram-lo, sem perguntas. Eu tinha um MacBook Pro com a nVidia ea tela parou. Não consigo encontrar uma Apple Store no Brasil, parece quevocê só tem Revendedores Autorizados. ¿Existe uma outra loja da Apple para o qualvocê pode pegar o computador depois de falar com o suporte da Apple?
    Espero que ele vai legal.

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro green pixels on the screen where dark colors should appear.

    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro I bought it new with 4 gb of ram. About 4 months ago i purchased 8 gb of pny ram for this model and upgraded the ram. I followed all of the safety precautions and discharged my static electricity before upgrading. It increased the speed of my mac and helps with certain tasks. About 2-3 weeks i notices my mac froze and strange green black and pink bars appeared on the screen so i hold the power button to shut it down and it solves the problem this will happen about once a month but otherwise my mac works perfect. Now about a month ago I powered my mac on and low and behold The screen was covered in green pixels. I tried rebooting twice and it didn't do anything then i let it sleep for about 5 mins opened my mac and the green pixels were gone. Now my mac is still usable and everything works its just sometimes like once in a while ill get a few pixels and closing and opening my mac fixes it. I was curious if this was related to one another or is my mac just starting to die....

    I have been getting green pixels/boxes the last while...
    I have noticed it after waking the machine from sleep. Not 100% sure if that is the only time it happens. It goes away after a few seconds, typically.
    Any idea what is going on?

  • Why Apple ship macbook with dead pixel??

    I have bought a macbook about two weeks ago... but i notice that one pixel was dead...
    I phoned to apple costumer care and they sent to me a new macbook, but also this one have a dead pixel!!
    Angry, i phoned again to the apple costumer care but this time they doesn't want to change forgotten that i was in time for a RMA request .
    Now i send back this macbook again and i don't know if buy again other macbook until (i go on with RMA request ,shippement costs are paid by apple so i dont lose an euro) i dont have a screen as an Dell notebook of 450 euros give.With no one dead pixel.
    Samsung sell their HD ready TV with a warranty over ALL pixels... and Apple dont care about that.
    Shame!
    I would like to see Steve Jobs in a keynote presenting iPhone with a little black hole in the screen... as i should do with my clients.

    Most manufacturers require a certain number of dead pixels before replacing a screen. I actually believe samsung is the only company to have a 0-dead-pixel-policy.

  • Macbook Stuck/dead Pixel Help

    hey i just bought my macbook 2 days ago, and now i notice 2 pixel are dead or stuck, i cant really tell. one of them are light blue colour on top when background is white. and the other one is yellow over white background.
    Can anyone please tell me what should i do ?? iam not to sure, iam worries that this is dead pixel that cant be fixed >.<
    thanks for ur concern
    regards
    Erwin.

    Those are stuck pixels from the sound of it. If they were dead, well you wouldn't be seeing any color other than black and you wouldn't be able to do a thing. Now with stuck pixels you can supposedly fix these some of the time, but don't quote me on that as I've never have had to deal with them. That said there appears to be a widget you can down that might fix your problem....

    I think its worth a shot anyways.....

  • Macbook Air - Dead Pixel

    I bought my early 2014 Macbook Air a little over 4 weeks ago, and I have just noticed a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Will Apple fix this for free? I didn't buy my Macbook at an Apple shop, but at an authorized Apple retailer, so should I take it back to them for repair? Needless to say i'm a little frustrated with paying £1000 for a laptop to have a considerable sized dead pixel in the screen.

    Will Apple fix this for free?
    Only Apple can determine that. Read:

  • New Macbook Pros: more pixels == smaller letters?

    I see that the new Macbook Pros offer a choice of screen resolutions in the 15" model. You can only get a glossy screen with the higher pixel count.
    I want the glossy screen, but my aging eyes don't want to have to deal with smaller letters. (I notice that my wife's MacBook Air has smaller letters for the default fonts than my MacBook Pro does, and I wouldn't want to switch.)
    I'm not sure whether the higher resolution MacBook Pros compensate for having more resolution by using more pixels for each letter, so that the overall size of letters is about the same, or whether it just gives you smaller letters.
    The description of the higher-res screen in the Apple Store says it gives you "more screen space to work with" which I'm pretty sure implies smaller letters.
    But I decided to ask here in case someone has solid info. (If it wasn't for this question, I'd have already ordered my machine.)
    Thanks,
    Gary

    I have an older hi res model, and what I did was to set some preferences in Mail and Safari for larger text. You can try this out on the Mac you have to see how it works.
    In Safari, go to Preferences>Advanced and check the Universal Access box. Then you can select "Never use font sizes smaller than..." and you can select whatever font size is comfortable.
    In Mail, go to Preferences>Colors and Fonts and select a font size that is comfortable. In addition, you can select "Customize Toolbar" under "View" in the menu bar and place a magnifier in the tool bar to use on mail that gets sent in tiny fonts.
    You may still opt for the lower resolution, but just so you know, there are ways to cope with the high resolution displays.
    Happy hunting!

  • MacBook Pro dead, need help urgently please!

    My mac has died. It's really urgent to fix because I have a degree project to submit in 2 days! Many thanks in advance for help;
    Yesterday my mac froze up ( nothing would move appart from the cursor ). I hit the off button and my mac takes about 15-20 minutes to load up. When it does load its veeerrrryyyy sluggish and the beach ball whirls. It also popped up with a circle with a line through it, its stopped doing that since turning on and off a few times.. I tried reinstalling lion from command R at restart. This worked but didn't fully erase everything and I still have the same issue. I now can't go to the recovery menu on restart it just goes straight to log in so I am unable to fully erase everything.
    Computer specs:
    MacBook pro mid 2009 running 10.7.3 Lion.
    2.66 dual core
    8 gig ram
    320 hard drive.
    Any help would be most appreciated!!!
    Many thanks!

    I have the disc assistant on an SD connected to USB but my computer will only open it with disc utility. Is there anything I coud do?
    The program you download is meant to be downloaded and run from OS X on a working Lion Mac (not your sick one) to copy the Recovery HD Partiton of their Lion Mac to the USB thumb drive (properly formatted) then you take it to the sick Mac and can hold the option key boot off of it.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/08/lion-recovery-disk-assistant-tool-makes-external- lion-boot-recovery-drives/
    Once you get your computer booted off the Recovery USB, you connect a blank external drive and install Recovery HD and OS X Lion onto that from the Recovery USB using your AppleID and password.
    Once you got that done, then you hold the option key down and boot the computer off the external drive, which the internal drive can be seen when you do Finder > Go menu > Computer and click on your internal boot drive.
    Then you open the Users folder and copy your User to the external drive your booted from.
    Once you have gotten your User folder copied off the machine, you can choose to run the comptuer off the external drive until your ready to have it fixed.
    If you can't handle all this, then call a local Mac/PC computer person to do it for you, as Apple may just replace the drive and tell you tough luck charlie, you should have made a backup.

  • 2011 MacBook Pro dead not turning on, how do I get all my files off it?

    Hi,
    I have an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro. Basically it's completely died on me, a few things have been going wrong so I know it's times up. I just want to know how I can get all my photos, documents & files off if it's completely died & won't turn on? Are all my files ect on the hard drive or on amother part of the computer. Any help would be really appreciated as I have a lot of photos of my 2 young children on there which will break my heart to lose.
    Thank you in advance for any help
    Shelley

    Remove the drive from the Mac and place it in an external drive case. You may be able to access the files.
    buy yourself an external drive and start backing up, this need not have been a problem.
    there is a recall in place on your Mac, for graphics problems, take it to an Apple Store, if yours qualifies there is a free repair available

  • Macbook pro dead after 10.7.5 update

    after this update, 2010 macbook pro will not boot.
    hangs on grey boot screen with spinning wheel.
    tried restart with option command p r    same result
    what are my options?

    That's a lot to go thru!
    For the future, I would recommend buying DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy.
    Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way. But sometimes a badly damaged system can be deemed unrepairable by the installed version, but if booted and repaired from the DW disk it may still be repairable. This has happened to me.
    I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand. DW has repaired every big and little issue I've had on all three of my Macs.

  • 10.5.7 - VGA connection to LCD TV on new MacBook Pro dead. HELP PLEASE!

    I don't have a clue what's gone on here.
    Just downloaded the latest update and the connection to my TV has gone mental. It changes the resolution on my MacBook screen to something ridiculous and doesn't properly connect to the TV screen.
    Obviously, this is because of the new update is there anyway of going back to 10.5.6? I want to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm on my big screen!
    PS I've only recently moved to Mac so could any advice be idiot proof.
    Thanks

    Hi - Update for anyone that is interested. I've had a play around...
    I went into System Preferences/Display and connected the TV.
    The resolution still changed but I went to 'Arrangement' and deselected 'Mirror Displays' (10.5.7 to thank for that) My screen on the MacBook returned to its normal resolution but the TV was still not working.
    I selected 'Display' and then 'Gather Windows' and on the TV's Display changed the resolution to 1600x1024 instead of the one 10.5.7 assigned.
    Bingo! It's all back up and running!
    Wish I didn't have to spend 20 mins on the phone to Apple though with no solution - that'll be added to my student phone bill! ARGH!

  • Macbook Pro slow, pixellated, broken in general

    My Macbook, which I bought in mid 2012, was wrking fine this past week and now it just went to ****. The screen flashes either grey or "broken tv snowstorm" depending on its mood. Here is a video of it: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2v8ju3c%3E&s=8#.Uz718Ba1y34
    It also refuses to open certain applications like Chrome.
    I cant type very well because every second or so it lags and any clicks or keys pressed in that time are invalid.
    I have rebooted and everything but nothing works..
    Can someone assist me?
    Steve
