New T530 with dead / unresponsi​ve pixel in upper middle of screen

I have one dead or unresponsive pixel in the upper middle part of the screen. It is stuck in red color. It is very difficult to ignore  this red dot and it is very annoying to use my machine with this red dot on the screen. What can I do? 
I ordered my T530 on July 27th and received it on Aug 20th. I've used it for two days and used UDpixel or similar online tools in attempt to unstuck this red pixel. The pixel is still stuck in red. What can I do about this? Need help. I need to use my  laptop for school. 
Thanks.

  • New T520 With Dead Pixels

    Hi, I have a new T520 that I have purchased about 30 days ago and it already has some deak pixels on the screen. How can I go about getting these fixed? 
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Hi, I went through the same dillema with a previous purchase. Out of the box, it's got stucked pixel so I returned them and ordered a new one. Your's is already more than 30 days old so Lenovo Post Sales might give you a hard time with a return but if it has more than 3 dead pixels, I believe you can return it for warranty.

  • Just got new T530 with wrong wireless card. Which model of Intel 6300?

    Hey all, been surfing the google god for a few days but can't seem to find a secure answer that makes me happy. Just got a new T530 model 2359 laptop for my new job. Other then one stuck pixel that refuses to go away im pretty happy with it as I upgraded the CPU to the i5 3320 cpu model with the nvidia NVS 5400m GPU so it can power dual 24" monitors on my new Lenovo dock. 
    What sucks is that my manager got me the wrong wifi card, the standard thinkpad 1x1 b/g/n wireless card so I can't connect to 5ghz and or dual band routers like I have at my home which I really want for reliable and fast wireless cause I will be using it a lot around my work building as I do IT support for users so I wanna be able to use all the antenna's to help my range.
    I took the laptop apart and I do see a third wire not connected to the thinkpad 1x1 mini card so should be able to use 3 antenna's on my T530?  My big question is which 6300 card would the correct one for my T530? I know apparently there are "white label" cards from IBM that don't work in certain machines but considering I'm putting it into a IBM, I would think I would be ok?
    Also, I do have an HD webcam buit in and I've heard that apparently some Thinkpad models you can't use three antenna and have the webcam working? 
    I'm curious if this white label centrino 6300 is the one I need

  • New iMac with dead pixels

    I just got a brand new 21.5 iMac it has 2 dead pixels, is this normal what's the acceptable number of dead pixels?

    Here is an Apple KB article pertaining to dead pixels. It does not list a number that is acceptable or not.
    But, Apple has a 90 day return policy, unless I believe you have a custom configuration. So I would return it if the dead pixels are in a place where you see them all the time and it bothers you.

  • Hi i have iMac G5 Power PC with dead logic board,when i turn it on screen is dead. Is it possible to recover data off it by hooking up via firewire to my newer G5 3.06Ghz with IntelCore

    Kia ora, hi i have an older (2003 or 4) iMac G5 Power PC 2GHZ - when i turn it on the screen stays dead but the light below screen comes on & i can hear fan (after a few mins on the fan gets noisy).I think the logic board may be dead & can not afford new one & I would like to recover some files & stuff from it and have heard you can recover stuff using a firewire cable so i got cable (firewire 400 to 800) but i am unsure how exactly to do it.
    Can anyone out there please explain how i might do it
    Thankyou very much
    ps my first post on mac forums so hope i got it right

    You can remove the hard drive from the iMac and put it in an external enclosure.  You could try using Target Disk Mode to transfer data.  Click on the blue link to get the instructions on how to transfer the data.

  • Brand new T530 issues. (Defective FHD panel/dead pixels)

    Just received my T530 yesterday, and honestly I've got to say it's a great machine, but I have noticed a couple of minor problems with it, along with a factory defect.
    1. The battery is too loose.
    2. The keyboard has no caps lock indicator, yet the mute button has its own indicator (can't complain there)
    I bought the FHD screen, which is absolutely exceptional, except for the fact that it has about 4 DEAD pixels on the middle right..
    Also I bought this unit brand new on eBay, but my warranty status says it has expired before it ever started. What's up with that?
    One final thing, when I opened up the box, the power adaptor, was in its own little compartment, unprotected, though it works fine, but is a little scratched, not sure if that's Lenovo's fault, or if the seller accidentally removed packing material when including the recepit/invoice.
    Looks like I'll have to send this unit in, I assume Lenovo's warranty covers factory defects with the screen?
    Thanks.

    I ended up getting a full refund, and now I am ordering directly from Lenovo.
    Thanks everyone!

  • New 80Gb iPod MP4 player with dead pixels!!!

    I just bought the iPod few days ago. I did not realise the iPod that i bought has dead pixels until i watch a movie where the dead pixel is visible on black screen. It has around 10 dead pixels! Does apple cover warranty for dead pixels?

    Some videos... ?
    You can't fix it yourself unless you want to possibly destroy it and void your warranty. You will need to contact Apple support for your country/region or take it back to where it was purchased for an exchange.
    Good luck!

  • Second 27" iMac with dead pixels

    I'm intrigued to see how many others have purchased the new 27" iMac's and have managed to get one without any dead pixels.
    I am currently on my 2nd 27" iMac and both of them have a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen, first one was black, this second one is red.

    btw, is there any dead pixel policy?
    It's a fault just like any other type of fault. Your brand new iMac's pixels are all meant to be working. If you receive one where they clearly are not you are right to have it replaced. This is not a PC, it is a top of the range Apple product for which we expect and demand the highest quality. After all, we're paying top dollar (or £) for this level of build and design. Accept nothing less.
    Actually, Apple considers one dead pixel 'within spec'.
    However, if you've only just bought it, you can choose to return it for any reason within 14 days.

  • New mac book - dead pixels allready

    so - i bought the black macbook 3 weeks ago - very pleased with its power - and built - and it runs really fast - a few days ago i discovered i have 2 dead pixel - one on the top of the screen the second one is at the middle bottom .... really noticeable - so i called apple service in israel - and got a pretty annoying answer , saying that the Apple policy regarding pixel problems on new bought laptops is that until 9 dead pixel it is considered to be legitimate and acceptable.... so i am stuck with a new computer with a big defect and i have nothing to do .... few days ago i had to buy a new screen for my studio's G5 after wearing off my old apple studio monitor - i got a brand new 22" samsung lcd monitor and the sales man caught my ears when he told me that dead pixels will always occur on the first days or weeks of a new screen and it is always manufacturing defect - and should i have any pixel problem the new screen i bought would be replaced at once ....how come a 400$ screen has better warranty then a 1500$ macbook ????
    what am i spouse to do with a brand ew mackbook with those 2 dead pixel ....it is al i see when i am working ....

    Wait a bit. When you close the lid, the mac's sleeping light will stay lit for about a minute. During that time the Mac us writing it's memory to discuss for hibernating if it is left to sleep so long that the battery dies. After about a minute, the light should flash slowly off and on indicating it is now in sleep mode.
    If you open the lid when the light is on solid (ie just close the lid and re-open) it takes about 30 seconds or so before you will be able to use the computer and sometimes you have to press the power button. But if after a minute of sleep 'prep' time you reopen the lid, it should come on right away.

  • 24' Cinema Display with Dead Pixel

    I just exchanged an LED Cinema Display under AppleCare for the blinking/cord problem. Got the new one set up and see that it has a dead pixel. Is there a fix for these, especially being brand new, or do I have to exchange this one too?
    Running tests it is very visible on a black background, then blue, and slightly on a green background. Red and white backgrounds make it so that the pixel is not a visible problem.

    When I chose my LED Display, I refused two monitors because of dead pixels (green pixels on full filled white background). All of them I tried to order in on-line shops.
    When I found out that Apple use LG panels for the LED Display and I understood that I have to go to the off-line shop and choose the display by myselfl. I met 2 years ago with usual LG TFT displays on my work - they all had dead pixels. (IMHO, LG is not good).
    I came to one shop and there were 2 Apple LED displays - one at the exposition and one in the storehouse. Of course I wanted new one from storehouse and let manager know beforehand about not going to buy if dead pixels. He brought up the display from storehouse, unpacked, plugged and I personally start to check. I changed the background to whole white and pointed into two green pixels. "***", - I said to the manager - couldn't believe that the display costs crazy money (in Ukraine - $1400-1500) and everyone with dead pixels!
    I also have 20" NEC display with perfect IPS panel that I bought 3 years ago for $800. And I should leave the buying of the Apple LED Display and back to my favourite and proven NEC it could be the right decision as you'll see below .
    But the manager offer me to check the exhibition example - he assured me that exhibition one is also absolutely new and stood only 5 days in the shop. We plug it, set the background to white and ... "O, miracle! No dead pixels! After three checked displays! Can't belive!" - and this one was really total perfect.
    So I forgot about to buy new NEC instead of Apple display. Brought Apple LED Display to home, connected to my brand new MBP 13, compared to my old NEC - everythnig was perfect, colors and overall picture are better than old NEC.
    I was happy ... BUT JUST FOR ONE WEEK! It started to blink/flash/blackout - this is the known problem as I found out later: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1902288&tstart=0
    I'm very disappointed because I realize that if I give it for guarantee service and they offer me to change it - I'm sure that I'll got the display with dead pixels and I don't want it! So I hope that it the software/firmware trouble and it'll be fixed in the next MacOS update. If no - it'll be the disaster because I'll not be able to return the display and give my money back from the one hand (under Ukrainian laws the money back period of goods is 14 days), and I don't want to give the guarantee replacement with dead pixels!
    Sorry for large text I had to to unburden myself!

  • 3 displays - all with dead pixels!

    Im loosing hope on Apples products right now!
    I have returned three 24" led displays now - all with broken pixels!
    Is it impossible to find one that not have this problem?
    Its like buying a new Porsche with cracks in the wind shield!
    A few years ago I also returned three 20" cinema displays that had 10-20
    dead and stuck pixels and just gave up!

    Hi Guys, I'm from New Zealand, I am on my third LED Display. Ive lost a little faith. I purchased the original from a premium reseller. Honestly, I have had so much bother I am too embarassed to go back. Apple and the reseller think Im crazy and tell me that Dust is a common issue and that I am picking trouble. I paid $1700NZD for this display, and I expect them to be perfect as they are overpriced. Just like buying a BMW as opposed to a Toyota, you expect flawless perfection in premium brands. All of mine seemed perfect out of the box, but the next day when the sun is shining on the screen I see dust, smudges under the screen and little marks. When I opened the last one I promised myself I wouldnt stand infront of it inspecting it, as this is how I find the defects. But when it comes to cleaning the display, you tend to notice these imperfections. I have been ringing Apple Care and they all seem to talk as if I'm OCD about the whole Apple dust situation. NONE OF THESE ARE PERFECT. But for the price they should be. I wonder if apple could directly replace my display rather than through my reseller? as I am too embarassed to go back.

  • I got a damaged iphone today :( after apple sent me an ipad with dead pixel

    Great,
    first apple sent me an ipad with dead pixel and misbehaving display and now they are sending me this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schipplock/4880028188/sizes/l/in/photostream/
    Would you send it back?
    Dear god, give me any reason why I ever should consider buying apple hardware again if quality management is so bad...I mean I spotted it in two or perhaps three seconds after unboxing it.
    What makes me angry now is that this microsim card now doesn't fit into my old phone so when Apple wants to send me another iphone it takes ages (again!)...and I'm without a phone...great :!
    Apple oh Apple :/.

    I don't know if you can do it at an Apple store. But AT&T will let you order the iPhone 4 and still keep what you have until the new phone arrives.

  • Apple policy on MBP Retina with dead pixel

    Hi
    New MBP retina (<90 days) with dead pixel just appeared 2 days ago.
    Did anyone experience this and what's the Apple policy on this ?
    Thanks
    V

    Call Customer Support and have them replace the screen. They will send you a box to mail to depot.
    I had a MacBook Pro with a dead pixel and left speaker out. My MBP was 4 years old, definently out of warrenty. I called Apple, and they replaced the display without charge.
    I received the box on Wednesday, mailed it on Thursday (FedEx) and got my fixed MBP back on Friday, same week! This is why I still buy Apple.
    When calling customer service, stress that you have more than one pixel out, as you probably have a cluster. Have them do the repair at depot not at any Apple Store. Make sure, since you are still with 90 days, fix it for free.
    Should not be a problem.

  • Could some one help me with dead pixel on my screen?

    I bought my Thinkpad X61 only a few days back. I opened it and found that there is one dead pixel in the middle of the monitor. Is there any possibilty that Lenovo would fix this? I know that I have to pay 15% of the purchage amount in order to return this peice. I would be really happy to return it without any costs. I talked to the service people. This is the worst service ever I had. No one is replying. One girl told me that the dead pixel goes away in a few days and It would be okey. It looks like if you order a laptop online, they send you laptop with defective pixels.

  • 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.
