Nokia N8 - Dead Pixel On Screen

Hi all. Last week I noticed that I might have 1 dead pixel on my screen. its a little black dot that stays at about 10-o'clock position on the screen.
I tried to ignore it, but I just cant because everytime I swipe pictures left and right, the black dot stick out, and my eye is staring at the dot instead of my pictures.
I had to sent my N8 back for a new replacement. It's a shame because I am really happy with the phone aside from that stupid dead pixel.
I just hope that my new replacement won't have any new problems or another dead pixels! I am worried that Nokia quality is dwindling...
So guys please check your screen throughly for dead pixel. Let me know of your findings. I really hope that I am the only one affected..

For sure it is sad that you had a black pixel.
But you will not be allone, And that is normal.
Think about numbers: you have thousands of pixels (around 200K for each color), Nokia is selling (hopefully) millions of N8. It is just question of probability that some persons will get dead pixels. Nobody, and this include the best quality checks possible, will be able to ensure 100% error free devices. And if it would be possible, you might not be able to pay it.
There will be always some devices with problems, For them it is important to have a good and quick support and replacement policy. And Nokia, as I know the company, is handling this quite good.
N8-00 with orange case, loving it

Nokia C7 - dead pixel on E-mail widget?

I do not know whether you have noticed that or not, but it seems to me like there is a dead pixel on Nokia E-mail widget ... Is it only my C7 that has this issue? Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

Solved!

Can you post a screen shot of it. I've noticed something similar to what you've mentioned with Nokia's midnight themes, looks like a theme issue and not dead pixel. I've attached screen shot of that from my E7 see if that is what you're seeing on your phone.

Small hair/dead pixel behind screen 10 weeks old MBP

Hello,
I have a 10 weeks old MBP and now I was browsing the web when I noticed a very small hair behind my screen
it's aprox 2-3 mm in length but it really annoys me because of 2 facts
It's in the centre of my screen
My MBP is 10 weeks old!
However it also could be a line of dead pixels.
I already read some threads about this and most of them say that I have to go to the Apple store,
but I live in Belgium? I don't know if the service is the same as in the US?
thanks!

Hello Michiel0lb,
No, I'm sorry but I can't be that positive. I don't use MBP, I have never seen their guarantee and the interpretation of a fault has to be with the examiner ... in your case, Switch. That said, if the fault is visible any decent company would want to see you satisfied whether it means cleaning, replacing the screen or the whole MB for that matter. 10 weeks is not a long time and Apple is a decent company.
I can (just) make the fault out though I'm sure it is more visible in reality. Be sure to approach Switch in person and phone first to confirm they are able to handle a warranty matter. Re-sellers often have facilities to repair on the premises or they will send the machine back to an Apple base if the matter is serious. But if asked when you phone, don't say any more than your screen has developed unusual marks that could be faulty pixels. For your own satisfaction you must ensure it is examined.
Post back with your findings ... and good luck,

Dead Pixels and Screen Burn

Well, I have been the "proud" of a new Aluminum 24 inch iMac since August of 07. Recently I noticed that I have gain ONE dead pixel and some screen burn issues, mainly when I close our iChat after it has been running for a couple hours.
1. Should I worry about this?
2. Would Apple even consider replacing my display?
Thanks guys!

Well... I would imagine that you wouldn't be able to return it or replace it because of screen burn-in... as that is considered 'wear and tear'. Kinda like taking your car back to the dealership because the tread is wearing down on your tires.
As for the dead pixel... I would imagine Apple would have been more willing to replace it for you if you had mentioned it in the first 14 days. But since you've had it since August, and just now seeing pixel issues... I don't think it would be covered.
If you really want to get it fixed... take it to your Apple store, see what they say... worse happens, you pay to get the screen fixed... which is cheaper than buying a replacement Mac.
Keep us updated on what you do and when/if you get it fixed.

I have one dead pixel in the middle of the screen.

I have 3 issues with my iPad2 at the moment
1. Bad back-light bleeding around edges. It is kind of big bleed on the right edge and small ones on the left.
2. One dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
3. Lots Horizontal lines occured everytime when press sleep button on and off quickly.
What can I do, this is the replaced one that comes in brown box. On of the genius guy say that horizonta lines is normal when LCD screen boots up and as long as it does not effect while you are playing then it should be fine. But my friend dont have this issue so i think it is kind of faulty of the device.
Can I go to genius bar and ask for another replacement?

I went to apple store today and this time one of the staff said they will not replace for dead pixels or screen bleeding. And for the horizontal line issue.. The guy at genius bar said it's normal when LCD screen wakes up from sleep or when it boots up. It's kinda weird I think.

My new iPad has a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Can I get it replaced?

I've heard that there is a minimum number of dead pixels before apple will replace it. Very frustrating because otherwise the screen is perfect, and it's one of those things you can't stop looking at. What can I do? I don't live near an apple store so I fear that shipping it away is the only option.
Any help is appreciated!

Given that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever.

3 Dead Pixels after Blue Screen crash, should I make another Genius Bar appointment?

Ok, so yesterday I made a GB appointment, after a friend told me to, when I showed him that I had a dead pixel on my phone's screen. So when I got to apple, I showed them the dead pixel and they told me they were going to replace the screen on the phone. It turned out that the machine they use to do so, was down, so they ended up giving me a replacement phone. So I checked it out at the store and it looked fine. So now today, while running some errands, my new replacement iPhone had crashed and turned blue, then rebooted on me & a few moments after when I got back on the phone and was imessaging, I noticed 3 dead pixels instantly (one on right under the names of the contact on the message, on the J key on the board and to the middle-right where your send messages are displayed)
Now I'm thinking that, because my originally iPhone had crashed and turned blue also and I noticed the one dead pixel on it that same day, that the blue screen crashing could possibly be causing this??
Should I go back to the apple store and tell them what happened?

(Update) the pixels actually all seem to be red, whenever I go on a yellow screen and I just noticed a fourth one. I think I should take my phone in

Will warranty cover 1 dead pixel and an incredibly annoying screen flicker?

Problems:
1) I have 1 dead pixel on my iPod Touch and it's very annoying as it sticks out because the entire screen is black, and there is just this dot of light
2) I sometimes use my iPod Touch in the dark, so this means that I keep the contrast at the lowest level, as it being too bright hurts my eyes. The problem with this is that the screen flickers between contrasts slightly and it ends up making me feel dizzy.
I've tried turning the auto brightness option to off to prevent the above, but it doesn't make any difference. I've also tried turning the contrast slightly up too, but still it flickers slightly.
Any advice?
Thanks

The warranty will cover a dead pixel and the flickering screen. But before we get drastic, let's do some troubleshooting. Try a hard reset by holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time until the Apple logo appears on screen. Skip the slide to power off screen.

I have the same case with you an iPad Air in dead pixel or speckle silver dust on screen. It is been 3 months I bought in Avant Abenson in Greenbelt Makati Philippines. Today I decided to change my screen protector film but the speckle dust on the screen

Speckles dust on the screen and it cannot be removed today when I decided to change the screen protector film and noticed is not my fault it is a factory defect on screen it is either dead pixel or speckle dust on screen they are so many said and experience I have read. So I need the replacement a new one for that dismayed screen on my iPad Air. I bought this 3 months ago in Avant Abenson at Greenbelt Makati Philippines. I need the replacement for tomorrow I will go to the store I bought. I love apple products but they need to replace and make go round to improve some defects and cannot be more escalate with this issue of the many of patronizing your products. It is sometimes irritating to the eyes and seen dirt on the screen. Thank you apple customer service to bringing up my complaints and a replacement for tomorrow's to inform the store I bought and advise them here in the Philippines to facilitate in regards to this matter.

I wanted to buy an ipad air to replace my ipad 2 but the one I wanted was (luckily) sold out.
Yesterday I tested the air from a collegue and I noticed the screen was SUBSTANTIALLY less sensitive than the screen of my ipad 2 when using my stylus.
I use Stylus R US especially for I annotate and with the air this did not work well at all... Half of the time there was no contact registered so underying certain parts of the text was a disaster...
Just working with the finger all whent OK... Just fear that another app I use a lot (notes +) will have same problem.
On the Ipad 4 also retina all goes *** smooth as on my ipad 2...
Is this a fault of a specific ipad air series? Or is this normal?? If it is I think this is truelly a huge flaw and I cannot see how not manny people using the ipad for notetaking etc did not notice this...

24" iMac Thin darker line on the screen - dead pixels ?

I have a 24" BTO iMac with 3,06 and GE Force 8800 GS, delivered last year in June.
Was very happy until today, when i remarked, at +/- 7 cms from the right edge, a thin line, extending from top to bottom, and seeming to expand a bit in a blurry way in the middle.
It shows much more in when on a dark background.
Could that be dead pixels ?
I guess I have to ship the machine back to an ARC ?
Or is there some test I could try first ?

A screenshot would not including any effect from a physical screen defect. For the computer, the pixels are there and working properly.
If it appears to be blurry, it may be something casting a shadow between the LCD and the backlighting. Dead pixels are distinct, so there should not be a blur between where the pixels are working and where they are not working.
In any case, since the Mac is still covered by the one-year warranty, you should probably have it looked at by an Apple authorized repair place

Shouldn't Apple recall and provide FREE replacement for MacBook Pro screens with ghosting and dead pixel issues?

Read the forum posts, Google the issue, watch the YouTube videos on the problems; they are everywhere. I purchased a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro and the screen is riddled with dead pixels, white ghosting throughout, and image retention issues, all from a company that promotes the quality of the product they sell. There's no way this issue facing so many consumers shouldn't result in Apple replacing these screens for FREE.
I purchased the high-end machine for photo and video editing. Photo editing is particularly difficult when I can't tell if I have dust, dirt or colour shifts in my images or if it's just the screen overlaying these issues. I've never had so many issues with any screen I've purchased, from my Panasonic Plasma TV to my cheap ACER laptop. Please Apple, quit ignoring this issue.

Dead Pixel paranoid! How do I protect MacBook Pro 15 retina screen?

Hello all,
First Mac ever! I just paid over $3,100 for the MBPrd and additional apple care. After doing some research I have heard that dead pixels are a major problem! Also that apple just blames it on "DUST" when you close the lid!
As a new Mac customer I find it hard to believe that I just paid that much for a performance marvel that is so easily effected by.. Dust, the most common household / office particle.
So, what is the best way to protect the screen? B/C I can tell you right now if down the road I have to argue with some "Genius" about dust ruining the display on my super expensive laptop, I'd rather just return the thing tomorrow. It blows my mind that the screen doesn't have better warranty coverage even under the additional apple care!
Any advise is appreciated.

You should have an HDMI port on your Retina display model?
All you need is a standard HDMI to HDMI cable to connect to your television (assuming that it has an HDMI port). I actually have run an HDMI cable through my stereo receiver and just selected it via the receiver since I've a shortage of HDMI ports on my television.
You could also connect via Thunderbolt to HDMI with the proper cable, if you wished.

Dead pixel on macbook pro screen

i have a dead pixel on my screen what should i do ? and are they going to do with my macbook ???
thank you

Is it brand new? You have 14 day return policy.
Otherwise
I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store, make a reservation.

I sent my mbp 15" to the service center for a dead pixel. they changed the screen but now, I get notified that I need to restart my mbp and now, I just hear 3 beeps and it doesn' turn on.

I sent it to the service center last month to be repaired. It was running fine and it was perfect except for the dead pixel. Today, I got it back. They changed the screen. When I got home, I opened it and it was running fine until my screen darkened with a message telling me that I need to restart. And I turned it on again, and after a few times of black screen and restarting, it won't turn on and it beeps 3x when I try to turn it on. It became worse after the dead pixel repair. My question is what is the problem with my mbp? And how long would it take to get repaired because I'm a collge student who really needs a laptop.

When it beeps 3 times, it means that it's the RAM. now we have two scenarios here :
1 - The RAM is Dead and needs to be replaced
2 - The other one is that during shipping and all the RAM might have been improperly seated, you need to take it to the service stores and they would reseat the RAM for you and that will be an easy fix. but if the RAM is dead then they would replace the RAM if your MBP is still under warranty.
