One dead pixel in the UK? Chance of replacement

Hey,
I've had my 12" PB for 4 weeks and I love it. Annoyingly I've noticed a dead red subpixel about half-way between the middle and the top left. I have to be honest, I only see it once in a while so not a major issue.
What are my chances of getting a replacement? I bought the pb from amazon.co.uk.
Cheers,
Henry

Almost none I'm afraid, because that falls well within the acceptable limits. If you had 5 or 6, you'd have a chance.
Some tips that are suggested to work:
- Massaging around the pixel, and gently over it.
- 'Tracking' from the pixel to the edges of the screen (all four) and massaging there.
Maybe others will chime in with possible solutions:

  • 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.

  • 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.

    However I am not sure if it applies to IPS panels.

    I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

  • Dead pixel - worth the trouble to exchange?

    Will Apple give me a new iPhone since mine has a dead pixel, or is it not worth it to try?
    iMac Core Duo, eMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   And an 8GB iPhone!

    Can someone explain this to me? I have what appeared to me to be about 20 dead pixels on my screen. I took it to genius bar and they said I only had 3 and this was normal and that everything else I saw was natural "bleeding" that would "go away in time." The dead ones and the "bleeding" ones look exactly the same to me. Now I'm reading here that people have just one dead pixel and apple is honoring their exchange? Why not me? I have what looks like 20!

  • One dead pixel

    Well I have an early 2009 macbook aluminum unibody. Purchased new 5/3/09 and just last week there is one dead pixel right in the middle of the screen no matter what wallpaper I have. Now when I am on a website I cannot seem to find it on the screen any ideas what I need to do to remedy this?

  • Dead pixels on the 24"?

    is it me or is anyone else detecting a trend with dead pixels on the imac 24" models? there seem to be a few other posts here about it. i unfortunately had to ship mine back to apple last week because it had around 5 dead pixels (black) clustered together on the right middle area of the lcd. i ordered a custom config (upgraded to geforce 7600) through the apple store online. i had the wind taken out of my sails when i first booted up and realized that they were dead.

    Just in case there is confusion over this matter, a dead pixel and a stuck pixel are two different states. A dead pixel is not repairable. It indicates that the transistor at that pixel position is inoperative. A stuck pixel indicates the pixel is fixed at a particular "on" state and can sometimes be forced to another state through the various techniques others have already mentioned here and in other threads. A dead pixel appears to be a pinpoint of white light (I have one on my new 24") and can only be repaired with a display replacement. Since there is always the possibility of damaging an LCD display when forcefully rubbing, I wanted to make sure folks understood the difference. If the pixel is dead, no need for attempting repair.

  • One dead pixel on my iphone5s's screen

    i found one dead pixel on my iphone5s screen, i just bought this phone 1 month , can i replace my phone?

    When my brand spanking new iMac had a similar issue last year they sent me a new one so I could transfer everything over then they arranged for a courier to collect the old one a few days later.
    Just be warned if you don't give it back for when they say they will charge your credit card again.
    It was fine for me as obviously I wasn't trying to steal!

  • ONE DEAD PIXEL ACCEPTABLE?

    i have one dead pixel in my right top corner you cant stee unless everything around there is lit up, but when it gets dark like in the sliding menu you can see it...is this acceptable and will it get worse as in more dead pixels later on?
    Solved!

    It's always annoying, but I am not sure of Nokias policy on dead pixles. I had dead pixles on my computers before, but never on a cellphone. I had one on the Dell laptop I am using now. It was dead from the beginning, but after 2 months it dissapeard. Now the screen is perfect.
    I have read a lot of posts on other forums about pixle massage and programs to get the pixle back, but as I have understood, it's a difference between a dead pixle and a stuck pixle.
    If nobody can answer you on this, I would use the contact link and ask about it, or take it to a carepoint. But as i mentioned, I don't know what the policy is on that issue is.
    Personal opinion - the screen is small and it's annoying. It should be covered by warranty and get replaced.

  • So I just got my iPhone 5s and there appears to be a dead pixel on the top of the screen. Is there anything that could be done?

    I was curious If anything could be done about a dead pixel on the top of my iPhone 5s screen? And I bought the phone directly from ATT if that makes a difference.

    Take the iPhone back to ATT and show them the dead pixel on the display and get the iPhone replaced.

  • 2 dead pixels near bottom after 2 months. replacable?

    In addition to the two new dead pixels near the bottom edge of my screen, i also have these two LCD issues with my MB:

    and
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=940945&tstart=0
    I've already taken it in to try and get a replacement for the lines, but they said it was normal. I havent taken it in for the spots on the black background yet since I had doubts that they'll warrant the replacement since it's only noticeable on a black screen with little light in the room.
    i now have two dead pixels near the bottom and am starting to think i should take it in to try and get a replacement. I do have the 3 year applecare plan as well.
    What do you think? Anyone had their MB's replaced for bad pixels after a few months of use? Thanks.
    Ryan

    in the dozens of MB's i've seen in stores, i did notice that only a few had the lines issue that i have. the lines just seem like it's on the coating of the screen.
    i think i will take it over to the store and see what they say. i'm not going to get a refund because, i love this macbook, even if it does have flaws, though i wouldnt mind a free replacement :-D thanks.

  • 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.

  • I have one dead pixel on my iPad Mini, besides sending it back is there anything I could do?

    On my iPad Mini screen, since I have bought it, there has been one small black dot in the middle of the screen (I'm presuming a dead pixel because its absolutely always there). And I'm not too bothered about it but if there was something I could do without having to send it back that would be great!
    Thanks
    Ryan

    My iPad Mini arrived this morning with a dead pixel. I am going through the exchange process now. Hopefully the next one I recieve will not have this problem. Is this a popular issue?

  • 1 dead pixel on the screen

    I seem to have a dead or stuck pixel on the screen. How do I know if its dead, or if its stuck? Do dead pixels look different from stuck pixels?
    Im not to bothered about it as I can hardly see it and I struggle to see it, but it is slightly annoying that you know its there. It looks turquoise colour, but when I put some black over it on the screen, you cant see it.
    Also, I have downloaded the stuck pixel fixer and run it for about 20 minutes, and it doesnt seemed to have done anything.
    Does anyone suggest what to do? Also, does apple have a pixel policy? Like I said im not to bothered by it, but when you know its there it can get a bit annoying. I have to really look for it to see it though.

    Yes thats what I was thinking. Like I said im not to bothered about it and I can hardly see it, but might give them a call and see what they say. Its not acually to bad. I have dead pixels on other things before and they have been much worse. It must be because of the resolution of the screen or something.
    I have to say, the one thing I hate the most and is the most annoying thing out of all technology for me is a dead pixel, esspecially when its right in the middle of the screen. This one is just at the top where the program menu bar is, so its not to obvious. Infact, its probably the best place it could have happend really, if it were to happen at all.

  • One Dead Pixel - Can't Take It!

    Hey all,
    I got a dead pixel/or just stuck pixel, and no matter what pixel tests I put it through, the pixel cannot recover. If I got to trade it in for another iPhone 3G, (bought 3 weeks ago), can they change the color for me as well? Or no?
    Everyone has the **** black one, and rather have white.

    You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
    Its not the fault of the guy/gal behind the desk that a pixel failed, or that you chose the wrong color the first time around.

  • The dead pixel appeared the third time!

    I am a fan of APPLE product. I have IPHONE,IPAD,IPAD MINI. Because I trust the quality of apple.
    But things changed since I bought the MBP.
    I bought the MBP on Aug. 2013 and had changed monitor twice.
    Today, a dead pixel appear again, I don't know how can I deal with this? Have to change it again?

    Three repairs in such a short time frame isn't good. It's not normal. Ask for them to give you a new one.
