  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 .... =)

  • 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

    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?

  • 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.

  • (3) 24" iMacs, in a row, all with one dead pixel? Why? Normal?

    Hi, sorry if this has been addressed before BUT... Last week I started my adventure of getting a 24" iMac. I have returned 2 and am now with the 3rd in the same condition. All 3 have had 1 stuck (dead?) red pixel. An all 3 they looked exactly the same. In fact on the 3rd iMac the screen was perfect when I launched it for the first time, then before my eyes I watched a red one appear. On all 3 I took a photographer's loop (small magnifying glass) and looked closely. It appears that of the 3 bars of color, the Red, Blue and green lined up. The green is black or not lit up. I am baffled. Am I crazy, is this normal, can someone explain. The exact same green bar out on all 3. Please help, I am really obsessing over this. $2000 and I have to get anxiety looking at my screen....

    I have one stuck red pixel on my 20" white iMac. I think it was there from the beginning, but I didn't notice it until about 2 months after I bought it. At first it was annoying, but I don't even notice it now. According to Apple, a few defective pixels is considered normal; Apple claims that if they had to reject all but absolutely perfect screens, their computers would cost much much more than they do.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    i feel half of ur pain! i got the 21.5" on saturday, and it had a red pixel in the middle of it! i am not gonna live with it and will return it today!
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • What is the minimum number of dead pixels?

    Hi. I recently purchased an Apple LED Cinema Display. It's very beautiful but i have found one dead pixel. The reseller refuses to change or fix it because they can offer assistance only for more than 4 dead pixels. I called Apple and they said me that "one pixel is accetable". In my opinion, aboslutely NO!
    Does anyone had his LED display changed with only one pixel dead or stuck?
    What is the minimum amount of defective pixels to ask for assistance? Some say 4, other 7...
    Thanks

    Apple replaced it. When I booked the appointment with my local Genius as requested a phone call prior to the appointment. During the phone call the Genius was very professional and courteous, and told me that he would be replacing it as an exception and that strictly speaking the 24" display could have up to 9 dead pixels before they would consider it a defect. Never mind this though as they did replace it without any hassle.
