One small stuck or broken pixel on 3 month old refurbished imac

I have snow leopard 10.6.3 and i have a 2008 refurbishd 3 month old imac with a 3.06 ghz intel core 2 duo processor and an nvidia geforce 8800 gs 512 mb graphics card. My problem is that i have a small barley noticable stuck or broken pixel on my screen. its just bothering me and i want to get rid of it but i don't know how to. any suggestions would be apperciated. you can only really notice it when the screens background is on white.

Hi Joann
You might try Pixel Fix if your sure it's a stuck pixel and not a speck of dirt on the inside of the removable front glass panel. > http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20962
If it is a speck of dirt on the inside of the glass panel, you may want to contact your Local Apple Service Provider and setup a time to have it cleaned if you are uncomfortable removing and cleaning the panel yourself. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep5GKKTtp9Q&feature=related

  • Dead Pixel on 2 month old iMac 20"

    I've tried tons of Pixel Fix ways. I've tried Videos and etc.
    Is there anything i can do.
    I have 1 dead pixel. Can i return it if nothing works at all?

    Not sure how the laws in Germany are, but here in Norway you have the right to demand a new similar product if you find any faults with the one you purchased, as long as it's a mass produced product. Apple tried doing the whole "we have a pixel policy" thing, and I stated that I have a "laws of the country" thing, and they got me a new macbook in a few minutes (mine had a single dead pixel too, and I'm kinda picky that way).

    warrenty is a legal thing not set by apple but by the politicians of your country
    most places it covers defects that was not caused by you but was caused during the production and only discovered later on

  • Haziness & broken pixel in Z1

    http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-z1/features/#camera
    The pictures shown in this page are absolutely not from z1.
    It is impossible to take such pictures from z1 with so much clarity especially when sun is in the background.In reality everything in front becomes dark.
    There is also so much haziness in both pictures and videos taken by z1 no matter what mode you select.Also when you zoom photos you get broken pixels,it is not smooth.I don't think Sony is selling what they are marketing.
    Z1 really needs a big software boost considering it has got such massive hardware configuration.
    Is there something Sony is planning for Z1,please reply.

    Nope,thats obviously not Z1's photo and you got the point no matter what mode u choose the photo never turns out to be so clear like that especially the one taken in the night (low light) so obviously not z1's photo and I don't believe there us a phone camera can takes such clear photos ! lol

  • How many broken pixels are required before apple fixes my screen?

    My macbook pro with retina is under a year old and seems to have 4 broken pixels. I do not understand how this happened as I am very careful with it. How many pixels need to be broken before apple takes my laptop and fixes it? Also if they take my computer, how long will it be gone for and do I get some kind of replacement?

    It can take overnight to a little over a week, depending on the Store you go to and whether parts are immediately available. You do not get a "loaner". If a repair is arranged, you may be able to defer the repair until parts are available.
    It depends on how they are stuck (white, black, or color) and how close together they are. There are complex formulas used in the evaluation.
    Your appointment at the genius Bar at an Apple Store for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out. Apple Authorized Service Providers may have different policies.

  • All of a sudden tons of stuck and dead pixels on Retina display!

    My MacBook Pro Retina is just about a year old. When the computer was only a few months old I had the display replace due to stuck pixels.
    Now it's a year old (just 2 weeks out of warranty!) and all of a sudden there are a TON of stuck and dead pixels.
    I mean A LOT: about 30 - 40 stuck pixels (all of them seem to be blue or white, I can't really tell), and maybe about 20 - 30 dead pixels. They are harder for me to see. The stuck pixels make the screen almost unusable though.
    About a week ago I noticed one giant stuck pixel (probably a cluster of 4) but now, all of a sudden they are speckled all over the screen (but mostly in the same area where I found the first one.
    Is my display just dying on me?
    Is Apple going to make me pay for a new retina display (it's 15"). How much will that cost??
    The display shouldn't die like this so soon, especially since it is already a relatively new screen (replaced once already).

    I would go to Apple and ask nicely since it is only 2 weeks out of warranty and was already replaced once.

  • I was buy last 4 days new i phone 4 ,now one small white dot is come my screen

    i was buy last 4 days new i phone 4 ,now one small white dot is come my screen

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • One Small Feature Request

    Well, I got the Add-In installed and working. Looks pretty good. One small feature request I have, that I have become accustom to doing from another tool that I use is that when editing a package, in the Oracle Explorer window, when you expand the Packages node, then expand the package you are working on, it shows a list of procedures and functions in that package. This is great. Now what would be really great is that if you could double click on one of these procedures or functions it would take you to that place in the code of the package body.
    So for example, let's say I have a package called Pkg_DoStuff. Pkg_DoStuff has three procedures, Foo1, Foo2, and Foo3. When I expand Pkg_DoStuff in the Oracle Explorer windows, I see nodes for Foo1, Foo2, and Foo3. Now, if I double click on Foo3, I would like the code window to place the cursor at the start of the Foo3 procedure in the package body.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Another feature request:
    Please add a Raptor feature to the Data Connections and allow users to apply filters to tree browsing. We use Oracle Apps 11i, and there must be about 50 thousand tables, views and packages that can potentially be visible. It usually takes several minutes for the Data Connections tree to respond when I bring up a list of tables even for a login with limited access. However, with the filter applied in raptor, I can browse very quickly to tables, views and packages that I need.
    Thank you.

  • Am i facing a stuck or dead pixel?

    so whenever i turn on my macbook pro camera, sometimes a blue or green dot appears on the Screen of the laptop. is this a stuck or dead pixel and how to fix it? its really annoying as its a brand new macbook pro. i think you guys can feel me

    If it only appears when you turn on the camera then it's not a stuck pixel.  If it only sometimes appears when you turn on the camera then it's not a stuck pixel.  If it's sometimes blue and sometimes green then it's not a stuck pixel.  A stuck pixel would always be there, always the same colour, whatever you were doing on your computer.
    Whereabouts is this dot appearing.  The camera has a green indicator light above the screen which illuminates when the camera is on.  My apologies if I'm stating the obvious, but I'm just considering the possibility that you're maybe confusing this with a stuck pixel!

  • Why does disc show as filled with only one small file added?

    I'm also new to Apple.  I've a MacBook Pro - Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  I've checked the documentation and help information and followed the instructios.  The blank CD-R  shows as (CD-R;  BLANK - Yes; ERASEABLE - Yes; OVERWRITABLE - Yes; APPENDABLE- yes).  I wrote one small file to the CD using the Burn Folder.  The file was on the CD, but all available space was used with zero remaining.   The disc is not erasable.  One response to an earlier question to look for multisesson recorder and select leave disc appendable or look for a triangle in top right.  Could not find this.  I'm sure this is another area where I'm just looking in the wrong place for instruction.  Any help is appreciated.

    See these instructions:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1515120
    Note, you will likely have to start with a new blank CD.  Once burnt without appendability selected, it often can't be appended in the future.

    Implementation:
    As per my knowledge implementation is first time the company is going to use (implement or install) SAP.SAP R/3 with all the module are which are the module business need depends on the business requirement.
    Normally the phases in a SAP R3 implementation project would be the following:
    Project Preparation
    Business Blueprint
    Realization
    Final Preparation
    Go Live (Pre go live ,Post go live)
    Upgrade :
    Version upgrade     
    Company is using sap already they are going for higher version of Sap example R/3 4.7 to ECC5.0/ECC6.0(R/3 Version upgrade)
    Other upgrades
    Database upgrade or Migration
    One data base to another database(Example SQL to ORACLE)(Oracle 8.0 to 10G)
    OS Upgrade or Migration
    One OS to another OS(Windows to UNIX)
    Sap Module Upgrade
    New sap module addition to existing R/3 which is not implemented later business improvement or going to some other new additional business (like PP,TPVS,HR)
    FMCG to Hotels,Packing division(SAP Company they are going to use the same server and R/3)
    Additional Sap Component
    Company may need additional SAP component like BW,CRM,SRM,APO this is also part of upgrade but this is not Full life cycle .
    Full lifecycle upgrade
    SAP R/3 version upgrade with all existing sap module with sap component.
    Basis:
    Every phase basis involvement must be there.

    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33231:40:::NO:::
    and tell me what you think...
    Has been tested with Firefox 2.0 and some basic testing with IE6.0
    More details coming soon.

    I have uploaded some details about the solution and how to integrate it into your own application.

    As I have written in the blog posting, I'm really new to JavaScript, just started 1 1/2 month ago and I'm currently on page 351 (total 994) of the JavaScript - The Definitive Guilde. So if you look at my code and think, man are you crazy, why you write that much code to do that, it's a simple regular expression and you are done! Please let me know!
    The JavaScript stuff was more work as I thought (especially if it should work with Firefox and IE), you really appreciate the build in TO_DATE and TO_NUMBER and it's flexibility when you have to implement that by yourself. :-)
    At least I haven't found a JavaScript validation toolbox which is compatible with the format mask settings of Oracle.
    Call for testing:
    -) I want know if the format mask checks I implemented work for all the combinations out there. The weird American ones with AM/PM and the month at be beginning should also work ;-)
    -) If the inline error display also works with other themes and userdefined label templates.
    So please plug it into your application and do a test drive of the new Ferrari! ;-)

  • It's one small step for mankind, but one giant leap for me (DSP program)

    Hi guys,I don´t know if it is a off-topic here or if someone is interested.
    I was developing a DSP program i Java. All I told that I was developing this software
    said it was impossible. The JVM is very heavy, is an interpreted language etc. But it is working
    and with a good performance. Is a SDR (software defined radio) software, it is not finished but if anybody
