Pixel Issue With Screen

I've had my iPod video for less than 90 days. I purchased it through a local Best Buy retail store. Just a few weeks ago, I noticed that there is a discolored pixel on my screen. It shows up primarily when the screen is black (i.e: when loading videos, playing games, etc.) The pixel is red consistently and does not change color with the rest of the screen.
I know this seems like a trivial issue. However, having the iPod for less than 90 days, something like this really shouldn't have occurred in the first place. The iPod is not damaged in any way. It works perfectly fine, otherwise.
I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem with their iPod video or if anybody has any recommendation as to what I should do about it.
Thanks. :]

I've been to that page multiple times. But, I'm always unclear of what's going to happen to my iPod in the repair process once I send it off (i.e: all my mp3's being deleted, my whole iPod being reset, etc.).
I've read the legalities and it seems like there's so many strings attached. That's why I was wondering if there's anything that I can do myself to fix it so that I don't have to send it off or if I could just take it to an Apple Store.
Any other suggestions?

  • HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH SCREEN CRACKING FOR NO REASON???

    HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SCREEN CRACKING ON ITS OWN???

    Good Suggestion Tiki  And my suggestion try to keep your Device from getting to Hot, Protect it as well as you can, if your going to Pocket it Make sure it has allot of free space around it..

  • Pixelation issues with VoD

    Getting pixelation and sound dropping through ALL of certain shows.
    I have read through the forums: I've checked my wiring, I have tried playing with the AC on and off... everything I have seen here, but there is a catch witch proves (I believe) that it is not my hardware.
    For instance, I felt like watching Game of Thrones today...
    Season 4 Ep 1 - Could not watch due to pixelation and sound dropping through ENTIRE episode
    Ep 2 - Watched it just fine
    Ep 3 - BAD
    4 - GOOD
    5 - BAD
    6 - GOOD
    7 - BAD
    8 - GOOD
    9 - BAD
    10 - BAD
    The "Good" ones are flawless, no problems, absolutely what I pay for...
    The "Bad" ones are unwatchable in any way.
    I am seeing this intermittant GOOD and BAD quality On Demand often lately.
    What's going on and please do not tell me to reconnect my equipment (which I have done just in case) The above problems do not describe an issue with my hardware.
    I have so few reasons to ever complain about my service, I love you guys!! But this is way more than irritating for the amount of money I pay each month.

    I have been experiencing this on all VOD TV shows and movies since installing Quantum VMS and clients. VZ tech came out to check signal (excellent) and said it is a known problem for 3 weeks now. VZ customer service personnel just refuse to admit it.  I am in Virginia Beach.

  • Will I have Issues with Screen if Connected to PC for long periods?

    I picked up a new 80g ipod to replace my old 20g gen 2, and I want to use it at work to play music through my computer. I am concerned about the Do Not Disconnect message with the flashing icon being displayed for 10 hours at a time every day. Am I going to get any characters or images burned on the display? I didn't think LCD's were subject to burning, but seems that some folks out there have had some issues.
    Many thanks,
    Ken

  • Strange Vertical lines and pixelation issues with my Powerbook screen...Hel

    I have got a problem with mt LCD screen which now permanently displays lines of "dead" pixels, but they can't be dead because they chaneg all the time. If I move a window, I get lots more, which are created by the edge of the window, like a ghosting? Does that make sense?
    I have taken a screen grab, but not sure how to feature it in these forums. Anyone got any ideas or know about this problem?
    I have had a similar problem with this and other laptops, but it has always been a temporary thing before, when I had overloaded the system or something, and I got 'ghosting' from the trailing edge of a window, but this is permanently there?

    I have now attached a monitor to the PB, and it happens on the monitor too...maybe suggesting something wrong with the graphics card or logic board, rather than the screen itself. When I type this message, I get strange red 'ghosting' lines where the cursor moves across the page.It reminds me of the 'Etch-o-sketch' game, where you draw lines, and then wipe them off. I can move a window from left to right and get these ghosting lines. When I move the window back right to left, they erase the lines to the left of the window, but I get more to the trailing right edge of the window...i.e. on the right of the screen.
    Scrolling also removes these pixels, but creates new ones elsewhere.
    Any ideas?

  • Pixelation issue with logo

    OK, so this issue is now the bane of my existence.  I have a logo that I created in Illustrator CS5 that I use on my website but also on Facebook.  Here is a link to my logo on my domain:
    http://www.tortacouture.co.uk/logo.jpg
    This looks fine and exactly how I want it to appear.  However here is the exact same logo (multiple times) in my facebook album.
    http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.235689163125829.73019.235686989792713
    This might be easier to see on a laptop where you can tilt the screen but notice the pixelation around the letters and at the edge of the circle.  When I remove the letters the orange in the centre has no pixelation but it is still around the edges.  I uploaded the same logo but in green and the pixelation is still there however it's hardly noticable.  I need to have this logo in the orange/red colour and even when I use web safe colours the issue still persists.
    I have tried the following things which have not helped:
    saved as .png, .tiff, .gif, .jpg
    saved for web
    exported
    exported to photoshop
    web safe colours
    align to pixel grid
    removed anti-aliasing
    resizing
    This is driving me mad - so any help is hugely appreciated.
    Thanks

    I took the larger jpeg you had and saved that for the web and got this
    which looks pretty good you shoud be able to do better with your save for the web.
    I know the problem, in the Save for the Web and Device you should select either Art Optimise or Text Optimize
    right now you probably have none selected.

  • TP Yoga numerous issues with screen and digitizer

    Hello
    Summary:
    I bought a 20CD0001IV about two months ago (Demopool). I need it for work and drawing, but so far I have numerous issues. And right now I'm kinda lost: What should I do? Send a support question to lenovo/IBM EC? Contact my retailer? Are these common problems? I'm also not sure about my warranty. The Lenovo Solution Center says, I still have warranty. The different parts of the website say different things. I'll assume worst case: My warranty is likely expired.
    I tried:
    Fresh Installation Windows 8.1, newest drivers, newest Wacom drivers. Tried different settings. Calibration, Pressure Curves, all the stuff. Have 3 different Pens. Searched google, searches this forum...
    Problems:
    Massive Ghosting, I know, there is a solution on the forum. It says to replace the old screen with a newer model, but is this possible if the warranty is expired?
    Calibration is a mess! The digitizer point wobbles under the pen, this is most obvious near the screen border, where straight lines turn into curves. But it's also an issue in the middle of the screen. In some places the cursor is 2mm top left of the actual pen tip, in other places it's bottom right UNDER the pen. I tried all kinds of calibration already... I know about a "dead spot" issue, but this was fixed with a firmware update and my issue is all over the place, not just one spot.
    The screen is not very solid. Even medium pressure with the pen leads to dark and light display glitches near the tip. 
    Pen pressure "clipping". The 100%-Pressure is reached waaaay too quickly when I actually press with medium force. This leads to a very screwed pressure curve, where drawing lighlty or drawing medium is a lot harder, because there is not much scope. Basically, I draw with 100% Pressure 90% of the time. 100% should only be reached when I press intentionally hard.... I tried this with different pens, it's not an issue of the pen. (This is also not the first wacom device I use, so I can compare... I'm not just heavy handed...). The wacom settings themselves are not of real use, they only influence to curve from 0 to 100, but can't move the 100%-Point itself (maybe someone has a better understanding of the wacom settings and knows how to do it)
    Edit: ...The ThinkPad Logo just came off, too o_O
    To be honest, this is terrible quality for a lot of money. I could live with one or two issues, but this is almost unusable. I wonder if those are common problems and all Yogas have a screen like this. I had a Samsung Slate before and the screen was like solid glass and did not dent at all and I never had so many problems at once.
    I don't expect solutions for those problems. But I hope that someone can point me into the right direction like "Yeah, this is a known hardware thing, read this...". If someone knows a good tool to troubleshoot/analyse Wacom Input let me know (I only tried the Pressure Curve Tool).
    Is there any hope at all if my warranty is really expired?

    I did some more testing with the maximum pressure issue. And it might be related to the pressure level of pens. As far as I know the Yoga supports 1024 levels. I have a new Wacom PL-900 and it has only 512, and the pressure problem is strongest. It is the same with the original Yoga pen, I'd say - even though this should have 1024 levels? But with an old Samsung Series 7 pen I need to press harder to reach 100% pressure - although it is still not really "hard". I'm not entirely sure how many pressure levels the Samsung Slate pen has, thought it was 510, but have seen some reviews mentioning 1024...
    Anyway, I posted this issue in the wacom forums.

  • Issue with Screen Resolution-All is enlarged

    Cheers to all
    SInce yesterday all was ok with my 13" mb
    When I turned it on today , I found all screen enlarged and a strange fuzzy effect on the fonts!
    I didn't change anything in System Preferences/Display
    If i try to change manually the screen resolution , all is enlarged once again but there's 2 blue boundaries whit every setting , except 1280x800.
    In Colors i have : Million , and the brightness fader is all up
    Hope you can help me solve this fastidious issue , and excuse me for my english

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    If the image on your screen appears too large, the zoom option might been turned on in System Preferences.
    To turn off zoom:
    1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Universal Access.
    2. Click Seeing.
    3. Click the Off button under Zoom.

  • Issue with screen resolution

    Hi,
    I need my VI to run on different screen resolutions.
    But the problem is that when the resolution changes the controls get distorted and i have to restart the applicaiton to bring the screen to origional form.
    I need to resize the controls according to the window size so i have checked the option to "scale objects while resizing".  
    I think this is why the controls get distorted besause of resizing.
    Is there any solution if want to keep both options for resizing and adjusting the screen for different resolutions.
    Regards
    Gagan 

    When you resize a VI automatically, the original size is not cached, thus changes are permanent.  If you resize again, the changes start from the changed values, not the original values.  Factor in the some integer roundoff issues and you have your problem.  In addition, different versions of LabVIEW have varying degrees of distortion as you change the screen size and system controls have limits on how they can change their size.  The only way to guarantee nice looking, scaleable panels is to do it all yourself programmatically (change location, size, and font sizes).  This is tedious, but straightforward, and you should only have to do it once.  It is made more difficult by the fact that there is no standard way to change the size of a control.  Use the event structure to determine when your panel has been resized.  Use the Defer Panel Updates property to speed the process.  In addition, you probably want to throttle the events so you don't get behind in processing them.  The easiest way to do this is to compare the new size reported by the Panel Resize event with the value from a property node which reads the panel size.  If they are equal, process the event.  If they are not, do nothing.  The last event will always be processed because the sizes will be the same.
    Good luck!  Let us know if you run into difficulties.

  • Negative black issue with screen

    The negative black issue was very pronounced on my first generation iPhone... and I'm also noticing it on my new one, but to a lesser degree. Anybody else seeing this?
    www.appleservedup.com has a screen test to test for the negative black issue.

    Yep, that's what my screen looks like. Makes it very difficult to watch video with lots of dark colors. I had this problem on my first iPhone, and was hoping it'd be resolved on the new 3G, but nope
    If you have a chance, do the screen test at appleservedup.com. The color in the boxes should be significantly lighter than the black background. If not, you probably have the negative black issue.

  • 10.4.6 Issues with screen saver security and Finder Inspector dialog

    Now that I've updated my system to 10.4.6, I no longer have password protection on my screen saver. I also can no longer right-click, select Inspector, and lock multiple files at once.
    I can open Inspector and lock multiple files using the key command with no problem. It's just when I try to right-click that doesn't work. Inspector comes up, but it's available only for the entire disk -- it does not show multiple files. And a lock box to check doesn't exist anywhere in the dialogue box. Note that this is only a problem with files on my slave partition. My master drive is OK.
    Anyone else have these issues?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Sometimes if preference files are corrupt an update will simply reinforce their being corrupt. Try resetting them from the program that activates them. The password screen saver is in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Security mentioned in:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303548
    As for the inspector, I don't know where that is controlled, but maybe someone else here will know.

  • Issue with screen

    I have a 3gs and the screen no longer dims when the phone is put up to my ear. This causes a good amount of problems when I'm trying to talk on the phone. If this is in the wrong spot sorry but any help would be great.
    Thanks

    I should also note it wasn't long ago that I put a new screen in. Anyone have an idea of which cable 1,2, or 3 deals with this issue so I can make sure its seated good.

  • OPM 10.3 - Conversion Issue with Screens from 10.2

    Hello All,
    We upgraded one of our rulebases to 10.3 today.
    On build and debug, our summary screen seemed out of order
    In reviewing the screen, it seems that the screen items have been sorted, with the labels at the top and the goals at the bottom.
    The other screens appear to be fine.
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Allan

    Hi Gibson
    I think u can try this...although its not exactly the same issue we had but somewhat similar...compatibility issue...
    On OPM v10.3 u create new project...add all the files from the project folder u had created on version 10.2 to the new project u have created on 10.3...all the files...word files, excel sheets, properties files, screen files etc...now u try to build and run the new project...it worked for us...if u have done any changes to the appearances of the screens with html or css then copy all the files from folders under this folder C:\projects\<ur project name>\Release\web-determinations\WEB-INF of the project created in the 10.2 to the same folders under the same directory of the project u have created on 10.3...I hope this will help
    Cheers and Regards

  • Latest Firmware Update Issues with Screen Sensitivity

    Hi All,
    I synced my original iphone a few days ago and it required a firmware update. Since then, I have had numerous problems with the touchscreen for email and texting. Sometimes, I cannot open a folder on one of my emails or send a text because hitting the "send" icon does nothing. I've restarted my phone and reset it but have not yet tried a restore. Had anyone else had these issues?
    And do you have any other suggestions I should try before doing a restore? Many thanks.
    Kathy

    Do not know about its compatibility and functionality.. but if you are OK with Beta softwares.. you may have a look at..
