,,, what is that picture ...
That's an extreme close-up photo of a "dead" green sub-pixel on a 24" ALU iMac display. The photo shows an area 5 pixels wide by 7 pixels high (about 1.4 mm x 1.9 mm). Each pixel consists of a three sub-pixels (one red, one blue, one green).
In the photo, the dead green sub-pixel looks like a large black gap -- but to the naked eye, it looked for all the world like a tiny magenta dot stuck "ON." With a dot that small, it would be very easy to mistake magenta for dark red -- it sure had me fooled for a while.
As I understand it, there's a fair chance of reviving a sub-pixel that's stuck "ON" -- but not much hope for one that's stuck "OFF." So, a +bright red+ defect is more likely to respond to pixel-fixing tricks than a magenta one.
BTW, a red sub-pixel that's stuck "ON" will remain red when viewed against a pure black background, and will disappear when viewed against a pure white backgbound. A green sub-pixel that's stuck "OFF" will disappear against a black background, and will appear magenta (or dark red) against a white background.
...good luck,
Looby

    Just curious. IF I bought my IP through ATT and I had a major problem that required replacement, could I go to either an ATT store or an Apple store? Or would I be restricted?
    I did order mine directly from att.com.

  • "error occurred while loading this content" ... ATV2 not even 24hrs old...

    I just bought this ATV2. I am using AT&T internet with an EDGE250AEW wireless router and a Motorola modem.
    I'm attempting to rent movies with my ATV2 and watch them. After a myriad of times of trying to just sign into my iTunes account via ATV2, I finally was able to rent a movie.
    When I click on the movie to rent, I'll press "PLAY" and it will give me the message "error occurred while loading this content".
    I realize my internet connection is slow (1.5M) so I am renting in SDef ... but that still shouldn't be preventing me from even being able to rent a movie.
    I attempt to watch a movie preview ... and a 2 minute movie preview takes over 5 minutes to load ... and it wont start playing until it's completely loaded. Bollocks!
    I have updated my software, I have rebooted, I have restarted, I have recycled ... no avail.
    Is this a PORT opening issue? I dont know what is going on but it's REALLY frustrating to have a 100 dollar paper weight.
    I AM able to use home sharing and watch movies from my Macbook iTunes to the ATV2 ... but rentals from the store via the ATV2 doesn't work.
    help please

    You are definitely NOT the only one here with this MAJOR issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2615363
    I have the same issue, and I have a 6MB AT&T Elite Pro DSL service that I have always had since purchasing my ATV2 in October. Never have I had these issues until the 4.2 update. Horrible software bug and it keeps coming back up. TV shows, movies, etc. No rhyme or reason. Some shows new, some old. Some movies HD, some SD. It is almost as if the Apple TV rolls a die and if I get an odd number, I get the error message. Even number, it plays through...
    Why would Apple continue to release software updates that do not address these issues? We have to keep leaving Apple feedback on this issue that is big enough that over 13,000 views on their own message board confirm this problem since the 4.2 software update a few weeks ago...

  • K8n NEO4 bios update to 1D: audigy + pci modem = no start (not even video signal

    I updated my old 1.4 bios (alredy updated once) to 1D. The system was running fine but i was preparing for dual core update.
    After bios update the neo4 was like dead. Not even video signal.
    I removed both SB audigy and pci adsl modem and it started as usual.
    If i add 1 pci card only (audigy OR PCI modem) the system works, while if i add BOTH the cards it is dead.
    Changing slots did not solve the problem.
    System is running with defaults values.
    Any bios setting? do i have to go back to 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 bios to use an athlon 64 X2 4800+?

  • New Nokia N9 and not even 1.1 update???

    Hey all. When is PR 1.2 or at least PR 1.1 coming for Nokia N9 in Hungary, product code: 059M147 Cyan. I've just bought it today after months of saving and was looking forward to installing the updates but I hit the cold shower when realizing there's not even the old 1.1 available.
    So I beg someone to tell me if the updates are even coming so I can return the phone if they don't, thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Winterdeath,
    Thank you for your first post and welcome to the Nokia discussion forums.
    Where did you purchase this device? Was it brand new? Is the time and date set correctly?
    Also have a look at the following link: 
    http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n9/user-guide?ccf_name=nokia-n9/guide/GUID-1BC62312-...
    It has information on how to update the software, how to update via the phone or via the PC.
    I have also attached a link to a video guide on how to do this as well:
    http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n9/software
    I recommend trying to update the phone via the PC. By downloading and running the Nokia software updater application this should apply the latest version. You can download device updater from the below link:
    http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/device-software-update
    Let me know if this helps.

  • 24" iMac drive nightmare - not even a day old

    Well, Im very unlucky!
    My old 20" intel mac is going back to Apple because of a faulty DVDR drive.
    I thought to my self, Ill buy a 24" iMac and sell my old one once its fixed.
    8 hours into using my new iMac 24" after burning 4 or 5 DVDs, the mac fails to finish burning a dvdr at around 90%. First I try the cancel button on Toast but this just hangs forever. I force quit toast then force restart the mac. At this point I was hoping for the dvdr to eject but no such luck.
    I now have a dvdr stuck in the drive and no way to eject it! Ive tried all the suggested ways, mouse down at start up, F12, eject, resetting pram, resetting firmware, boot in target drive then eject and nothing works.
    In apple profiler the drive (pioneer) doesnt even get detected although I do hear it spin up at boot up.
    ANY IDEAS?

    I have managed to get the DVD out! Turned the computer off and got some very small twisers and pulled the DVD out.
    Problem is not solved though as my mac will not recognize the drive at all.
    I can hear it spinning up but its not responding.
    I will call Apple tomorrow and get it exchanged, its only a day old. Hope I don't get any hassle.
    So this makes my 3rd faulty iMac in 2 years! not great...
    1 was a faulty motherboard
    2 faulty dvd drives
    Is there anything I can try to make the imac recognize the drive?

I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up or crash with the older version. Is this problem being looked into and or being corrected. I use Firefox with Google and my system is XP Pro 32 bit. THIS IS REALLY making me MAD. My email is [email protected] and would appreciate a response to this ASAP.

    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode.

    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

  • 5 days old MBP C2D - dead HD - what 2 do?

    Just purchased a new 2.33 GHz C2D (5 days old) and the hard drive will no longer respond, tried all the tools, can't even re-install the system software.
    I'm taking it back to the Aplle store where purchased today. BUT, old dead HD has personal and business confidential info on it. What's Apple policy in physically destroying old hard drives if replaced under warranty?
    Thanks for any advice...

    Providing you go to an Apple authorised service centre that does the repairs themselves you should have no problem getting the dead drive back as long as you pay for the new one.
    Otherwise, you might want to consider doing the job yourself even though it technically voids warranty. While not a sanctioned suggestion and I would honestly recommend having a service centre do it, it's not a difficult job if you have the right tools and it'll be far cheaper.
