S12 ION stuck pixel ?

I have had my S12 ION for a little over a month now.  A few days ago I started seeing a bright blue dot which I think is called a stuck pixel on my display.  Now it is always there and is pretty annoying. 
Is there anything I can do to get rid of the bright dot on my screen?
Other then that, I have really enjoyed using this netbook. 
Thanks

Hi , akaradar ... you can try to live with that  "little blue alien laser", as my pre-poster says  ....
or use your warranty ... call your local service ... i would try that ...

  • Fixed - bent connector - S12 ION poor wireless performanc​e - Lenovo support no help

    Hi forum,
    I received my Thanksgiving deal S12 ION last week.  The size and format are perfect, the overall performance just what it needs to be, but the wireless performance is unacceptable.  I work for IBM, and have a T60P work laptop and two Y430 laptops, all of which have perfect full bars of wireless signal throughout my house.  But this S12 ION has only three bars in my office next to the wireless G router, and only one to two bars in the next room.  From any other room in the house I cannot connect. 
    I verified that I have the most recent wireless drivers installed.  The ones it shipped with are the most recent on the Lenovo support site.
    I called Lenovo technical support.  After waiting on hold, I was connected, then dropped after another 30 minute on hold.  The second time I called in, I was told I needed to turn on the wireless using the switch.  I informed the tech that I was already connected and that the issue was poor signal.  He then suggested removing Lenovo readycomm, but that is not installed on this S12.  Finally he told me that this is just a netbook, not a laptop and that if I do not like it I should return it. 
    I am so angry with this poor support I would return it immediately, if it were not for the 15% return fee.
    Does anyone else have wireless issues?  Am I mistaken about this being a nice wireless connectivity tool?
    At the price I paid, $399, I can dump this on eBay, but I am seriously disappointed.
    Solved!

    Hi Forum,
    I opened the wireless card slot after reading in other netbook forums that some have had loose antenna connectors. At first I thought that was what I had as one of the leads, the black one, was not seated. It turns out that the connector on the wireless card was bent open.
    See pics:

    I bent the ring connector closed, reattached the antenna lead, and now I have great signal. Thought you would be interested in the pics.
    I am going to call Lenovo and ask them to replace the wireless card, as there is no guarantee the connector is not damaged, but it is working fine for now.

  • Does the warranty cover a stuck pixel?

    Will the warranty cover a stuck pixel on my iPad 2?

    Warranty should cover screen defects but not accidental damage. Only way to know is to visit an Apple store and ask.

  • Creating a Windows 7 installation disk for S12-ION (and similar)...

    In a recent (now dissapeard) thread the subject of creating a backup Windows 7 Installation disk that will work with the Win7 Home Premuim OA key on the sticker on the bottom of S12-IONs.
    Unfortunately that thread got stomped on because it strayed off path.
    So, I've started this thread to discuss the afore mentioned subject and request that we do not discuss anything outside that that we are legally allowed to do (and I suggest it might be sensible to avoid making any kind of comment that could be deemed to be outside the acceptable usage policy for these forums).
    OK, so, does anyone have any further information on this process?
    I know we need to start with a (legally obtained) Win7 install disk.
    This can then be altered to operate as any given (or optionally all) version of Windows 7 install disk.
    However, does the disk that one alters need to be a specific version?
    My guess would be that a Windows 7 Ultimate disk is most likely to work, but I suspect all Windows 7 install disks are essentially identical, bar a configuration that one needs to modify.
    Now, one could also, at this point, 'slip-stream' the disk to contain specific drivers, or required other software, for the target hardware (in my case, an S12-ION).
    Would this be necessary?
    What S12-ION drivers/software need to/can be slipstreamed in this way?
    I'm sure there are other questions too...
    Anyway, I plan to do some research, and will post what I find, but if anyone else knows anything about either of these processes, please feel free to contribute...
    Scott

    'Sweet', as I believe 'the kids' say these days.
    Though, I'm still going to look into slipstreaming stuff into a disk - essentially I want what I wish Lenovo provided - one disk with all the base-level drivers and Lenovo management software pre-installed - so I can manage my HDD my way.
    @omgmog: it's exactly those *ways* (or, rather, those that are legal) that this thread is here to discuss...
    Now, an update on my research: I need to stand corrected on one point - Microsoft haven't made it all that easy...
    But, unless Lenovo come up with, I dunno, maybe an iso I can just download and burn to disk, I'm going to keep going and see if I can figure out what the best, most hassle free, way of achieving our legal right is.

  • Dead or stuck pixel

    Hello,
    I'm new to the forum here having recently converted. I've done a search or 2 on this issue but found nothing of note. I have one dead pixel(well its green or white sometimes) in the middle of the screen and its very annoying. I've read through all the support pages and found the usual pixel anomalies page explaing all about it.
    But It only mentions LCD's. There's no mention of LED screen, so would I be right in saying that there is no material specifying the restrictions of this and it would be considered a fault?

    Vermelho88 wrote:
    But what I mean is, they have no policy for LED screens stated yet so therefore its just plain faulty, as in "not as described" so wouldn't they have to replace it straight away?
    It's still an LCD display. The Al MacBook displays use LED (as opposed to fluorescent) backlighting. A dead/stuck pixel is still an LCD malfunction. One dead pixel is considered normal. If it weren't the cost to the manufacturer would be considerably more in terms of rejected parts and warranty returns.

  • T510 Random Stuck Pixels?

    I received my T510 FHD Thinkpad about a month ago and over the last few days it started to display random stuck pixels (always on - white).  I say random because they eventually go away when I open and close windows or reboot the computer.  Mysteriously reappearing later at random (not in the same spots if I recall correctly)???
    After doing some internet research, I ran JScreenFix (http://www.jscreenfix.com/) for about an hour on full screen.  The problem persists.
    My son suggested this could be a driver issue (supported by the fact that the pixel becomes "unstuck" when shutting down Windows XP and doesn't appear until Windows finishes booting up).  I am using the most recent Nvidia drivers so I'm hoping this is not isolated.
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciate.
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Update
    This is apparently an issue exclusive to Windows XP.  I used a separate HD and installed Windows 7 - no temporarily stuck pixels.
    Have to assume this is a driver issue.  Hopefully, Lenovo/Nvidia will release a fix soon.
    Any other ideas/fixes would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • I'm a student, non-earning, how can I get rid of this stuck pixel?

    I recently saved up for a Macbook Pro 13" (2010) for my graphic design college course and I cared for it as soon as it came. It suddently got a red Stuck pixel near the centre on the right. I'm really upset because I have only had it for about 3 weeks. I was going to use it to design and create on, but this red pixel keeps distracting me. 
    I have tried JScreenfix a few times, left it on for about an hour, still was there. I feel bad leaving the screen on for so long anyway, considered leaving it on all night, but don't want to if it won't work. I have also touched it a few times, but that feels bad.
    Any suggestions? I've booked an appointment with the Apple Store near me..

    Hi you have an excellent computer - leaving it on all night will not harm it. If you follow the instructions in the link below the battery should give you years of service:

  • Stuck Pixels + Dust

    I have had my iPod for 4 months now and have had 2 stuck pixels since i got it, they have only just started annoing me as i have now started watching movies.
    Added to this i have quite a large amount of dust behind the screen mainly in the top left corner, there are also one or two coloured particles whitch i am unable to identify, they are the size of 4 pixels and still appear wjen the screen is off, clearly the seal is broken or somthing along those lines as i have allways kept my iPod in an Apple iPod sock from the day I got it. I feel rather dissapointed by theese factors as the Multi-Touch display is the main feature of the iPod touch. I would like advice on where to go next... Should i visit an Apple Retail store os Send it in Online? I would also like to know if a refund is a possibility because as old phone has now ceased to function, i would like to get the iPhone... Would this be possible and how could i do this.
    Thanks for Your Help Phil.

    Phil,
    There isn't much you can do about returning it or trading it. Apple gives you the 30 day grace period after purchase to return for a full refund and clearly 4 months is beyond this period. My suggestion would be to take it in, have it replaced (as it is still under warranty), then try and resell it on CraigsList or eBay.

  • Qosmio G25: Vertical lines of stuck pixels

    I have a huge problem with my Toshiba Qosmio G25:
    My LCD screen has 2 lines of stuck pixels, one pixel wide, running from top to bottom. Before continuing I would like to stress that my computer has not had any physical trauma of any kind and generally is used like a desktop.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there any quick fix which I can handle on my own or is the only solution sending in the laptop for service? How are problems like this handled, will toshiba replace the screen or will they completely replace the computer? I would much rather prefer fixing this on my own with your suggestions as opposed to a lengthy wait on service.
    All my schoolwork depends on my computer and I would be powerless without it for several weeks. Please if anyone has encountered this issue and resolved it, I would appreciate it if they could share their experience and knowledge.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello Makaroni
    It is not easy to say if this occurs because of LCD malfunction or even because of defective graphic card. You can check how it works with external monitor to see if the problem persists.
    Anyway I dont believe you can do anything on your own especially if the graphic card or LCD display is defective. The hardware must be replaced. I know that it is very annoying but I recommend you to contact service in your country. Save all your data to USB memory stick and try to finish your work on some friends PC.

  • X220 with backlight leak and stuck pixel

    I just ordered x220 from lenovo. I recived the box yesterday and found my new thinkpad had many backlight leak and 1 stuck pixel at the center. I am very disappoint with it. Can I return it, change to new one or send to lenovo sevice center in thailand to change my IPS display.
    I ordered it on 5/26/11. My friend in USA passed it to me on 6/6/11 then I recieved package in Thailand on 6/10/11.
    This is my backlight leak.

    Unfortunately I can not take stuck pixel image.
    I hope lenovo will help me fix this problem.
    Thank you.

    welcome to the forum!
    the current policy is that a display must have three or more dead or stuck pixels to be considered defective.   one is simply not enough.
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-69856
    regarding the backlight bleed, it looks normal to me for an LED notebook panel.   i could create a condition where even $5000 IPS graphics displays show some sort of backlight bleed on a black background with brightness at full power.   no display is perfect in this regard.   my X220 IPS panel has a slight amount of bleed under the right conditions but is only noticable 1% of the time.
    if this is unsatisfactory, you may try contacting lenovo support in thailand at 1-800-060-066 or 66 2273 4088 between 8AM and 5PM monday-friday.   however, please note that they will likely refer to the same pixel policy above.   whether or not they will make an acception due to the location of the stuck pixel is up to them.
    also, i've removed your second account "eldonler" as we don't allow members to have more than one login per our community participation rules.   thanks for understanding.

  • Stuck Pixels

    How is the quality of the iPhone display? Anyone seeing stuck pixels? Mine is free of stuck pixels but incase I find something odd in the 14 day exchange period I want to weigh that against the stuck pixel, which I would hate! How hard is it to remove the sim?

    Go to the following link on your iPhone Safari browser. It is a handy (and free) web-based application that helps you see if you have any dead/stuck pixels.
    http://iphonedpt.bravehost.com/
    A few posts have appeared on these forums about dead/stuck pixels, but it does not seem to be a major problem.
    The SIM is easy to remove. See page 113 of the iPhone User Guide.

  • Any way to fix a stuck pixel?

    I have a 5530 with one stuck pixel. Not dead. Glows white, so I know its alive. Is there any way to fix it, or should I bother complaining about it to the dealer? It really doesn't bother me much, because it is in the edge of the screen and normally I do not notice it, but I do know it is there, so I am asking for advice.
    Thanks.

  • HT4623 I have da stuck pixel on my screen. On my iphone5. What can I do?

    I have da stuck pixel on my screen. On my iphone5. What can I do?

    Hi! Sorry for the late reply.
    You could go back to Verizon, though it's highly likely they might send it away for repair. If you go into an Apple Retail Store instead they tend to do everything on the spot.
    Not entirely sure with Verizon's options (Im in Australia) but can only give it a try

  • Hp veer stuck pixels?

    I have a new veer that i got off from someone unlocked over ebay. A few weeks i reboot the phone and notice that theres around 8-10 stuck pixels on the screen. I tried looking for a way to get it fixed over warranty, but it only gives a phone number to AT&T, which I dont have. Is there a way i can get the warranty for my phone over the stuck pixels?
    thanks!
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    You can call webOS tech support at 877-426-3777 to get a repair or replacement set up. If this device has been modified for another carrier it will be restored back to AT&T defaults including it being locked to AT&T.

  • IPhone 5 stuck pixels

    i have 3 stuck pixels on my screen. Can i use my warranty for this?
    what is the policy of Apple about the stuck pixels?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    I had my iphone in my pocket yesterday when I was in the workshop at college. I was in a car and my leg got wedged by the steering wheel, the leg with the iphone in the pocket. Checking it after, the phone was fine and is protected by a leather case. Later on, I was in my car using my phone to play music. I noticed a little cluster of greyish pixels. Thought not much of it, as it's a second hand iphone and is out of warranty, but this morning, (after my partner threw my phone across the room onto the bed), there are now lines travelling a long the screen from this small cluster.
    I'm not sure whether they're dead or not. I would rather have apple look at it, but I want to know how expensive it is to get a screen repair, or whether it worth paying for a whole recondition phone.
    Not having luck the past two months with phones. If I get a new one, it'll be my third.
