Small hair under my iPad screen

I've just discovered a short, very fine piece of hair under the screen of my New iPad. It's not particularly noticeable* and I don't propose to ask for a refund on cosmetic reasons only, but I don't know how the retina display works or whether the hair could cause damage to it in the long run. Any chance it could become a problem?
Thanks for any help you can give.
*By "not particularly noticeable" I mean that I got this iPad on the first date of sale and only noticed the hair today!

Take it to the Apple store & you'll probably get a replacement.
 Cheers, Tom

  • Dirt under the ipad screen

    Hi,
    I realizes there's a bit of dust under the ipad screen. did anyone encounter that before? can it be send to the service center to check? Thanks

    I'd take it back. If it is new they should give you a new one. Otherwise, they should give you a serviced one. In either event, it goes without saying, make rue you back it up first.

  • Small hair/dead pixel behind screen 10 weeks old MBP

    Hello,
    I have a 10 weeks old MBP and now I was browsing the web when I noticed a very small hair behind my screen
    it's aprox 2-3 mm in length but it really annoys me because of 2 facts
    It's in the centre of my screen
    My MBP is 10 weeks old!
    However it also could be a line of dead pixels.
    I already read some threads about this and most of them say that I have to go to the Apple store,
    but I live in Belgium? I don't know if the service is the same as in the US?
    thanks!

    Hello Michiel0lb,
    No, I'm sorry but I can't be that positive.  I don't use MBP, I have never seen their guarantee and the interpretation of a fault has to be with the examiner ... in your case, Switch.    That said, if the fault is visible any decent company would want to see you satisfied whether it means cleaning, replacing the screen or the whole MB for that matter.   10 weeks is not a long time and Apple is a decent company.
    I can (just) make the fault out though I'm sure it is more visible in reality.   Be sure to approach Switch in person and phone first to confirm they are able to handle a warranty matter.   Re-sellers often have facilities to repair on the premises or they will send the machine back to an Apple base if the matter is serious.    But if asked when you phone, don't say any more than your screen has developed unusual marks that could be faulty pixels.    For your own satisfaction you must ensure it is examined.
    Post back with your findings ... and good luck,

  • Small sequential squares on ipad screen

    Is it normal to see small squares in ipad screen. I can see then when the screen is off

    Small sequential squares? Really? Small squares in a sequence when the iPad screen is off? If you mean when the iPad is turned off, the screen should be black.
    When a web page is loading in Safari - on the iPad original - you will see a series of tiny squares on the screen until the page loads to a certain point but small sequential squares....

  • Dust speck under new iPad screen

    I just called apple about a dust speck I have under my new iPad screen.. I have only had it for a week, and it's never left my side.  I called support, and without apple care, I have to pay for shipping out of my own pocket.  Does that seem right to anyone?  I'd love to drop it at an apple store, but I live a ferry ride and 100+ km away..

    Did you buy it from Apple online? did they pay for the shipping to you? I'm just asking because I don't know what the policy is where you live.
    However, based on my experiences here in the USA - if product that is still in warranty has to be returned to the manufacturer, shipping is paid by the consumer - or at least that has been my experience in the past.
    The device is what is under warranty - transportation to get the product back to the manufacturer is the customer's responsibility. Once again - that has been my experience. There are some warranties that may exist that cover shipping - but that would be above and beyond in my opinion.

  • Mark under the iPad screen

    Hey everyone.
    Got my iPad last week, been waiting a while as I live in New Zealand. I'm mostly happy with the product, however the day I got it I noticed a mark under the screen. I have tried to ignore it but I can't. Its only a small mark, whatever it is. When the screen is off it visible from certain angles.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    -Marcus

    Take the iPad to an Apple store or authorized dealer if you can and see what they say... They may not replace it because it may not that big of a defect that would warrant replacement.

  • Dust under New iPad Screen...Again...

    I just had an iPad (2012) replaced because there was dust under the screen. My replacement has a very small speck of dust under the screen that is smaller than the original and it really bothers me also. Will the Apple Store be mad that I want to get this one replaced as well and not replace it because they already replaced one bad iPad for me already?
    Thank you so much! (If you reply)

    I went through 3 iPhone 4's last year when I had a water damage replacement for the first one, and the guys in the genius bar where just as helpful every time I went back with a new issue. The amount of replacements should not matter at all, sounds like you've been very unlucky, nothing else. I do as above though, check it out Instore.
    One suggestion I would make on getting your replacement is ensure they either give you a replacement box, or the sticker to put on your original box or you will be given grief for having an iPad not matching the box if you ever come to sell it.

    Try holding the power and home buttons for ten to fifteen seconds until the apple appears. If still bad, try a restore from within the computer&itunes.

  • New iPad..dust under the glass screen ?????

    After buying the new iPad 32GB 4G from your branch here in Saudi Arabia, I was shocked to discover some dust under the glass screen. When I returned to the showroom, they refused to replace it and claimed that it is normal for all iPad products to leak in dust and is not a damage in the unit. I believe it is not acceptable at all for a SAR 3000+ devise to allow dust to come into its internal chipsets (with all the damage this might cause). I am sending this as a complaint against the local reseller with request of immediate replacement.
    Please advise

    OK. Apple is not reading any of these posts for hardware issues. Nobody here works for Apple. We are other users just like you.
    I am advising you to contact Apple - however you can - whereever you live - there is nothing anyone here can do to help you.

  • HT1689 the ipad screen is so large with the icons - and it won't go down to small size

    The ipad screen went so large that each icon filled the frame.  Can't figure out how to get it down to normal size.

    Turn off zoom.

  • White dots or pixels on new iPad screen.

    I recently purchased a new 16gb wifi New iPad and while applying a new screen guard I noticed 2 very small white dots on the screen under the glass. These dots are not noticeable while the screen is on unless you really look for them. Has anyone else found the same thing with their new iPad and is it worth returning my iPad for a replacement.?

    I have noticed the same thing on my new iPad!
    At first I thought that I had damaged it but couldn't understand why there seemed to be in the same spot one on top of the other.
    It's like there is a small bit of dust that has managed to get between the screens and then when I have been using the iPad it has somehow split in two and stuck to both the inside of the outter screen and the inner screen, if that makes sense....
