Smartwatch 2 screen dead pixels

Hi... I have a smartwatch 2 that recently started to show some dark spots on the screen, yesterday some dead pixels on the screen appeared. my questions are... is this a hardware problem since i was using it normally without problems? is there a way to repair the smartwatch? and if that is the case, is there a service center in Mexico that can repair it? thanks a lot!

I doubt its a software issue, but you can repair it with SUS and if that doesn't work then do take it to a Sony repair center Update Service (SUS) PC Companion (PCC) Bridge (for Mac) Alternatives on How to backup Xperias http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36355

24" iMac Thin darker line on the screen - dead pixels ?

I have a 24" BTO iMac with 3,06 and GE Force 8800 GS, delivered last year in June.
Was very happy until today, when i remarked, at +/- 7 cms from the right edge, a thin line, extending from top to bottom, and seeming to expand a bit in a blurry way in the middle.
It shows much more in when on a dark background.
Could that be dead pixels ?
I guess I have to ship the machine back to an ARC ?
Or is there some test I could try first ?

A screenshot would not including any effect from a physical screen defect. For the computer, the pixels are there and working properly.
If it appears to be blurry, it may be something casting a shadow between the LCD and the backlighting. Dead pixels are distinct, so there should not be a blur between where the pixels are working and where they are not working.
In any case, since the Mac is still covered by the one-year warranty, you should probably have it looked at by an Apple authorized repair place

LCD screen/dead pixel checker app on app store?

Is there a program on the app store to check for dead pixels? There use to be one but I can't seem to find it anymore and I'm trying to check out my new iPhone 4's screen with no luck. Can anyone help? Thanks.

White IPAD2 64 3G - White dot underneath Screen, Dead pixel

Hi,
I am residing in Stockholm,Sweden. i bought my ipad2 the day it was released here on march 25th.
3 days back, i noticed a dead pixel, which was visible while using safari. i have downloaded the pixfix app to confirm the dead pixel. the pixifix conducts few tests by changing the colors and the dead pixel was visible as black.
how ever, i switched off the ipad and to my astonishment, i can see a small white dust/mark underneath the glass with no visible scratches or anything. since i take care of my IPAD very well.
i had the same problem with my first generation ipad after few months which apple replaced it.
since then, i called apple in stockholm, and they directed me to go to Digitall Inn their premium reseller/support. this is the place I bought my ipad2. i went in there and the support guy(daniel) try arguing that it is not a dead pixel instead scratch. and he had no answer when i showed him the white dust/mark. he said one of their technicians will analyze and get back. this was happening last saturday.
its been two days since they never updated/called me, i called up digital inn and i was told that, they will take a photograph of the issues and send to apple. it will take 3 more days to get an udpate from apple. and he also offered me to take the ipad2 back or keep it in store. i told them i need a solution to this and till then they can keep it.
i am seriously surprised by the kind of support i am getting from digital inn. i have invested a lot in this device, and when it is defective, i dont understand the kind of support i am getting from this premium resller
Dear Apple support,
please help me to resolve this issue of ipad2.

Yesterday afternoon at 1.01 pm, got a call from the technician at digital inn, and he told me that apple had indeed sent a new ipad for me and i could go there to collect it.
well, i was thrilled by the sudden turnarround of events and i rushed from my place of work to get it.
so finally a brand new one, i beilive no refurbished stuff. bought a belkin verve folio from webhallen which is next to digitall inn in stockholm.
so glad that, go every thing fast rather than after 2-3 weeks.
hi thenextbutton.
in stockholm, sweden, they dont have any apple stores but we have to go through thier premium resellers who has stores similar to apple store. hence for any issues, we are left with no choice but work with these folks. digitall inn is one of thier premium reseller.

My new iPad has a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Can I get it replaced?

I've heard that there is a minimum number of dead pixels before apple will replace it. Very frustrating because otherwise the screen is perfect, and it's one of those things you can't stop looking at. What can I do? I don't live near an apple store so I fear that shipping it away is the only option.
Any help is appreciated!

Given that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever.

3 Dead Pixels after Blue Screen crash, should I make another Genius Bar appointment?

Ok, so yesterday I made a GB appointment, after a friend told me to, when I showed him that I had a dead pixel on my phone's screen. So when I got to apple, I showed them the dead pixel and they told me they were going to replace the screen on the phone. It turned out that the machine they use to do so, was down, so they ended up giving me a replacement phone. So I checked it out at the store and it looked fine. So now today, while running some errands, my new replacement iPhone had crashed and turned blue, then rebooted on me & a few moments after when I got back on the phone and was imessaging, I noticed 3 dead pixels instantly (one on right under the names of the contact on the message, on the J key on the board and to the middle-right where your send messages are displayed)
Now I'm thinking that, because my originally iPhone had crashed and turned blue also and I noticed the one dead pixel on it that same day, that the blue screen crashing could possibly be causing this??
Should I go back to the apple store and tell them what happened?

(Update) the pixels actually all seem to be red, whenever I go on a yellow screen and I just noticed a fourth one. I think I should take my phone in

Will warranty cover 1 dead pixel and an incredibly annoying screen flicker?

Problems:
1) I have 1 dead pixel on my iPod Touch and it's very annoying as it sticks out because the entire screen is black, and there is just this dot of light
2) I sometimes use my iPod Touch in the dark, so this means that I keep the contrast at the lowest level, as it being too bright hurts my eyes. The problem with this is that the screen flickers between contrasts slightly and it ends up making me feel dizzy.
I've tried turning the auto brightness option to off to prevent the above, but it doesn't make any difference. I've also tried turning the contrast slightly up too, but still it flickers slightly.
Any advice?
Thanks

The warranty will cover a dead pixel and the flickering screen. But before we get drastic, let's do some troubleshooting. Try a hard reset by holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time until the Apple logo appears on screen. Skip the slide to power off screen.

I have the same case with you an iPad Air in dead pixel or speckle silver dust on screen. It is been 3 months I bought in Avant Abenson in Greenbelt Makati Philippines. Today I decided to change my screen protector film but the speckle dust on the screen

Speckles dust on the screen and it cannot be removed today when I decided to change the screen protector film and noticed is not my fault it is a factory defect on screen it is either dead pixel or speckle dust on screen they are so many said and experience I have read. So I need the replacement a new one for that dismayed screen on my iPad Air. I bought this 3 months ago in Avant Abenson at Greenbelt Makati Philippines. I need the replacement for tomorrow I will go to the store I bought. I love apple products but they need to replace and make go round to improve some defects and cannot be more escalate with this issue of the many of patronizing your products. It is sometimes irritating to the eyes and seen dirt on the screen. Thank you apple customer service to bringing up my complaints and a replacement for tomorrow's to inform the store I bought and advise them here in the Philippines to facilitate in regards to this matter.

I wanted to buy an ipad air to replace my ipad 2 but the one I wanted was (luckily) sold out.
Yesterday I tested the air from a collegue and I noticed the screen was SUBSTANTIALLY less sensitive than the screen of my ipad 2 when using my stylus.
I use Stylus R US especially for I annotate and with the air this did not work well at all... Half of the time there was no contact registered so underying certain parts of the text was a disaster...
Just working with the finger all whent OK... Just fear that another app I use a lot (notes +) will have same problem.
On the Ipad 4 also retina all goes *** smooth as on my ipad 2...
Is this a fault of a specific ipad air series? Or is this normal?? If it is I think this is truelly a huge flaw and I cannot see how not manny people using the ipad for notetaking etc did not notice this...

I have one dead pixel in the middle of the screen.

I have 3 issues with my iPad2 at the moment
1. Bad back-light bleeding around edges. It is kind of big bleed on the right edge and small ones on the left.
2. One dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
3. Lots Horizontal lines occured everytime when press sleep button on and off quickly.
What can I do, this is the replaced one that comes in brown box. On of the genius guy say that horizonta lines is normal when LCD screen boots up and as long as it does not effect while you are playing then it should be fine. But my friend dont have this issue so i think it is kind of faulty of the device.
Can I go to genius bar and ask for another replacement?

I went to apple store today and this time one of the staff said they will not replace for dead pixels or screen bleeding. And for the horizontal line issue.. The guy at genius bar said it's normal when LCD screen wakes up from sleep or when it boots up. It's kinda weird I think.

Shouldn't Apple recall and provide FREE replacement for MacBook Pro screens with ghosting and dead pixel issues?

Read the forum posts, Google the issue, watch the YouTube videos on the problems; they are everywhere. I purchased a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro and the screen is riddled with dead pixels, white ghosting throughout, and image retention issues, all from a company that promotes the quality of the product they sell. There's no way this issue facing so many consumers shouldn't result in Apple replacing these screens for FREE.
I purchased the high-end machine for photo and video editing. Photo editing is particularly difficult when I can't tell if I have dust, dirt or colour shifts in my images or if it's just the screen overlaying these issues. I've never had so many issues with any screen I've purchased, from my Panasonic Plasma TV to my cheap ACER laptop. Please Apple, quit ignoring this issue.

Nokia N8 - Dead Pixel On Screen

Hi all. Last week I noticed that I might have 1 dead pixel on my screen. its a little black dot that stays at about 10-o'clock position on the screen.
I tried to ignore it, but I just cant because everytime I swipe pictures left and right, the black dot stick out, and my eye is staring at the dot instead of my pictures.
I had to sent my N8 back for a new replacement. It's a shame because I am really happy with the phone aside from that stupid dead pixel.
I just hope that my new replacement won't have any new problems or another dead pixels! I am worried that Nokia quality is dwindling...
So guys please check your screen throughly for dead pixel. Let me know of your findings. I really hope that I am the only one affected..

For sure it is sad that you had a black pixel.
But you will not be allone, And that is normal.
Think about numbers: you have thousands of pixels (around 200K for each color), Nokia is selling (hopefully) millions of N8. It is just question of probability that some persons will get dead pixels. Nobody, and this include the best quality checks possible, will be able to ensure 100% error free devices. And if it would be possible, you might not be able to pay it.
There will be always some devices with problems, For them it is important to have a good and quick support and replacement policy. And Nokia, as I know the company, is handling this quite good.
N8-00 with orange case, loving it

Dead Pixel paranoid! How do I protect MacBook Pro 15 retina screen?

Hello all,
First Mac ever! I just paid over $3,100 for the MBPrd and additional apple care. After doing some research I have heard that dead pixels are a major problem! Also that apple just blames it on "DUST" when you close the lid!
As a new Mac customer I find it hard to believe that I just paid that much for a performance marvel that is so easily effected by.. Dust, the most common household / office particle.
So, what is the best way to protect the screen? B/C I can tell you right now if down the road I have to argue with some "Genius" about dust ruining the display on my super expensive laptop, I'd rather just return the thing tomorrow. It blows my mind that the screen doesn't have better warranty coverage even under the additional apple care!
Any advise is appreciated.

You should have an HDMI port on your Retina display model?
All you need is a standard HDMI to HDMI cable to connect to your television (assuming that it has an HDMI port). I actually have run an HDMI cable through my stereo receiver and just selected it via the receiver since I've a shortage of HDMI ports on my television.
You could also connect via Thunderbolt to HDMI with the proper cable, if you wished.

Dead pixel on macbook pro screen

i have a dead pixel on my screen what should i do ? and are they going to do with my macbook ???
thank you

Is it brand new? You have 14 day return policy.
Otherwise
I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store, make a reservation.

I sent my mbp 15" to the service center for a dead pixel. they changed the screen but now, I get notified that I need to restart my mbp and now, I just hear 3 beeps and it doesn' turn on.

I sent it to the service center last month to be repaired. It was running fine and it was perfect except for the dead pixel. Today, I got it back. They changed the screen. When I got home, I opened it and it was running fine until my screen darkened with a message telling me that I need to restart. And I turned it on again, and after a few times of black screen and restarting, it won't turn on and it beeps 3x when I try to turn it on. It became worse after the dead pixel repair. My question is what is the problem with my mbp? And how long would it take to get repaired because I'm a collge student who really needs a laptop.

When it beeps 3 times, it means that it's the RAM. now we have two scenarios here :
1 - The RAM is Dead and needs to be replaced
2 - The other one is that during shipping and all the RAM might have been improperly seated, you need to take it to the service stores and they would reseat the RAM for you and that will be an easy fix. but if the RAM is dead then they would replace the RAM if your MBP is still under warranty.

Dead pixel in my screen? What will apple do?

It seems that I have a dead pixel in my screen. I have a keen eye for them as I have had to replace 2 LCD tv's because of this. Even though it is'nt a huge deal I would like it fixed. Any idea on how apple will handle this? Just replace the phone I'm assuming. Anyone have this problem also? What was the outcome?

So in other words what your saying is, there is a standard for how much your screen has to "not work" for them to care? And I read the pixel anomalies article by apple and it seems like a pretty BS way of getting out of replacing a phone. I talked to my buddy who is a TV salesman and he said it is rare to have this happen with TV's and when it does they replace them. Seems like apple should do the same. Hopefully I can get the issue resolved because this is
not the only problem. When I am in the recent/contacts section my screen doesnt work or jumps around (doesnt select where I put my finger, goes random).
