The iPhone Dead Pixels

Hi
+I own an iPhone 2G 16GB running on OS 3.1.2.+
+There are some dead pixel on my screen.+
+Is there any way to fix them softwarely or just I have to replace the screen?+
+Also is there any idea about the Knox iPhone Stuck Pixel Fix method?+
+Merry Christmas and the Lord bless+
Mehran

The only way to tell if it is software related would be to restore your iphone back to its original settings and choosing "setup as a new iphone" at then end of the process. Other than that its going to be a issue with the display itself and would need to be replaced.

Apple wont replace my iPhone (dead pixel)

i just got off the phone with iPhone support and they said they wouldn't replace my phone... I have a dead pixel and the guy said it had to be more then one pixel to "be a problem"
So my one dead pixel that i notice every time i look at my phone isn't a problem? whats up with that?
I love apple to death but come on... i spent $600 on this phone and your not gonna help me out?

It's a tough thing to hear but any company that manufactures an LCD anything will usually tell you that dead pixels are just a part of the hardware and you typically need several for it to be considered defective. This is what you'll get from any MP3 or monitor manufacturer.

IPhone dead pixels?

I recently got my iPhone's screen changed after I noticed a huge amount of dead grey pixels growing near the bottom. After being replaced, it was good as new. A couple of months later and I noticed a few grey pixels at the top and they grew longer and wider by the day. At this point, I can only see half of the time and my carrier. I sent in my iPhone once more and they told me they switched my LCD, and I have payed for it as well as I no longer have a warranty but I can still see the dead pixels near the top. The first time was succesful, why not now? I'm starting to doubt the fact that they changed my LCD. Can anyone please tell me if the pixels would remain even after changing an LCD? It seems highly unlikely. Please help me as I still have the reciept and would need to take action immediately.

IPhone Dead Pixel

Hey everyone. recently got my iphone about three weeks ago and have already noticed a dead pixel. It is a white pixel on a black background, particularly noticeable when charging and booting up. I love my iphone, it works great its just that this dead pixel is kinda frustrating considering the amount of money I spent for this phone.
I was wondering if apple would replace my iphone?
And also, how long does the warranty last for dead pixels? Should I return it before the 30 day mark, or will they still replace it up to a year?
Thanks for your help.

so as long as its under a year, they will replace my phone with a dead pixel?
Maybe.
But you will need to take it to an Apple store or go here -> https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

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

Is iPhone's battery shot? Or is the iPhone dead? Can I back it up if I replace the battery?

This morning, I woke up to my iPhone 4s being at 4% despite me charging it the entire night before. I assumed, with some testing, that the battery was damaged and that, because I was planning on getting the iPhone 5s, that today would be a good day to do so. I had issues in the past with iCloud and had just yesterday fixed it so that everything but my photos were on the cloud. I was planning to add my photos to the Cloud at some point today or tomorrow, because I hadn't backed my iPhone 4s on my computer in a long, long time. Later today, after having purchased and set up my new iPhone 5s, I plugged in my iPhone 4s one last time to see what would happen and if the battery would change, but when I came back to see, my iPhone 4s would not turn on at all. I tried holding down the home button and the power button at the same time and every other trick that doesn't result in a total loss of data. My question is: is my phone dead forever (can I never get my photos that were on it?), or can I simply replace the battery and it'll turn on so that I can back it up and put the photos onto my Cloud with my final use of it before I recycle it or donate it. Please let me know, I'm worried that I lost all of my pictures! Thank you for your help.

Apple recommends backing up the data when you're getting the battery replaced by them. So I assume that you will likely lose the data during this process.
Will the data on my iPhone be preserved?
No, during the service process all data on your iPhone will be erased. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service. During service, Apple may exchange your iPhone with an iPhone that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
Following service, your iPhone may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need torestore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

So i have a dead pixel on my rMBP does anyone know if apple will replace it or repair it if i take it to the store?

Its a Late 2013 MBP and its the higher end 16gb ram model
Ive only had it a few months so its under the one year warranty, and it had like 1 or 2 really annoying dead pixels.
Will apple replace it or repair it if i take it in?

You'd better make a reservation of Genius Bar and show them the problem, dead pixels and ask for repair if it's possible.

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

White Specs and 1 Dead Pixel

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I have a week 36 iPod, without any of the audio or negative black issues but instead with tiny white specs that appear and disappear when I move the iPod in different angles. These white specs can only be seen on a black background and there are so many of them that I couldnt even count them. They also appear to be randomly appearing so they are very difficult to count.
The one dead pixel is to the right of the screen and is green. I am not too fussed about this but I wondered if any of you have the same issue?
I have looked at my iPod video and I do not seem to have the same white spec issues.
Here are some screens of my iPod touch video quality:

I have the same issue as you do. I think the technical word for this problem is a stuck pixel. In my case they are green and white and lots of them. Turn your brightness to full and then test you screen with a black background, and while you are at it show it also to a genius. I am sure they would replace it, please let us know how things went.

Dead Pixel and Frayed Charger

Hey guys.Let me start off buy saying that I **do** have AppleCare as of now. I've had my MacBook Pro Retina 13" Laptop for about 1-2 years and I haven't had much to complain about.
However, my laptop's charger has started to fray and charging my laptop has become quite difficult. Here is a picture.
My second problem is quite annoying as well. I have a single dead pixel on the screen of my MacBook. The white dot on the middle of the screen is the one dead pixel on the screen.
My question to you guys is if both of these things will be covered by AppleCare? I'm fairly confident that Apple will replace my charger but I want to know if they would fix my screen as well? Thanks!

What does a dead pixel even Look like ?

I posted a thread 24 hours ago that ended up w/ a missing section, then 2 replies to finish.... a real mess that went deservedly unanswered.
I'm sure I can do better :
Suddenly I've got 2 "bits of dust" towards the lower right corner of my 24" display. They're different sizes ( the smaller close to a pin-head ) and the slightly larger one is a much darker shade of grey. They're also roughly-edged...misshapen.
They look like pieces of grit , is it even possible for a foreign particle to "ride in on a CD" and end up visible within the display ?
I'm sure that's doubtful, but I don't know much beyond what they "look like"
I've tried the Pixel-Fixer widget, but have seen no effect.
I'd just like to hear what else others may have had, the better to determine what these interlopers actually are !
thanks, Dave

The LCD is a sealed unit before it's placed in the computer so no it's not possible for foreign particles to "ride in on a CD". It may be possible for dust to get under the "glass" that covers the LCD, but again, not from a CD.
I'm sure that's doubtful, but I don't know much beyond what they "look like"
Apple has a decent article on pixel anomalies. In order to keep LCD costs down, a certain number of pixel anomalies are considered "acceptable" by most manufacturers. Some resellers offer a dead pixel warranty for an extra cost. They lose money with individual LCDs that are returned with pixel anomalies that are considered "acceptable" (the manufacturer would bill them for repair or replacement) and usually sell them at a reduced cost. In the long run, though, most LCDs don't have pixel anomalies so the more dead pixel warranties they sell, the more profit they make.
I've tried the Pixel-Fixer widget, but have seen no effect.
Software like the Pixel-Fixer widget are often just temporary solutions. Stuck pixels usually indicate a hardware issue with the LCD matrix and the only guaranteed way to make sure they're gone is to replace the display.
This picture mistakenly refers to a "bright" pixel as "dead". When the pixel is stuck in an open position (allowing light to pass through) it's a "bright" (sub-)pixel. When it's stuck in a closed position (blocking light from passing through) it's called a "dark" or "dead" pixel.
This picture shows a dead (or "dark") pixel.
Hopefully that clears some of your questions.

Welcome to Discussions, mrandyflores
The retailer who sold you your Mac can tell you or help you obtain an official answer. Even if some of us users who post here offer answers, you will need to get it verified by the retailer or Apple anyway before you can do anything about your issue.

Does Apple's warranty cover dead pixels on the iPhone 4S?

I received my iPhone 4S in the mail today and a few hours after I had been using it I noticed a tiny dot on the screen. At first I ignored it, thinking it would go away, but it hasn't. I searched what the problem was and found out it is a dead pixel. Like I said it's very small but it really bothers me every time I watch a video or take a picture. If I take it to my local apple store, will the warranty cover this?

The warranty should cover it if it is a defect in manufacture. In any case, you are covered by the 30 day trial return period.
