thanks for your reply, i have 2 iphones with a dead or stuck pixel, is it a common problem ?.a friend of mine had his exchanged for 1 deea/stuck pixel
I don't know about steve---but I've owned 8 iPhones (5 for me and 3 for my wife) starting with the 3G and ending with my current iPhone 5 and none of them had a display problem of any kind. 
Several of my family members also have iPhones--about 10 more, I'd guess, and none of them have a stuck pixel, either.
If I had received a display with a stuck pixel I would have definitely returned it immediately.

    What is Apples policy on dead pixels, before I lug the beast to an Apple Store

    Hi david,
    We are not Apple, only end-users like you so can't speak for Apple repair or warranty polices that aren't published on one of their support pages. Your best action is to call the store to which you'd have to lug the beast and ask to speak to a repair technician.

  • Screen has a Dead or Stuck Pixel ! (Pavilion DV6 3158ca)

    I have recently noticed a dead or stuck pixel on the top left area of my laptop screen, it shows a white dot, when a white or bright background is being viewed. If the background is black the dot isnt visible. Im sure its a dead or stuck pixel, I have tried  a few pixel fixing softwares, no help!
    I still have 4 months left on my HP warranty, but I have read they wont change it unless there are 4 or 5 dead pixels! Anyone had any experience with this, or any ideas? It totally sucks to have a good working computer and a white dot which keeps grabbing my eyes attention.
    HELP!!!!!!!

    What is the size ???
    A pixel is the size of  a pin point.
    If you see a dot that is larger than that it could be press marks.
    Press marks come from the keyboard, palm rest, mouse buttons and sometimes from the LCD lid.
    Does the dot line up with any of these???
    Let us know.

  • Dead or Stuck pixels on brand new iTouch?

    I just bought my first Apple iPod Touch two days ago and i just now noticed a dead or stuck pixel on my screen. Its right smack dab in the center of the screen and can get pretty annoying when im watching a video or when im looking at photos. In addition to that you could say that im OCDish about my stuff in the way that one dead pixel is going to annoy the crap out of me. I wanted to know if i took the itouch back to the apple store would they give me a new one or fix it for me? This dead pixel is going to kill me. I mean stuck pixel. Im pretty sure its not a scratch cuz when i ran a stuck pixel finding online app the pixel would change colors when on a certain color. Anyways any help would be great thanks anyway.

    Thanks. I will probably just head over there when my dad gets home so he can take me.

  • Stuck Pixels after Installing iPhone 2.0.1 Update

    Has anyone else noticed any new stuck pixels after installing the iPhone 2.0.1 update?
    As you can see in the image linked to below, my 8GB iPhone 3G began displaying a stuck pixel in the upper-left immediately after installing the 2.0.1 update. At first, I figured that this was an average stuck pixel that coincidentally appeared immediately after applying the 2.0.1 update. However, after further examination, I don’t think that this is a normal stuck pixel.

    A few hours later, my mother updated her 8GB 1st gen iPhone, and as you can see in the image linked to below, she now has a vertical line of stuck pixels in the same region as mine. Since her stuck pixels also appeared immediately after installing the 2.0.1 update, I’m beginning to think that my stuck pixel may not be an isolated issue.
    http://skitch.com/macmanx/1i88/stuck-pixels
    I have tried to restore both iPhones, adjust the brightness, apply light pressure to the stuck pixels, and run the Knox Pixel Fix for iPhone. Neither method worked. To further complicate the issue, the stuck pixels appear to flicker when viewed through the LCD screen of my digital camera.
    Stuck pixels are (as the name implies) stuck, they do not flicker. This, added to the fact that the issue occurred immediately after applying the 2.0.1 update, leads me to believe that this may actually be a software issue, possibly involving a conflict between the display drivers in the update and the display hardware shipped with certain iPhones.
    If you have also noticed new stuck pixels after installing the 2.0.1 update, I'd love to hear that I'm not the only one seeing this. And, if you have somehow managed to resolve the issue, I'd love to know how you did it.

    As already pointed out, "stuck pixels" are hardware related. They will be evident all the time, regardless of the particular screen being viewed. If they show only on particular screens, it isn't a dead pixel, but a software/ driver issue. I see a horizontal line in my Unlock Screen that I didn't notice before 2.0.1, but I'm not sure I really looked for it before. However, I don't see it in other screens with a black background such as the Home Screen, indicating it has something to do with the Unlock Screen image, and not the LCD pixels.

  • HT201299 what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"

    what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"

    That means that if you use online maps, it will consume data. If you're on WiFi, no worries. If you are on cellular data, then it will eat into your cellular data plan.

  • 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.

  • Dead or stuck pixel after 24 hours!

  • Dead or stuck pixels?

    Hi
    I got my MBP a week ago and I didn't notice anything worng with it, except for the known things like "whine" and "heat", but I'm OK with that.
    Today I noticed a display issue, something like a dead pixel or whatever It might be called. I could have been there before, but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed it as I can see it pretty clearly now when browsing the net.
    I ran a pixel checker and saw another one, the same appearance! But a bit further away so I don't notice it when surfing.
    I have an external TFT monitor which also has one of these, the same kind. I Googled a bit now but I'm not sure if it's a stuck or a dead pixel. Stuck pixels seem to be fixable with some flashing movies, if you're lucky, but shouldn't be used too much as they might cause new stuck pixels (?).
    Anyway, I read DEAD pixels are black. My pixels are not black, but they aren't of the same color all the time. Depending on the angle I view them from, they "blink"/change color from red,green,blue, they aren't the same all the time.
    Do I have stuck or dead pixels?
    Thanks!
    edit: But it looks like a black little spot when I look at it straight in front with a, say, red, green or blue background behind it. I mean that there isn't any idea to run the pixel fixer if I know that they are dead.

    You, know, I think I just fixed it :P
    I read a lot on different sites just what you wrote here, but I wanted to make sure I had stuck and not dead pixels!
    Anyway, I ran the little movie file which flashed colors and then I just rubbed the spot with my finger... they both disappeared! Took less than 10 seconds! Using both the methods at the same time did the trick for me (in the short time I tried it anyway!)
    Would be pretty cool if my "dead" pixel on my external monitor disappeared also... Hehe, I've lived with that one over a year
    Thanks for the fast reply!

  • Stuck pixels in the thousands

    Sorry to harp on stuck pixels I know there are alot of posts on this subject. However in most cases people are talking about 1 or 2 pixels, in my unfortunate situation I have hundreds if not thousands. A 5cm x 2 cm portion of my 14 inch screen is covered in green "stuck pixels". One line is permantly stuck on green however the remaining stuck pixels appear to change colours (pink or green) depending on what is on the screen.
    Strangely I used Pixel Check (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11661) and only the top green line showed up as being "stuck on green" the rest of the stuck pixels didn't show up. However after the test they reappear.
    I have tried using "pixel fix" software flashing for hours on end trying to "unstick" the pixels and also I have given them a good rub but all has failed.
    I bought the ibook over 18 months ago so it's no longer under warranty.
    I am now contemplating getting the screen replaced, however I just wanted to know if anyone out there had any ideas on my situation. Is it really a bad case of the stuck pixel anomaly or something else?
    thanks

    Hello
    I had 6 dead pixels on my macbook pro screen. I was quite annoyed about it.
    After a huge research I did find solution. At least you can try it is for free
    It is a small Jawa applet which flickers and can unstuck pixels.
    I had 6 dead pixels. After using this flickering applet for 10 minutes 4 of the pixels disappeared They were in the center of the screen.
    The last two are placed on the top of the screen. On the top dock where the blue apple is. Fortunately there is no way I know about how to hide this dock. Therefor stuck pixels remain. (if you know how to get this flickering applet over entire screen please let me know, the videos on the website did not work for me)
    Anyway check this website and good luck, Hope it helps.

  • What are you supposed to do for users manual for the iPhone 5?

    What or how do you get the user's manual for the iPhone 5?

    It is accessible on your iPhone by going in to Safari and clicking on the open book icon at the bottom of the screen. You will see the option for the iPhone User Guide. You can also access it on your computer via the www.apple.com/support website and either download it to your computer for offline use or open it and read it that way.

  • What's apples policy for helping students?

    I recently had a problem with my macbook pro that made the computer un-usable and brought it into Apple to have it fixed (I have full Apple care support)
    When I brought it, I let the worker at the genius bar know what I have done to the laptop and the problems I eliminated. I was able to eliminate a failing hard drive because I replaced the hard drive and was able to eliminate an OS issue as I did a clean install.
    I let the worker know I need this laptop ASAP as finals are in a few days, and as a computer science major, my computer is everything. He told me chances are I would get it back on Sunday.
    Waiting for a call on Sunday I assumed they were running behind, at 6PM I received a call and they asked me a few questions. They wanted to know if they could delete the OS because they think the HDD is failing. I couldn't believe they still thought it was the HDD when I told the worker it COULDN'T be the HDD as I replaced it and the same problem occured with 2 seperate HDD's. The call was "lost" after about 5 minutes of me telling the guy I told the person I handed the comptuer to all of those things.
    I NEED my computer back for finals. I have assignments I need to do and can't do them all in the computer labs. I need someone to assist me on getting my laptop back as soon as possible.
    I left the Apple store extremely satisfied, but after that call, I can't believe nothing was transfered to the guy working on my computer.

    You're not talking to Apple here, just other users. No one here can help you get the system back.
    If you feel there is a problem your first step should be to contact the store and speak to the manager. But truthfully once the system is in for repairs it is difficult if not impossible to push things along.
    Given that you paid for Apple Care on the system it would have been better for you to take it in at the first sign of a problem rather then doing all that work especially swapping out the disk.
    As someone who did time repairing systems I have to say while we would listen to the customer and take what they said  into consideration we would still start at step 0 as far as the diagnostic and repair procedure went. A customer doing any work on the system before us usually slowed things down.

  • Dead or stuck pixel. well I got one

    It ***** it is right in the middle it looks grey more than black or anything . I read some stuff but cant really figure out if there is anything to do about it. Does anyone know of anything to fix this? thanks

    Some people have success gently rubbing the area around the pixel, others find running unstick_pixels.MP4 (1.5MB) for a few hours over the area can 'unstick' them ...
    If it's black (dead) then you're unlikely to get it back, if it's a primary color (stuck) then it might kick back in.
    If it's grey ... it could be discoloring in the LCD screen layer and not the pixel layer ?

  • 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.
