Windpad 110W Tablet LCD light leak and dead pixels

Hello,
I've just received the 110W tablet (I'm in the USA) and the LCD exhibits what I'll call light leak, where the backlight leaks or bleeds through so that when viewing a dark background you can see white light around the perimeter of the display.  The white light is in blotches and shows up around the display in various places.  My tablet most noticeably shows light leak on the left side of the display.  Has anyone else had this problem with their Windpad tablets?
I've seen this in several other tablets I've had (Eee Transformer, Xoom FE), and it may just be something we live with, but I'd like to get your feedback before I return it to find the replacement exhibits the same light leak problem.
Also, how about dead pixels?  Mine has a dead (always black) pixel up at the top of the display which doesn't really bother me at all.  Again, I'm just looking for your experience with these issues.
Thanks!

Interesting that you would return it for the dead pixel.
Absolutely, on a screen this size it would be very annoying. I have only ever had a dead pixel at work and made them change it.
I have no idea what MSI's dead pixel policy is  though so that may affect whether you can return it or not.

  • Light Leaks and reboots on CLNR.

    So my new phone per the great policy was replaced with a refurb. That seems fair. The refurb I noticed has light leaks and the screen appears like it its not tightly sealed all the way around.
    A replacement is on the way but not before the nice verizon rep that told me the only way the screen would be loosing adhesiveness, since I did not notice if it was like this from day one, 25 days ago, is humidity or water damage.. Yeah for three weeks I have been watching my mom die, now that is out of the way, i have time to focus on all things thunderbolt... I should be aware of the details of my refurb junk. I am now aware at their discretion they will decide to arbitrarily charge me for something I did not do.  Because adhesives or humans who rebuild these things never fail. Only the user, I guess
    Better believe the next one I guess I will need to fine tooth comb it on day one. I was going with the assumption of quality. I was wrong
     Rooms to Go does the same thing... We had 3 month old furniture with cushions starting to break down. Did rooms to go say we were sitting on them to hard, maybe they might suggest at 170 pounds I lose some weight as I am 6' 1" and a guy.  No rooms to go replaced 3000 dollars worth of furniture with NEW furniture.  Rooms to go replaced it with a different model, style, etc... since the first did not meet expectations.  They delivered that new set tuesday of this week. 
    All sarcasm aside, my mother did pass, rooms to go did replace my furniture, and I am waiting to see if I get charged for something I did not do to a defective phone because I did not notice the slight lifting of the screen the day the sub par replacement arrived... 
    Reading is fundamental and I will only be a verizon customer until this contract expires... There 14 day new replacement policy for sub par equipment is a disservice for the millions of dollars they receive from hard working folks like you and I.  
    Two companies. One sells 3000 dollar items replaces with no questions. One sells 500 dollar items and continues to make 1500 a year off of thorough recurring billing and gives you junk replacements... Some business model.

    I know how frustrating it must've been for you to experience issues with your device.  Please let us know if you experience any difficulties with your replacement. We are always here to assist.

  • All of a sudden tons of stuck and dead pixels on Retina display!

    My MacBook Pro Retina is just about a year old. When the computer was only a few months old I had the display replace due to stuck pixels.
    Now it's a year old (just 2 weeks out of warranty!) and all of a sudden there are a TON of stuck and dead pixels.
    I mean A LOT: about 30 - 40 stuck pixels (all of them seem to be blue or white, I can't really tell), and maybe about 20 - 30 dead pixels. They are harder for me to see. The stuck pixels make the screen almost unusable though.
    About a week ago I noticed one giant stuck pixel (probably a cluster of 4) but now, all of a sudden they are speckled all over the screen (but mostly in the same area where I found the first one.
    Is my display just dying on me?
    Is Apple going to make me pay for a new retina display (it's 15"). How much will that cost??
    The display shouldn't die like this so soon, especially since it is already a relatively new screen (replaced once already).

    I would go to Apple and ask nicely since it is only 2 weeks out of warranty and was already replaced once.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • IPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor and Dead Pixels

    Today I went down to my carrier HQ. (Singtel, Singapore).
    I went to spoke to the person at the iPhone servicing counter.
    He told me that my iPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor has been triggered and it's now out of warranty.
    And my purpose is there, to have my iPhone exchange as my home button is getting unresponsive at times.
    And he told me that this is under Apple policy. When I purchase the phone, the salesperson didn't even told me about the policy and I wasn't aware of that.
    So the main point is my iPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor and I didn't even drop it into any liquid, I don't know why but it's just unfair for me as an end user.
    Question here, will playing apps like Ocarina activate the iPhone LSS? Only my bottom LSS is triggered, the top one isn't.
    Also to recall, at the point when I'm buying my iPhone 3G last year, out of the box there is already a dead pixel and the person refuse to change a new set for me.
    I'm in need of an iPhone urgently, anybody can tell me what to do?

    Ocarina could trigger the water sensor since you could spit into the dock connector while blowing into the mic.

  • Refurbished Models and Dead Pixels

    [Disclaimer: I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.]
    I am currently trying to raise money through donations for a refurbished ibook through my site at http://www.ibook4abrother.blogspot.com/
    since I'm giving my PC away to my little brother who's moving away with my family (I'm staying in college).
    However, I also heard that alot of refurbished models arrive DOA, and maybe even more specifically, with a bunch of dead pixels.
    Is this true, and am I allowed to return it to Apple for a replacement without penalty?
    Thanks!
    P.S. Help me raise money for an ibook by donating a dollar!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The refurbished iBooks are treated as if they were new. You may want to look at Apple Certified Refurbished Products FAQ. The refurbished iBook through Apple will be covered under Apple's One (1) Year Limited Warranty unless you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan.

  • Dust under screen and Dead Pixels on new MBP...

    I got a new Macbook and, aside from the fact that it was missing the P key, there was a new manufacturing defect I hadn't seen before, (must be from the new process), wherein dust was trapped behind the glass screen.
    The Apple Store was great about letting me exchanging it, no problem. Then I realized that I needed firewire so I returned the new and unopened Macbook replacement to upgrade to a MacBook Pro, but now I'm disheartened, because the new MacBook Pro, though a thing of beauty, has a bright dead pixel in the top middle screen, as well as a dimmer dead pixel 2 inches to the left of that one.
    I just bought the computer a few hours ago.
    Do you think I have a shot at them replacing it tomorrow? I hate to think of staring at this, (bright) dead pixel for three years, (not to mention the other dimmer dead pixel).
    Thanks!

    Yep, I too did a custom order wtih everything I could get on it. And sad to say, like many iphones I have gotten, it too had dust under the display. It also was about 10 different yellow flecks under the glass. Customer service gave me no fuss really and I have sent it off and am awaiting a new one now. However, it is frustrating that this makes it out of the factory in the first place. Quality control should have seen this, especially when I am looking at buying 2 more shortly. It is my first actual mac purchase aside from the numerous other accories I have bought for PC use. However, with vista being the garbage that it is, I am having mac withdrawls now. ***** when you use something that works and then revert back.
    I also noticed the battery lid was a little loose on the laptop. Hopefully this is a isolated thing as well. It does take about another week and a half from what I am told to get the replacement. Kinda ***** to have to wait, but I am sure it will be worth it.

  • Light leaks

    I know in Premiere Pro, you can download light leaks and add them as an editing effect with an overlay, etc... Is this possible to do with Elements 11??
    Jordan

    jordanisobel
    I did so Googling to see what I could find in the way of "Light Leaks" effects,
    I came across one web site offering free ones that were described as "1080p HD clips".
    A "1080p HD clip" should import into Premiere Elements, provided the video and audio compressions of the file plus
    its file extension are supported by Premiere Elements. If this find is characteristic of what is out there with regard to
    these "Light Leaks" effects, then what we need to go after are the properties of these "1080p HD clips". They do not
    appear to be plug-ins, rather files imported (hopefully) into the project with the project's Add Media/Files and Folders.

  • Light leak?

    In the night, I noticed a bit of light leaking out the side of my ipod? How can I stop this? Is there a way to get my iPod replaced with another one? I have the 1 year warranty, and the 180 days aren't up. I heard this also causes dirt under the screen, which I have also.

    Not sure about the dust getting part of the questions. but I can add my experience with the light leak and trying to return it to Apple if it helps...
    After I noticed a light leak on my iPod, I called Apple right away. They asked me to send my new iPod to Apple for "repair". I did and had it returned with a note stating that nothing was wrong with it. Then I called Apple a second time and took the iPod to the Apple store (as directed by Apple). The Apple employee told me that I could switch it with the ONE other iPod available in the store (yes, they claimed to only have one spare in the whole NYC store). This was purely out of courtesy (they assured me) because they said that the iPod was "within spec". The replacement had a light leak that was worse than mine. So I went home with my original iPod.

  • Macbook air with dead pixel

    I bought my Macbook Air about 40 days and "dead pixel" rised in the midle of screen.
    The store wants to repair de display and not replace the machine.
    Is that correct?

    After the 14 day return period, whether the unit is repaired or replaced is up to the Apple's discretion. I mean it wouldn't make sense to replace the whole unit over a single pixel, unless that option had some other overriding reason to do so. Sometimes exceptions are made, but I don't know that you can expect it.
    Make sure you have a complete backup of the machine before taking it in. There is no guarantee that they won't wipe the unit, or if they end up replacing it after all, you will have lost everything.

  • Dead pixel on brand new Qosmio G30

    Hello,
    I just bought this machine and it is amazing. The best laptop, for sure.
    However, I was very disappointed to see a faulty subpixel on the screen. When the power is on, and on a black background, there is a green pixel that stays there.
    There is a leaflet that comes with the qosmio that explains about warranty and dead pixels but I cannot understand it..
    The company I bought it from is currently checking on what can be done about it..
    Is this pixel enough so that it can be taken to warranty? What else can be done about it??
    From now on I will always test before buying.. but anyway, if someone has an advice for me it would be great!
    Regards

    I had the same problem and am now on the second machine.
    I felt that the whole situation regarding what they suggest is acceptable when I deem it faulty was strange to say the least - however, Toshiba are no different from any other manufacturers on their approach.
    I recommend you assess how much of a problem the pixel is for you before taking things further - to decide on this look to where the pixel is in the field of vision and decide if it is something you can live with. As I discovered, even exchanging the machine and having new screens yielded the same problem in a different place until the fourth correction.
    If you can't live with it, take it back to the seller at first and see if you can get an exchange - this is what PC World did for me. The replacement machine had a similar problem and I then wrote to the Toshiba Head Office and complained. To their credit their very quickly arranged a repair and got the machine back to me. This then had to go back again but is now OK.
    Toshiba did not have to do this and I can't fault their approach to me personally although as a whole the industry policy on this type of fault seems poor in my assessment!
    Hope this helps.

  • My iMac 27inch 5k screen has a huge line of dead pixels. I bought it today itself!!!

    I Just bought my iMac 27inch 5k and after Unboxing it, came to realize that the screen has flickering and dead pixels all over the left side.
    is this a hardware or sodrware issue and can I repalce it with a new one since my warrantee is a day old?!

    If you bought it directly from Apple,  you have a 14 day return or exchange window. Take advantage of it.
