X220 came back from depot with one dead pixel on new replaced panel

I bought my X220 on May, 2011. It was working great up until last month when suddenly several dead pixels(around 5) appeared on the IPS panel. They were dark dots scattered on the mid bottom part of the display, and were invisible only on dark images. I tried various stuck pixel fixing programs for several hours with not good result.
I called the support number for Canada, explained the issue and immediately got a call number and a box was on the way.
Yesterday I received the X220 back after a week and half, which is quite fast for what I expected the service time to be in Canada. When I turn on the machine I immediately notice some backlight bleed on the bottom on the screen given that the old one didn't have any. I thought it would not bother me since I could only see it if displaying dark backgrounds, which is rare for me once in Windows. But I also notice one dead pixel on the mid bottom right of the screen, and it looks darker and bigger than the ones in the old screen. Anytime I'm looking at anything bright colored I see it.
As of now, while I'm at work the X220 is running UDpixel at home to see if it gets fixed. I was wondering if Lenovo would grant me another repair call seeing that the dead pixel bothers me more than the ones in the old panel, although it is only one.

@pacho,
You can try taking a picture of the screen showing the backlight bleed and try contacting support and see if they can get it replace again. Do let them know your previous case number as well.
Lenovo dead pixel policy here.

However I am not sure if it applies to IPS panels.

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

  • IMac came back from repair with a loose hinge..

    So my iMac had some fan problems, went away for repair under AppleCare, and came back fully working with a logic board replacement. Excellent, no problems. However, the hinge seems much looser than it was when I left, such that a bang or knock on my desk causes it to begin to droop downwards. It means I need to re-situate it somewhere between 5 and 10 times a day, and presumably it'll only get worse.
    Can I tighten the hinge myself? I'd REALLY rather not lose the thing for another two weeks while they get a screwdriver in there. Is this something I can fix?
    Thanks!

    They collected it from me the first time, and it wasn't a separate courier or anything. I called the people who repaired it and the engineer is going to return my call, but it seems like something I should be able to do myself. How do you get the stand off? Presumably it's doable, to add the VESA mount?

  • Help: 5800 came back from repair with **bleep** th...

    Hello everybody,
    I had to send my 5800 in for repair (gap at the top right corner) and after it came back I had a different theme installed on the phone. I have the blue version of the phone with the theme also containing blue elements.
    Now after repair they must have done something to my firmware: the standard "sound waves" theme now does not have blue elemens any more - they are more greyish which looks horrible.
    No what I did:
    - updated the phone to v30 -> did not help
    - did a hard reset -> did not help
    "Sound waves" is the only theme installed and I cannot select the theme color anywhere (my background also has grey waves instead of blue ones). Do I have to send in the phone again?
    Thanks for your answers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK, thanks for that.
    That will be the 4th time I have to go to the NSC
    I'll talk to my dealer tomorrow and see if I can get the money back, because I had the phone send in 3 times because of this gap problem and after each "repair" the problem got worse.
    I am very unhappy with this phone: bad homescreen (even with V30) and the gap at the upper right corner.

  • (3) 24" iMacs, in a row, all with one dead pixel? Why? Normal?

    Hi, sorry if this has been addressed before BUT... Last week I started my adventure of getting a 24" iMac. I have returned 2 and am now with the 3rd in the same condition. All 3 have had 1 stuck (dead?) red pixel. An all 3 they looked exactly the same. In fact on the 3rd iMac the screen was perfect when I launched it for the first time, then before my eyes I watched a red one appear. On all 3 I took a photographer's loop (small magnifying glass) and looked closely. It appears that of the 3 bars of color, the Red, Blue and green lined up. The green is black or not lit up. I am baffled. Am I crazy, is this normal, can someone explain. The exact same green bar out on all 3. Please help, I am really obsessing over this. $2000 and I have to get anxiety looking at my screen....

    I have one stuck red pixel on my 20" white iMac. I think it was there from the beginning, but I didn't notice it until about 2 months after I bought it. At first it was annoying, but I don't even notice it now. According to Apple, a few defective pixels is considered normal; Apple claims that if they had to reject all but absolutely perfect screens, their computers would cost much much more than they do.

  • I have one dead pixel on my iPad Mini, besides sending it back is there anything I could do?

    On my iPad Mini screen, since I have bought it, there has been one small black dot in the middle of the screen (I'm presuming a dead pixel because its absolutely always there). And I'm not too bothered about it but if there was something I could do without having to send it back that would be great!
    Thanks

    My iPad Mini arrived this morning with a dead pixel. I am going through the exchange process now. Hopefully the next one I recieve will not have this problem. Is this a popular issue?

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

    hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

    If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
    If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.

  • 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.

  • ONE DEAD PIXEL ACCEPTABLE?

    i have one dead pixel in my right top corner you cant stee unless everything around there is lit up, but when it gets dark like in the sliding menu you can see it...is this acceptable and will it get worse as in more dead pixels later on?
    Solved!

    It's always annoying, but I am not sure of Nokias policy on dead pixles. I had dead pixles on my computers before, but never on a cellphone. I had one on the Dell laptop I am using now. It was dead from the beginning, but after 2 months it dissapeard. Now the screen is perfect.
    I have read a lot of posts on other forums about pixle massage and programs to get the pixle back, but as I have understood, it's a difference between a dead pixle and a stuck pixle.
    If nobody can answer you on this, I would use the contact link and ask about it, or take it to a carepoint. But as i mentioned, I don't know what the policy is on that issue is.
    Personal opinion - the screen is small and it's annoying. It should be covered by warranty and get replaced.

    Sorry those pics might be gone, since you restored from your backup.
    Only way possible if by some possibility you were able to backup your current data to itunes, then you can restore from that backup.
    Open itunes - edit - preference - devices - backup - see if there is an up to date backup.
    If you don't have one then sorry those pics are gone.
