Only got it yesterday and it was all good. Just now I noticed a blue dead pixel pop up. Can I fix it myself or do I have to return it when they get new ones home?

Scrolling Dock And Suddenly All My Apps Appeared?

Feb 21, 2011

I just received my iPad in the mail on Friday, so I'm assuming I have the newest version of everything. Anyhow, I was working in keynote and I'm not sure what I pressed (I know my finger was on the home button) but all of a sudden a dock of all my apps appeared. It was so beautiful and I've been LONGING for that capability on my iPhone. But now I cant figure out how I did it or how to get it back. Was it just part of the keynote app or do iPads now come with that capability without first downloading an app.

IPad 2 Dead (pixel) On Arrival?

Apr 13, 2011

What's happening to Apple's customer service? So after waiting nearly a month after ordering (online Apple store), I FINALLY got my iPad 2 today, and was so excited to get started with it. Immediately after syncing, I notice a very noticeable dead pixel right smack in the center of the screen.I'll just call Apple Care, let them know about it ASAP so when I go to swap it out, they can't say I did it later.The tech support guy is like "how many dead pixels"."1" I tell him "Ok, well, yeah, you did the right thing by calling us. Now just watch it to see if it gets worse, then feel free to call us back". (Paraphrasing)I asked him what about the red dead pixel my in the center of my screen that is so obvious anytime a white screen is on the iPad. He proceeds to tell me that Apple's policy is not to do anything unless it's at least 3 dead pixels! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I just spent $600 on this brand new iPad, and I'm just supposed to accept a dead pixel? I then asked what about doing an outright exchange, which I'm entitled to do dead pixels or no dead pixels. Sure, he says, and connects me w/ sales.Now, up to now, even though I'm disappointed w/ what the tech guy had to say, at least he was very warm and nice about it. The type of courtesy I've come to expect from Apple care. Not the case with the lady from sales.

She proceeds to tell me in a very annoyed and brief tone that I can NOT RETURN TO THE APPLE STORE BECAUSE I BOUGHT ONLINE. She says "because they'll have no record of your sale". Seriously? How is that possible? How about I just pull up my receipt on my iPhone for you and SHOW you my record of sale. No go. So basically, according to her, I have 14 days to initiate a return. I have to send it to them, ON MY DIME. Then I have to place a new order and wait all over again!!! NOT COOL! I could understand if I just had buyers remorse, or wanted a different model, but it's an exchange for a manufacturer's defect. It's not my fault I got a unit w/ a dead pixel!

I just find it hard to believe that if I walked into an Apple store (unfortunately I live 3 hours away from the nearest one and driving there this weekend is not an option for me due to work obligations) that I wouldn't be able to get a genius to swap this out for me. Anyone have any experience doing this? Is it really that strict with separating Apple online orders and in store purchases? Will they really not swap it out because I don't have enough dead pixels or because I bought it online? Or did I just get an Apple Care rep in a bad mood?

Dead Stuck Pixel On IPad 2 Screen

Apr 24, 2011

I have found a dead/stuck pixel on my iPad 2 screen and not sure what I should do about it. The problem is, this is my fourth unit due to light bleed issues and the other 3 replacements I have had have also had scratching on the back, straight out of the box. The unit I have now is the best one I have had - less light bleed issues and a flawless backing. Only issue now is that I have found this dead pixel. It is really obvious and really annoying but I don't know whether to take it back because of all the trouble I've already had with the previous units.

Dead Pixel After Upgrading To 4.2.1

Dec 9, 2010

Within 12 hours of (finally) updating my still-new iPad, a major issue popped up. In the appearance of a dirty red/orange spot on the top-right portion of the screen. I'm unsure if it's a software issue or a hardware glitch, as... It only appears on brightness above 40%. Bringing up the app switching bar (by double-pressing the Home button) makes it disappear. In MyPaint (the app I use most on my iPad) above 40% brightness it didn't appear even in a completely black portion of the screen.

Dead Pixel In The Middle

Aug 5, 2010

I got my wife an iPad for Mothers Day and I noticed last week that there is a dead pixel right in the middle. It bugs the hell out of me but I didn't want to tell her because she hasn't noticed yet. If I got it in May is it to late to trade it out for a new one with a 100% working screen?
