How to solve the dead pixel problem? and how is dead px formed?

dead pixel cannot solve leh. although i heard of ways to making it disappear i can't remember (don't want to give you wrong facts). if ur mb has more than 6 dead pixels mac will exchange 1-1 with you. if 1 or 2 then bear with it coz they dont do exchanges.

so bad.. I tried the massaging mehtod before and it works. but now it's not working .

You need to have X amount of dead pixels only Apple will honor it for warrant claim.
If 1-2 pixels it doesn't count officially. Unless you "find a way" to make them help you with it.

Hey wei..

I'm still having the same problem..
keyboard and trackpad not working after restart..
After restart i have to either run the combo update again or repair my HD permissions then when i restart can use again..

I did what u said except reinstall OSX..
Cause i dont have the dvd with me..
My cousin already ripped out my OSX DVD and plan to upload to torrent for me to download..
The iso file he ripped can also be used right?

I think it's better to have an actual copy. If he rip it wrong way you will have more trouble than helping it. Did you call AppleCare like I suggested?

You paid so much partly it's for their service, if you don't make use of it, it's a waste. Why so painfully download/upload/burn??? Apple might able to help you out with a solution, talk to them.

call apple care of russia or malaysia lol?

recommend for all mac user

Call Malaysia -> international call
Call Rusiia -> local domestic??
Your choice. They will all forwarded to call centre and they might be anywhere in the world. I once spoken with an indian, a turkish and an american ofcourse.

i have a macbook pro late 2008 (15.4 and 512) and it experiences random freezes. when i'm on vista 32 (via bootcamp). however there is no problem at all, when i'm with xp.

i have tried two methods, and was wondering if there are other alternatives to these:

1. enter safemode and disable the nvidia (not good for me, as i'm using an external display)

2. use RIVATUNER; a so-called overclocking method (not a fan of this as it will damage the hardware)


any other suggestions? thanks a lot in advance

You have 2 options:
- Wait for apple to release update and hope will remedy the problem.
- Bring to service center and let them ponder on the problem. Most likely won't help unless you get AppleCare agree to let you have a replacement unit.
