What happened to your screen?

How to spot a dead pixel? On a white screen ... I get a red dot. Then I change my screen to some other colors, the red dot remained there.

I have a same issue with a Dell monitor [ high end color calibrated 24" monitor ]. When I called Dell, they came up with excuses [ company policy blah blah ... ].
Lazy to argue further with them. Rest assured, I'll never buy another Dell product.

With regards to my MBP, they are supposed to pick it up on friday, 7 May 2010. But until today no one came to pick up the MBP.
They have agreed to replaced it. If they don't, each and every of my client is gonna hear me rant about the little red dot on the MacBook Pro.
I am using it to show my clients their wedding photos. Just imagine the brides asking me what's that red dot on their wedding gown.  doh.gif
*
I don really notice any of those dots. LOL. maybe because im not into photo edtiting,etc...
my screen suddenly flicker.. like those old desktop PC (the oldest one) the screen got line going up & down..
and the screen will go very bright & dark. sweat.gif
it goes quite fast and make my eye so painfull...
I never buy Dell product because of their sucky customer service. laugh.gif
they picked up mine on friday but before they picked it up they already sent another unit from China so I will be expecting my MBP to arrive by wednesday.
hopefully this unit is not defected. cool.gif

So fast!! I was told ... that my MBP will hv to go back to china, where they'll check it and then send me the replacement. They say it might take approximately 2-3 weeks
before I get the replacement unit of MBP!!
*
why send back to China? the applecare guy told me my unit will be sent to spore. i think spore is asia distribution destination. no? they haven check mine and i guess my MBP haven arrived at spore.. LOL..
my delivery date will be this wed.. quite fast, less den a week.. now i guess will be in subang airport.. delay here & there, etc.. wed oni reach.. LOL..

i don noe why ur case so weird.. i hv been calling apple care guy damn a lot of time.. everytime i call they open a new case.. LOL..

oh ya for those who send to apple reseller, etc i think it might get longer if u buy thru online store. coz the apple care guy told me to deal straight with them rather den going to those shop. sweat.gif

if u bought it from online store don send ur MBP to those reseller. call apple care and if ur MBP is within 14days of purchase, ask Apple to collect it for a new replacement. if ur MBP is nt a CTO unit then u will get ur brand new MBP within 2-3 days after Apple collected ur faulty MBP. this will save ur time going out of the house and u don hv to wait 7days or more for the repair.. xD

With due respect, I think CTO means Customized To Order.
I bought my MBP 13" together with a MiniDisplay to DVI connector.
Discovered a dead pixel with the first 20mins of powering it up.
Called Apple. Now it goes back to China and not Apple South Asia [ Singapore ].
Reason being ... it is a CTO unit. Not a standard unit.
Replacement takes 2-3 weeks from date the faulty unit was picked up.
My location : IPOH.

wow.. ur replacement takes so long? mine less than a week.. 3days.. before they collected my faulty MBP, they already ordered a new one in China and by the time they collected my MBP, the new one is already on its way here. haha.. kinda fast.. xD

dude you should know the calling period is between 9am to 6pm, dont do it at the very end as the call will be answered by apple europe, they cant call the singaporean team, to clarify. do it 5 hours befor ethe deadline at least.
*
i thought it was 24hr? only if u want to speak to the management side then is until 6pm. the call for replacement is nt by apple europe (for my replacement case). mine was by apple singapore. only the management side can decide whether the MBP can be replaced or nt. for technical side is 24hrs.

correct me if i'm wrong. smile.gif
