It's a common thing, my 15" LCD has one.

Re: Some pixels missing
 

But after few days? I just wonder whether Nokia can exchange my N900

Re: Some pixels missing
 

Bro wait until the phone is officially available to all retailers first. Send it in now will result in delay. You will suffer the wait. Just bare with it for a couple of month :)

take my advise, I am waiting for the pre-order to turn up too. Trust me you wont want to send it back just yet.

he should do it now to get a new unit!! if he waits he will get a refurb

Re: Some pixels missing
 

I have 10 days but I wonder whether to send it back and order a new one, or tell them about the problem and ask for a new one/exchange?

Re: Some pixels missing
 

i would do it m8, when u pay that sorta money u want a perfect unit

Re: Some pixels missing
 

I would definitely ask for a replace right now. Maybe you can ask them if you can keep your old phone until they're sure they have a new one to send you.

Re: Some pixels missing
 

The dead pixels have been there since the panel was manufactured.

Re: Some pixels missing
 

so the unit is not perfect plus, yes normal ok on a monitor thats 15" and up, but cum on the screen is small... plus just say the pixel is in middle and they must change it!!

Are you saying pixels can't become "hot" (always on) during the course of the device's life? I have one such pixel and I could swear that it wasn't there when I got the phone (on monday ;)). But I know I could be wrong. However, I've checked my screen now and there are no other dead pixels, so if I see any more, I will know they came after I received the unit.

I'm thinking about just living with the problem, because it doesn't irritate me that much. What's funny is that when I tilt the screen just one degree, the dead pixel is no longer visible. And if I tilt it a degree more, it becomes visible again and it doesn't appear white, but a slightly lighter grey shade.

Sometimes there are like 7 dead pixels, sometimes more

Re: Some pixels missing
 

It's not dead if it's not there all the time...that's called a stuck pixel, it can become unstuck by flashing different colors on the screen and/or by rubbing gently on the pixel in a circular motion.

Nokia may have a policy regarding the number of dead pixels needed on the screen in order to warrant a replacement.

Re: Some pixels missing
 

I got that on my n93i too but its definitely a dead pixel. Mine is out of warrenty due to is not from New Zealand, It was from Malaysia lol. So can't returned for warranty.

Re: Some pixels missing
 

what is nokias policy on dead pixels?

Re: Some pixels missing
 

as i remember it have to be 2 dead pixel or more if you want nokia to replace it for you

Re: Some pixels missing
 

im not very impressed by that at all tbqh - ive got a 2407 dell monitor at home and that came with a ZERO dead pixel guarantee.

and thats got 1920000 (2304000 - 384000?) MORE pixels!

i might wait for a later production run.. wait for the quality to improve.. hmmm

Re: Some pixels missing
 

I've been waiting (by far) TWO WEEKS for replacement.
