Boot Screen has a white Dot :(
 

Hi
I got my N900 today, and when it boots up, i see a little white dot in the upper left corner where the rest is black. Ist that a pixel error ? If so, is there a tool to test or something to get rid of that ? Or do i have to give away the N900 to get it fixed ?

You want to return your n900 because of a white dot on the boot screen?

Re: Boot Screen has a white Dot :(
 

try this: make a picture that is completely black (for example, create a simple image in windows paint and paint it dead black) and watch it on your n900 in full screen.
if the white dot is still there, it propably is a dead pixel.

lol no i dont want to give it away because of a white dot on bootscreen. This is where i saw that first. It is on every screen.

It's called a dead pixel.

It's a pretty normal error in LCD screens. Even my own 15' TFT has one or two. You still might want to get a replacement if it bothers you too much.

Somehow, I'm only mildly surprised that a 15 foot LCD has one or two dead pixels.

Thx for the reply. I will see how much it borders me. A expensive toy should normaly be 100% ok.

some times if you massage the dot it can come back to life. Gentle finger pressure in a circular motion.

Dont Know, but it got a little smaller with the massage :confused:
It is not 100% away, but getting better, so maby not the dead pixel thing. Or did i give the dead pixel a heart massage ? lol

If you can eliminate the pixel problem with a massage it's not a dead pixel, it's a stuck pixel. :) (that's the actual term for it).
