2709W, found 1 sub-pixel dead red after 5 years. :-(

Dear readers,

As the perfectionist I am later that yesterday, I found 1 dead subpixel red somewhere at the bottom right of the screen. I checked the entire screen when I bought it new on the Dell site. Happy I was and I'm still with the monitor is it still possible to solve this problem? Guaranteed after 5 years should have disappeared, of course, but I'm just not used to happen with screens LCD after years. Usually the pixels continue to work after 24 hours of testing. I remember myself even check my monitor after 2 years of purchase and everything was always very well then.

But yesterday, I really found a dead red sub-pixel, which annoys me because now I continue to watch (it's a habit that most share hehe). Is it possible to solve it yet or should I just live with it?

It's a Dell Ultrasharp 2709W with 1920x1200dpi btw. I think that he is not a serial number, but I buy it through this site 5 years ago. Also in my account that order went as I can check only up to 2 years back...

Thanks if anyone can help me. I use the monitor often nowadays and if there is still a change for me to make me happy again then I gladly hear then! Thanks in advance!

So, essentially, you are implying that there is no guarantee even after 4 years of use, and when all the pixels were infact during this period, that it will not happen again?

I've always heard after a good week of use when it is new, and all the pixels work at this time, that it is an indication, it will stay like this forever? Without no doubt... but it is quite low and sad and then because I'm always extremely careful with my stuff. The screen has not yet moved in the same place since the new condition immaculate so I wonder why this tiny red subpixel little says goodbye... for the rest, that this screen is in a State that it can be sold like new again. No difference to see. Not a scratch or anything else. Too bad because I was hoping it would be good so I can use it for many years without the dead pixels.

So what can we do about it? I expect Dell to fix somehow, even after 5 years only (for evidence they take care care of other people and their good intentions.) I want to always use this screen without any pixel...

  • Pixel dead on Satellite P100-347

    Dear all,

    We just bought this great P100-347, and we know that it is one of the most powerful machines on the market. But there is a very annoying defect that we feel that this is something that everyone should be made aware.

    After comparing the different brands of computer on the internet and in several computer stores, we have decided to go for another PC Toshiba laptop. The House and what came as a surprise was when we started for the first time, that we noticed a "glimmer of hope green/white" on the screen. Yes, consistent dead/no pixels. The brilliant green point just seems very annoying and spoils everything.

    Immediately, we called Toshiba global customer. We were informed but expecting a call in 3 days. When we asked if we were to take back to the retailer in hopes of an Exchange or expect from Toshiba for the reminder. After searching the Internet for problems of dead pixels, we found that many people on this website have the dead pixel problem.

    We like Toshiba and continues to buy the Toshiba brand, we hope to get this fault recognised by society. We would be grateful if a repair or replacement service may be provided.

    Our view is that, turn on the computer right there in the shop after completing the purchase, in this way, if there is no default, it makes the resolution easier and faster for all parties involved and then you can just take home your perfect and beloved machine without a worry in the world.

    Fingers crossed for our new Toshiba fixed/replaced.

    Hello

    I understand you very well.
    During my investigation in this forum, I found some comments and advice on issues of pixel dead on laptop screens.
    Usually it is not big thing to do because there is a kind of tolerance of dead pixels.

    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm

    Only if the number of dead pixel is larger, then the number described in the document above the ASP will replace the screen.
    The best advice is to go back to the dealer and replace the notebook.

    I think you should also check this document on dead pixels

  • HP Deskjet 970Cse only prints red after the new color cartridge installed.

    HP Deskjet 970Cse only prints red after the new color cartridge installed. I use black HP 45 and HP 78 color. Both are new. I know the printer is an older model, but it works well a month ago.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your help.  It was a faulty cartridge.  I pressed a white cloth on the ink source and only yellow and blue were visible, without red (magenta).  I've returned the fabric and cartridge in the store (with my receipt) and managed to get another canister... it worked!  Both cartridges have dates of expiry of 2016.  Glad I didn't have to spend time troubleshooting my printer.

  • After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Original title: Vista Activation issue

    After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

    and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

    such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

    I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

    It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

    I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

    Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

    I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

    It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

  • MacBook Pro 9.2 breaks down after 2 years

    Hello

    I bought a Macbook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012) 9.2 on June 6, 2014. After almost two years, he froze one night. After restart, it showed a gray/white screen with an exclamation mark in a folder. After a visit to the store where I bought and a diagnosis of HARD drive, it appeared that the HARD drive was broken. So far so good.

    I replaced the HARD drive, but the problem persisted.

    That's how the problem was revealed: I managed to launch several times and it worked like a charm for several hours, then again: freeze (spinning beachball), the mouse will not move, the system is totally insensitive.

    Strange thing: the Apple Hardware Test showed no problems.

    Another strange thing: once, I was streaming music on the internet. He continued to play and he always did it for 30 minutes. Then, I held the power button for the shutdown of the system.

    After reboot, I had a gray screen with question mark or a sign of ban folder or the symbol of apple with a spinning wheel. After leaving "rest" for a few hours, it starts again. I performed this ritual for several days. So far: the laptop computer is unbootable. It seems it's broken for good.

    The real question is: If there is a hardware problem (motherboard or memory card), how was the system able to work several times for long hours. It may not be a software problem. With the new HARD drive, I reinstalled the system.

    I googled HARD drive cable might be vice and that this could be the source of the problem. As something bad connection. But how can you be sure? Everyone knows about similar problems with his Macbook pro 9.2 (13 inch, mid-2012)?

    I am very disappointed. It's the second Macbook Pro abandons him on me. The first one (15-inch Macbook Pro 4.1) broke after four years due to a faulty graphics unit.

    Thank you for your suggestions.

    To test a possible cable fault, remove the HARD drive, plug it into the MBP via USB and start the MBP with the OPTION key down.  The HARD drive icon should appear, click on it.  If it works normally, then that is an indicator that the SATA cable is defective or has a bad connection.

    Ciao.

  • Satellite Pro A10: after 3 years now just started closing

    Hello

    Can someone help with this problem?
    I've had my Pro A10 sitting about 3 years now and it has just started to close.
    I had the fan replaced and cleaning of the unit.
    In power options, I put the CPU to the minimum speed and max cooling.

    Someone at - it any other suggestions.

    See you soon

    All you did was just to prevent overheating of the laptop.
    After 3 years of dust and debris could prevent the cooling modules work correctly

    So after laptop all cleaning should work and the laptop does not overheat.

    Maybe a new thermal paste between the CPU and the cooling module could help reduce the heat from the CPU.

    In addition, don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop for the circulation of air correctly

  • Minimalist app is ends after 30 years... why?

    What are the minimum actions that an application needs to be able to stay running?

    As a learning exercise and to help test something, I tried to write an application almost without function (as in, has no function...) "don't call the functions").

    It starts with a nice white screen (provided by the operating system, I guess, since I don't return anything) and sits there for 30 seconds, it blocks a lower-level event any (not even the things BPS event... just thought posix).

    After 30 years, the operating system kills the process.

    No idea why?  What should do to live longer to an application?  Call bps_initialize() is not enough... try this.

    Should we create a context of screen?  Ask for any kind of events and start to receive them with a call to get_event()?  Or something else?

    (I vaguely remember Elena comment on AIR apps that need to do something in a timeout or they would be killed, but I don't remember what it was and can't find the thread).

    All applications (AIR, native, whatever) must create and present a window within 30 seconds.  Otherwise, the system assumes that the app is not started correctly and will kill him.

    The basic assumption is that applications exist to introduce interactive behavior to the users. :-)

  • Browser blackBerry Smartphones not working anymore after 2 years

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me with the following: after 2 years my internet browser no longer works on my BB curve 9300 (not via 3G, no WiFi). FB and Whatsapp still work.

    Now my smartphone is only half of a smartphone, so I hope that your team of professionals will be albe to help me in no time.

    Thanks a lot from the outset.

    From what you describe, I can only deduct that the Service books never happened to your BB... and if you waited the hour and then restarted. And even then your services were not working.

    Given this scenario, you next fall at what stage followed 3 in what I provided above... in touch with your mobile provider for formal support. Something went wrong turned into the connection between your device and your network of carriers... only they can watch their network to understand why this has happened and remedy.

    It is true that, in many markets service BB/BIS costs indeed data plans more 'generic'... it's because there's infrastructure that the carriers and the BB must provide/support so that the exclusive services of BB to function. Non - BB devices don't use this infrastructure, and so in many markets the carriers can get away with paying more for it. But this price is set by carriers (not all markets have a surcharge for BB services... services of BB to sell at the same price as non - BB... it varies).

    Good luck!
