Dead Pixels

---

Has anybody experienced a dead pixel on their Sony Tablet S?

I have 1, not a big deal, but when you spend £400 on a device, you become very aware of it and you do not expect it to happen after a few days of buying it.

Im just seeing if anybody else is in the same boat, and if so, what they did about it?

Haven't exclusively looked, but I normally notice that sort of thing

I'd take it back, it's a genuine manufacturing defect. If they give you some BS about repairing just say you want a straight refund then buy another one, that's what happened with my Dell Streak.

Thanks for the advice. I was going to pop to the store tonight and see what they say, but I know some stores can be a bit funny about things like that.

Aren't a certain amount of dead pixels considered ok though?

Not when you spend a large sum of money on a tablet it isnt.

Anyway, managed to swap it it this evening thanks

Had that issue too....exchanged it for a new one..so far so good..weird thing was though, before I returned the one with the dead pixel, I did a factory restore to wipe all my info. After that the pixel was fine lol Still, didnt want to take the chance and just exchanged it.

Did you tell them you had issues with pixels or did you make something up to exchange it?

I told them it was a pixel issue...The guy turned it on, and like I said, it didn't show up because of the factory reset. I told the guy that I didnt want to take a chance and they gave me a new one.

No dead pixels here and havent seen any on a device in a few years. This is 2011. It shouldnt happen.
