Dead Pixels

[Sploogie]

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.

 

[Sploogie]

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.
