Guest mrkipling Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Got a dead Pixel on my MDA Compact (might actually be two next to each other as seems quite large for one ). Does anyone know what T-mobiles policy is on phones with dead pixels. I am assuming they would not replace it for such a minor defect ? has anyone else got any dead pixels on their Jams/MDA compacts etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadFromWales85 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I noticed that I have a very hard to see blue one at the bottom of my screen, about 2mm up. It appears to still function, in that if anything else is on the screen another colour, it shows that colour. Either that or the pixels are so small that I cant see it when anything that isnt black isnt there. Either way, mine doesnt bother me, since I dont even see it when watching video etc. I actually noticed it for the first time on the flux challenge loading screen. Ah well :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inspectorgadjet Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I had a dead pixel on my MDA Compact. I got the MDA Compact on Saturday. I have sent it in for an exchange which I should have in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it to my orange shop and argued with a sales rep about it. He refused to change it so I told him I was still within my 14-day cooling off period of the contract and I legally had the right to cancel the contract, then start a new one on the spot thus giving me a nice new E200 minus the dead pixels! He couldn't be bothered to do the paper work and simply gave me an exchange. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrkipling Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Thanks for the info, Inspectorgadget, where have you sent your compact for exchange ? did you give the reason as to why you where exchanging it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike-oh Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yeh i too have a dead pixel. where did you get yours from inspectorgadjet? Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike-oh Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Well my intermediate dead pixel is more fixed than not nowadays (touch wood). I fixed it by applying light pressure with the stylus, kinda brushing and spiraling over the pixel. Try it! (NB: my pixel isn't entirely dead, it flickers red) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked fine for me however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 This thing is weird!! When I got it, the pixel was a steady green all the time (unnoticable on white and similar colours), yesterday it was flickering, and today it is either dead (ie. completely off, no colour) or is working properly!!?? It is really weird. I just hope it stays this way. The company I bought it from won't return it (after all the deliberations i am out of the return period :evil: ) or exchange it (because the unit is "fine"). So I am just crossing my fingers. I love this thing. Its soooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike-oh Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 have you tried my idea?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 yep. Didn't fix it. It still flickers. I am hopefully getting a swap today. I am not sure why, but i can't just swap the unit, but i have to swap the whole package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike-oh Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Ah well, shame it didn't work. Hope your swap goes ok! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Well, they have sent my device the the supplier to see if i "qualify" for a replacement. I bet i have wasted my time. I am stuck without my PDA, and using a cr4py Nokia 8850 that doesn't work properly. These are the uses I miss out on without my XDA II Mini: -------------------------------------------- Wireless Email (WiFi and GPRS) MSN Messenger (WiFi and GPRS) Internet (WiFi and GPRS) Avantgo PIM Music Video Reading Good Phone "Cool" Factor :D -------------------------------------------- ;) :D :D :( :D :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
