Dead Pixels on Dell Inspiron

[nikhilpai]

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop which I bought in November last year.
It has now developed 2 dead pixels on its screen.

Does Dell replace screens having 2 dead pixels? What is their policy?

I have the normal 1 year NBD warranty.

check with Dell support. they will tell you.

you need to have at least 6 dead pixels if you want a screen replacement from dell. however, if you have one at the dead center of the screen, then you might get an immediate replacement.

6 Dead pixels gets u a replacement.

How does one identify the 'count' of dead pixels..?

dell said

Some suspect pixels, whether white, black, or discolored, can be restored by lightly rubbing the panel.

1. Locate the suspect pixel on the LCD panel.

2. Using a clean, soft cloth, lightly tap the pixel.

3. Using the cloth, apply light pressure to the pixel and rub in a circular motion around the pixel

Regd this I have a LG LCD flatron model no L1720B n I've got a similar problem only here these dead pixels seem to be increasing daily... every day when I switch on the monitor, the black line has grown, I dont know how to stop this from happening... Do u guys know if LG has a lifetime warranty for the screens ? I bought this monitor 3 yrs back n the guarantee period is over...
