Sudden Dead Pixels...HELP!

[niffcreature]

Hi houstoned, can you get a screen shot, or is the line too thin.

The only thing I have experienced that was similar to this was when I started to get thin stuck vertical lines on my laptop screen. It turned out to be a fault with one of the LCD data tabs that run along the top and sides of the LCD. I had to replace the screen to fix it.

Best thing is to check if it is a faulty LCD or something else. Plug your laptop into an external monitor like a TV. If the stuck pixel line is no longer visible on the external, it means you have a faulty LCD. If it is still there it may something else like the LCD cable or LCD inverter (though I think that is unlikely for this problem).

..u think u kno something we don't?

BTW if he took a screen shot, the line wouldn't be there.

The only thing you can do is run those programs that you said flash colors on your screen and hopefully they get rid of them. If they don't then what are you waiting for? Do you really need to debate whether to send it in or not? I would of done it like yesterday lol

it's not that i'm debating. i just really need my laptop for work, so i'd have to find a good time to send it off for 2 weeks. not to mention, i have NFL fantasy drafts coming up!

i love my laptop...do u know how sucky it would be without it for 2 weeks?

Yes as a matter of fact i do! i was without a gaming laptop for over a year!!!

Yeah true, you need fantasy football when all the texas teams suck, i understand lol

This is why you have a backup laptop.

I doubt it would take more than a week for a simple screen swap. Plus Sager pays for 2-day shipping both ways.

that's good to hear. the rep i spoke with informed me that the turn around time would be about 2 weeks. i'm sure it'll take at least 6-7 business days.

2 weeks is nothing, i lost it for over 3-4 weeks a few weeks ago.

honestly, 2 weeks is WAY too much time just to replace 1 part. i'd be really pissed off and ready to write off a company if they took 3-4 weeks just to replace my monitor.

I never thought I was going to hear some like this , here is my experience one month ago I purchase my M18X and I have a dead pixel on the screen well I call and they build a replacement machine it took 5 days to arrive to my shop and the screen was perfect but few days ago I was playing crysis 2 and I saw a line of stuck pixels on the bottom of the screen like 7 half inch from the edge this is the first time some like that happens to me but today they replaced the screen and everything looks good again

Well they repaired 80% of my laptop to find the actual problem (which i already said to them but didn't listen (mainboard))

See topic -> Clevo P170HMx problems (alot)

- Intel i7 Q2720 (got replaced within a day)
- 2x 4 GB ram modules (got replaced within a day)
- Mainboard (got replaced within a week)
- LCD Screen (got replaced within a week)
- LCD Cable (got replaced within a week)
- Geforce GTX 485m (got replaced within a week)

The only thing that did not get replaced in this laptop is the blu-ray drive and my hard disk drive.

The first 2 part are repaired in Belgium (where i bought my laptop) but he tested the laptop for 2-3 weeks to see if the problems where gone (which where not).

The last 4 parts are repaired in Germany (somewhere by München) so shipping took longer than the actual repairs.
