i took my first on in not for a dead pixel but a light spot that would develop as the screen would warm up.

Can someone explain to me how you know if you have dead pixels?

You will have little tiny white dots on your screen where there should be color.

Oh ok, thx bonz. Don't have that problem I think I'm one of the few that got lucky and got a pretty good device. I just wish we'd start seeing some apps already. I miss my slingplayer!!!!!

I have one dead pixel on my current unit, but it's up at the top in the taskbar and I don't even notice it so I'm willing to live with that but my slider is separating from the back on this one and I had one hulba time in the Sprint store trying to figure out what we were going to do. I won't get into that story though.

I'm more concerned with the deteriorating condition of my slider. An authorized tech at a franchise store tightened some screws for me while I was in there today, which didn't fix it, then when I went back to the corporate store, as he advised, to get a replacement, they tried to tell me that what the tech had done had made my phone ineligible for a replacement... and on and on... I have to go back tomorrow and talk to the manager at the corporate store.

OMFG!! How can they even say that when it was a sprint employee that did it? That is just soooo messed up!! Did you call Sorint at all?

I'm gonna go back in tomorrow like they asked and see how they handle it. I was tired of dealing with it today because they actually made me go back and forth between the two stores until the tech that did the work finally called the other guys to try and straighten stuff out. Then they are trying to tell me that they have a "one replacement" only policy at that store... the whole thing was completely shady. Bottom line is they don't want to hand out replacement Pre's because they are in short supply and each time they do it it's a lost contract for the store.

That video helped for my stuck pixels. They're gone now. Might as well give it a try.
