A pixel on my idrive screen went green, it seems like it died...

I'm taking my car to the dealership next Friday
Take a look

The curse of LCDs have struck!!! :'(

I'm really curious as to what your dealer would say. Because with PC LCD Monitors, only select manufacturers will replace/repair your LCD if it has one dead pixel. Most of the time they require something like 3 - 9 dead ones before they even consider fixing it.

Hope it all goes well!!!

Yah I see the dead pix.
Oh boy, how can you live with out it?

After paying so much $$$ and they skip a pixel? oh boy! oh boy!

You acctually have two dead pixels.. the other near the upper right hand corner sort of. I think I had a dead one too but its black and/or I rarely ever see it stand out so it doesn't bug me. Might be something to consider complaining about though before the car goes out of warranty -- plenty of time for that though!

That pixel on the upper right was actually dirt, I wiped it out with a soft cloth... shame on me for not cleaning before pics.
I will post what the dealer says on Friday

I have a dead pixal as well, my lovely wife brought it to my attention, as i didn't notice it.
Not sure what I will do, I have to weight the possability of adding a squeek to the disassembled
dash after replacement.

If more pixals die I will opt for warrenty replacement, but just the one isn't a big deal now.

I also have one dead pixel, but it doesn't bother me too much.

Normally wh you buy a computer screen the small print says that something like 0.01% fault is not covered by warrenty. That mostly means a few pixels.
