Macbook Air M1 Small Black Dots On Screen !

You should go to apple store and claim the warranty cause its dead pixel.. and manufacture problem..… if its under three month they will replace the screen… thats happen to me too… and now its a brand new screen… i bought it to apple store and they replace with without any question…

Hi everyone, I had this problem then I contacted Apple Support and they promptly replaced the screen (the entire top lid) and the new screen is perfect. Download the Apple Support App and they will help you get the best solution. Dead pixels can happen on any display and Apple will replace it even if it's only one pixel (most manufactures wouldn't do this)

If your product is under warranty then go to an authentic service center. They will replace the screen without any charge otherwise you will have to pay a huge amount.

So to tell you all, those are not dead pixels. As the MacBooks are thin, the distance between the keyboard and the plastic layered screen is critical, there are a lot of possible times when little dirt, dust goes onto your keyboard, and when you close your laptop, the keyboard pushes it inside the plastic layer, which makes the layer deformed, and breaks the outer light in a different way, resulting a distortion, and darkish colour on your screen. The are no dead pixels, but a damaged plastic layer, which can only be replaced with the screen itself which is quite expensive.

Since this is not a manufacturer's fault, but a damage caused by YOU, Apple DOES NOT REPLACE THE SCREEN because of this anymore, so you have to start living with it.

Take care of you MacBooks, try to wipe off the dust when you close the laptop.

I had some dead pixels on my M1 MBA, the service center replaced my screen for free under standard warrantee. Just found some few dead pixels on the replaced screen at the bottom right today.

If your MacBook is under warranty or AppleCare and there are 3 or more dead pixels, you should get a screen replacement for free at Apple’s authorised service Center.

hey I just want to know.. what happen with your macbook now? cause my m1 macbook have the same problem just today... its weird.. I didnt do anything i just left it overnight for rendering some 3 hours of video and at the morning I just noticed the black dot thingy on my screen... can I get this fix with warranty? cause I purchased this on last christmass..

This happened to mine also but it was a black spot. I did several remote support sessions. Reset, disk repair and then reinstalled software, it got worse over time. Then went completely black screen, did not function at all. I tried to fix it myself by pushing the dead pixels and they would move around and change, apple repair was closed during lockdown here so I sent it into one of there 3rd party apple licensed repair (terrible idea) waited 2 months to be told I would need to pay $900 for a new screen as it was "customer damage". I've never damaged the computer.

Hey

I just recently noticed the same issue with my Air M1. After zooming in with my phone you can definitely see that it is like burned pixels. See attached photos

Hi!

I have the same problem with my MacBook Air M1. I bought it 2 months ago and I am sure I have not done anything that could damage it. Is there any solution?

i have same problem in my macbook air m1 2020

i am disappointed that i purchased high branded product and and i got black dot in display within 2 3 months. then what is the meaning of costly product?

I have the exact same issue as small black spot on the screen which is quite bothering esp when working on powerpoints and other creative tools. My mac is in warrnaty. Any idea how long they take to fix it? I dont have another laptop to use as backup so worried about the turn around time.

Thanks, I have claimed it. Authorised service centre is agreed to replace the screen. Let’s see what happens. I think now a days apple is not serious about its quality of products because this problem is occurring with lots of people.

I bought my macbook air M1 in Oct 2021 and just in a month of usage this dead pixel (dark spot) appeared in the centre of the display. It is very unfortunate that I have to go to service centre after buying such expensive products from apple.

Apple should take this manufacturing defects with utmost concern.

No, It is very easy to say "damaged caused by you", If someone is buying the premium product that person knows how to take care of it. In some cases it may be possible the customer is responsible but if happens frequently for most of the users then apple should take care of it. For my specific case, I took care of my MacBook very well and after two months I saw a dead pixel. I found this problem happened with most of the users after two months.
