Ipad image burn in

Judging by what you are saying this is not normal but you are probably out of luck considering it is over a year old. Any chances you are willing to post some pictures of your screen damage so i can see how bad it is?

That's crazy. Is that particular web page permanently burned into the LCD or is it the last visited page which changes? Either way, this seems like a defect (I've never seen this on an LCD) but as was mentioned, it's out of warranty.

Boy, talk about a slow LCD response time! Have you tried only one Apple store? If so, try another location if you can and see what their reaction would be. But then again, with it being out of warranty...😐

For some interesting reading, Google "lcd screen image retention"

I don't get how that burn in occurred, because if you have burn in don't you need to booking at the same thing for a long time?

Hi, my 1 year old ipad 2 had image retention (burn in) problem since 3 months after purchase..I was too lazy to go to apple store to order for replacement, because the process took long time (usually 1 month) in my country.

I think i m getting used to it...just use the bright colored wallpaper. The image retention seems very visible in the dark blue or gray wallpaper..

i used also some of videos from youtube that fix image retention problem...at least it works on my ipad 2..

Yes it happens on my ipad 2 as well, although it's probably not as bad and it's particularly obvious on the left and right sides of the screen.

I bought it in June as a refurbished unit, maybe that's why the previous owner had taken it back. 🙂

But no, really, I suspect this issue is more spread out than one would think. Some units might be worse than others, and surely it depends on how you use it (brightness setting, display of high contrast images, etc.), but I've seen many reports of this.

My ipad 2 is doing the same thing. It has 2 months left of warranty and I am taking to a Genius Bar appt tomorrow, I'm also saving this thread to show them, so they know its going to get worse.

So i went to the Apple store in Syracuse, NY today and they replaced the ipad right away. The guy looked at it for about 30 seconds and said "let me get you a new one". Great customer service even though the first guy i talked to and told i may have been running a little late was a bit prickish. It looked like i was next on the genious's list anyway. Second time I have been to an Apple store and both times i have walked out with new replacements. The first time was an iphone 3gs that had water damage, but they still gave me a new one. Overall very happy with Apple and their warrenties. Now i just wonder is this iPad only good for whatever was left on my original ipad's warrenty or do i get a year from today of warrenty?

What about your new unit?

Did you actually see an improvement over your previous one?

As far as your warranty, I think you still have your two months left (definitely not an additional year). You can check the expire date by entering the serial number here:

Loving the new ipad 2. I am going to get the apple care before my warranty is up. I figure even if I upgrade it will help the resale value.

I took mine in about a week ago 3 days before my warranty ran out (wish I noticed it earlier) and they gave a me a free replacement iPad. But I just realised my new one is doing the same thing :(

I have an ipad 2 64gb 3g which just now started doing this. Do they still make those or am I going to have to go with a refurb?

It's still under the 1 year warranty, according to apple, until August 12th.
