Very Large Number of Tiny Dead Pixels Down Middle of MacBook Pro 15" Retina

The 'repair' is a replacement. There is no way around that. Whether you get any financial relief is another matter. If you cannot have it done gratis, you might try to see if you can get a 'depot' repair. That is a flat rate charge where nay thing wrong with the unit will be fixed. The last I heard it was $310. It may be different now. It still is better than the prospect of a $600 - $800 charge.

I am having the EXACT same problem! 2012 15" MBP Retina. Hundreds of dead pixels run through the middle of my display. This is my second retina display for this laptop, too! Lucky me, 2 weeks past warranty expiration for the replaced display panel. 😟

SAme problem here!!!

the computer was working with the lift closed as Apole forced us to do when youwant to use just your external screen (cintiq) and when I opned my 2012 retina macbook I found hundreds of pixeles in the same way as you!!!

very scary, I tyried a pram reset, smc and rebolting in safe mode!! None of this worked!!!

hi, I left the computer shut down overnight and in the morning, before turn it on, I did again the SMC and PRAM things, and the screen was nice again!

so maybe it was something with the internal chemistry and it just needed to cold down and nothing to do with the memory or the GFX card

Thank you!!! Thank YOU!! THANK YOU!!

I have several months looking information about this problem. I am from Spain.

I have the same problem.

You've found a real solution?

At least about 150 pixels or more randomly appear on my screen as a wave. The mostly blue and can only be seen when there are dark colors on the screen.

This in a Macbook Pro Retina 15 Late 2013... is impossible to work editing images with a wave of blue pixels cluttering dead.

hi, have you tryied this?:

I left the computer shut down overnight and in the morning, before turn it on, I did again the SMC and PRAM things, and the screen was nice again!

Now i having same issue. 50 plus stuck pixels atleast. It went after overnight shutdown. So, did it come back for you? i really hope not for my sake too. Thx in advance.

Some days are other days not... If there appear to shut down the computer for a few hours and disappear again blue dots.

But as soon as you work a few hours blue spots reappear on the entire screen.

So i figured it out. They are not dead or stuck pixel they are retention pixels. If i play longer in white and bright background and move to darker screen. The bright pixel stay bright for a while. Its problem with early retina screen. Mine is 2014 macbook pro but they replaced the screen early on because of multiple dead pixel. I guess they replaced it with early retina panel. Might help.
