Stuck Pixel ... Brand new MI2s

[Treehugger]

Has anyone out there had a problem with a stuck pixel on a new phone? I just received my brand spanking new Xiaomi MI2s from IBUYGOU and was very disappointed to see a glowing green pixel staring me in the face (very noticable on a black background). I guess I'm a bit OCD, but it's very distracting and ... well it's a brand new phone!! I am getting ready to send it back to IBUYGOU for REPAIR and not replacement, as that it IBUYGOU's policy. I did try several pixel fixer apps but nothing worked. I'm bummed. So if they replace the screen I have to pay for it? It was defective out of the box! Doesn't seem right to me.

No, you have a one year warranty period on your phone. I would definitly go for a replacement though, I mean, it's a DOA (dead on arrival). At least that one pixel is DOA .

UPDATE ...
Sent the phone back to IBUYGOU and they just informed me:

Hi,

The Xiaomi repair center says your phone has no big problem. they refuse to repair your phone. so your phone has not been repaired.

hope you can understand!

So I guess a minor defect, such as a damaged pixel, is not covered in their warranty. GRRRRRR!!!!

yes, you need atleast a bounch of dead pixels for the replacment.

Mine had a dead pixel from factory but I don't complain about it =/ most warranties doesn't cover one or two pixels, you need a bunch of them.

If yours one is just suck in one color and not black. You can solve it just pulling out your battery for a couple of minutes. Then put it again and the stuck pixel should be gone.

I solve this way when i set my tv as monitor and sometimes I forget to turn it off when I go a away for a long time.
