Can someone else please take some pictures of their suspect pixels as I'd love to compare them.
I will ask again, how can I printscreen on the n900?

There is a key combination shortcut I believe, see manual and then there's the very handy load-applet that you can install; it's very useful in my opinion.

you can also take a snap of your screen if you oress on the battery- then press the camera then you have 20 secs to press the camera shoot button- the file will be in images..

Anyone contacted Nokia UK recently? They still haven't gotten back to me.

ok guys, I have managed to create small python script that will endlessly switch between black, red, green, blue and white.
here is the script:
just one thing I miss - how to disable screensaver?
or there might be someone who will optimize the script, as this is my first python app(I prefer other langs)
here is the script:
Code:
import sys, pygame, random, time
pygame.init()
size = width, height = 800, 480
speed = [2, 2]
colors = [ [255,255,255], [0,0,0], [255,0,0], [0,255,0], [0,0,255] ]
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)
pygame.display.toggle_fullscreen()
pygame.mouse.set_visible(0);
while 1:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT: sys.exit()
time.sleep(0.001)
screen.fill(colors[random.randint(0,3)])
pygame.display.flip()
or there might be someone who will optimize the script, as this is my first python app(I prefer other langs)

All times are GMT. The time now is 00:23.
However, sometime it's not the screen that is faulty, but the software - for example there might be a problem with framebuffer rendering some of the pixels badly or screen driver might acting up - in that case a firmware update might be a viable solution. Framebuffer problems are easily diagnosed by taking a screenshot on the device - if the screenshot have dead/weird pixels, it's safe to assume that the screen is working properly but the software is acting up. It's a bit more complicated if the screen driver makes the problem, tho... Either way, if that is a problem, a firmware update might be able to fix it.
Actual dead pixels/sub-pixels are as common as they were couple of years ago, actually they are even more common these days as miniaturization poses further manufacturing difficulties - they are just not as visible as they were when you had 800x600 resolution on a 17" screen.
