Hi to all here!!!
I've just bought a C905 only last wednesday, and everything was alright...since now!
I've discovered that, since 5 minutes, on the display, up/left, there is a RED PIXEL that is shown ONLY with dark backgrounds...and hide itself if chosen a bright background (for example, with a white background the pixel disappear, but with a black one, the red pixel appear again).
In this photo you can see the problem:
Do you know any kind of solution for that? Is this covered with warranty?
Or there's nothing that I can do with that?
Please help me............. |

Looks like a dead pixel on the screen. Take it back to the shop and see if they will replace it, cause the screen is faulty.

Looks like a stuck/dead pixel on the LCD - should be covered by warranty though!

Before taking it back, you could try this :
http://www.jscreenfix.com/faq[....]-do-i-run-the-jscreenfixmidlet
Install the jar on your phone and let it run.
If the pixel is stuck, then this has a high chance of fixing it. Once fixed it should be good for the rest of time.
A lot of the time stuck pixels are not covered under warranty as it is rather common and considered normal.
I am not dissuading you from taking it back though, just be cautious.

But when I run the application, it shows a screen that covers ONLY the part at the center of the display, not the part where are located the signal strenght...where the RED PIXEL are... |

Try performing the display test in the service menu.

I've found it (>*<<*<*), but for how many time the display test have to run?
I've tried it for about 2 minutes, and the RED PIXEL it's still there... |

Well, on a computer display you'll have to run it for about 15 minutes, but I'd personally do it longer on a C905 as the test doesn't update the display as often as the computer tests does.

Ok...but I have to prevent the display from the standy-by...it will have to be always in function during the test time, right? |

Afaik to unstick a pixel you'll need something that's a bit more random and violent than the standard test on the SE, suppose it's worth a try but have a look online for a better, actual tool.
I too now have to return my bloody handset to Orange cos of this led fault. DaVinciTeam have been very helpful though, very kind.
Highly recommend them!
