This may not be your problem but I have found that in some LCD screens the pixels can "stick" and remain black even if they're not activated. Try GENTLY snapping the black spots with your finger to see if they will free up. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Good luck.

SOURCE: toshiba regza lcd 46x3500

This is what is known as a dead pixel. If you have a standard wide screen lcd monitor it has over 1 million pixels. It is not super un-common for one to go bad. It will either always be dark or in your case always be lit. It is not worth it to repair, and in most cases unless you have multiple dead pixels with in a square inch of screen, it is not covered under warranty either.
Each pixel is individual and the problem will most likely not spread.

SOURCE: my canon sd10 digital camera lcd balnk/black bu

Had the same problem with my SD10. The switch in the AV port sometimes gets dirty or corroded, and tricks the camera into thinking that an AV plug is inserted. This will turn off the screen.

To fix it, repeatedly insert and remove an AV cable into the port several times. This may help break off any corrosion or dirt that may be holding this switch open.

SOURCE: I have an Icom VHF that was hooked up reverse polarity on 12v.

They likely replaced just about every diode and possibly the main circuit board. The tech should be willing to tell you exactly what work was done, and many return the replaced parts.

I have a white dot on my lcd computer screen when the screen is black but with the screen on other colour the dot is not significant . I just wonder what the consequence of this dot is?

Hi.

Basically the white dot is a dead pixel, this is common with LCD screens. You have nothing much to worry about unless the screen develops more dead pixels which could lead to a screen replacement although its highly unlikely.



Regards.

Black screen but a have sound,turn off and turn on image appear but screen turn black in few second but sound on.

Unplug your unit then remove the back cover of your tv then observe the power supply look for bulge up or leaky capacitor if you see this capacitor replace them but observe the polarity. This bad capacitor cause your unit to malfunction, this capacitor produces a low and unfiltered dc supply. Try to check it first before you bring it to a repair shop good day and best regards.

My sony television is developing an increasing number of blue dots across the screen. It is a Sony LCD model # KDF-42WE665 I have already reaplaced a bulb to the tune of $350.00 about 2 years ago and now...

This blue dots problem is due to defective blue lcd and related uv filters/ polarizers in optic block (light engine) and optic block will be replace to fis that issue.
It would be costly fix and an experienced tech is needed to do the job. You can expect $1000 repair cost.
Thanks.

Does not go on right away, and screen has dark sections in it

It sounds like the power supply board is beginning to fail. There are several capacitors that blow causing these symptoms. Samsung is covering the cost to repair this problem on certain models. You can call 1-800-samsung to find out if your unit is covered.

Blue dots ingrained within my gps face

Unit is defective - take it back or contact Magellan.
My original 4350 developed this problem (thousands of black or dark pixels on the face) after 3 months. They sent me a replacement unit that also had the same problem right out of the box - I let them have it with both barrels on that one. 3rd time was a charm when I got a clean unit. I suspect that they had a batch of LCD screens that had some contamination from the factory that made the screen that eventually caused the pixels to fail.

Problem to Sync with my Polar F6

The only solution here can be: You have to completely reset your watch and then try to synchronize it again. In case if you've lost instructions, download them here:

www.polardiscount.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idProduct=76 - 87k - Cached - Similar pages

On the right side of the screen you will see:
Polar F6- Black Coal manual.
Click on it and get full instructions.
If all this do not work, you'll need to find your nearest watch repair shop and ask for help.

Do not forget to rate please.

Yes i have a black dot on my new 2008 toshiba notebook.Do you know how to fix it.

If it is just one pixel that is black, you cannot do anything about it. It is what we call a "dead pixel". The best thing to do is to send it back in to the manufacturer and get a free replacement.

It's not the answer you wanted to hear, but again, there is nothing you can do about it.

The front main screen polarizer is damaged. Only two options are available for it. 1. Order a replacement panel, which will cost more that what u probably bought the tv for. 2. Buy a new TV.
