Sorry that I have asked a lot of questions lately, but you guys are good at answering them :rolleyes:

When I yesterday got my iPad 2 after some testing I spoted dead pixel in safari, it's in white color. But the funny thing is that I can see it if background is white, if it's grey you can see it a bit but if screen is black you cant see it. Is it dead? I don't want to replace my ipad as in Latvia we have only Apple resellers and it dosn't bother me so much if it show up only if background is white. I just want to know what's up with it?

With your Apple resellers, can you not return an item you purchased? I would return it, wait a day and then buy another one.

you can, its jus not as simple as in real Apple Store.
If i use it till iPad 3 comes out, will I be able to exchange it to new iPad 2 and then sell it?

Stuck on is the correct term. Dead is black. Actually if white you have 3 stuck on pixels (Red, Green and Blue) together.

Its interesting, since when I bought it, I activated it in store and then I had no stuck pixels. It showed up after about 30min. Is there anything I can do?

sorry - you cant see it if background is black.


e: I know there was programms for windows that able to repair stuck pixels, is it posible for ipad?
 
On my iPad, I have a pixel which shows black in a blue background only (or black when the picture is blue). In any other color, it displays correctly (ie, it's green in green pic, red in red, white in white, etc...). I was wondering if there's such a thing as a "partially dead pixel."

Yes. This is a defective subpixel.
