Dead pixels on the LCD is a common problem with LCD's. It should not coz any problems to the image.. unless the problem was caused by something on the CCD.

Taken from the D100 Manual

"The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded within the product will not be affected."

Changing the set for u will be a matter of good-will for CP. but not compulsory.

Dont look at the LCD.. the LCD is merely a guide.. once finished shooting.. download and see the output on your monitor.. will be more accurate.. one dead pixel.. should not kill your happiness.. hehe..

another strange problem

i just found out that the serial number of the warranty slip is diff with the serial on the body it self :S

Beachboy · 28th February 2004

the warranty serial number is 7001654 but the serial on the body was 70013**.

this make me no confident with my cameral already

The shop has to change for you.. this may have been a mix up when they took out the body to perhaps show someone else.. and the body got rejected coz of the dead pixel. But the wrong Sr # on body and warranty card will make it damn easy to exchange..

I will go down with you to CP if you want tomorrow.. shall we meet there at 10.30am.. the earlier the better.. coz after 12.. will get very busy..

Call me.. I PM'ed you my contact number..

espn · 28th February 2004

Don't worry... CP values their reputation more than just pre-sales, talk to them, get back to Steven, he should be able to get something done for you, worst case is go direct to Nikon for replacement.

Don't worry pal, it'd be fine

Not a lot we can do. Something major is going on if the serials don't tally. I'd act nice, don't get infuriated because it won't help. The problem is if they want to be difficult then they can claim that you bought the camera in the box... and that this defective camera is a different one (the serial number's different after all!). So like I said, be nice. And lesson, check your goods match the serial numbers, although ultimately you should be able to trust a good shop. No doubt if it is Cathay then they have a good reason for doing so, as they have a good track record and reputation.

Beachboy · 28th February 2004
