Unhappy Boox M92 with defective pixels

Hello,
I mentioned that my M92 has an strange Pixel Error:
Click image for larger version

Name:	1.jpg
Views:	508
Size:	179.6 KB
ID:	80809

The same picture but with inverted colors
Click image for larger version

Name:	2.jpg
Views:	463
Size:	170.6 KB
ID:	80810

This 3 grey Pixels accur only when some surrounding pixels are black and some others white.
Normaly I can't see this error but sometimes small letters gets defaced a little bit.

Does an E Ink display has Pixel Fault Classes like an LCD?
Can I replace the device? I bought it from Booxtor.

Thanks

You'd have to ask Booxtor. Looks certainly defective to me, they don't change their state.

Question - is this a simple checkboard pattern with pixels? Looks like a good idea to use when checking the device in a store.

Yes, I like 1px chessboards for looking for dead pixels, because then dead pixels looks bigger.

If you switch on the M92 then a chessboard automatically appear while booting.

Hi,

as soon as the new batch of M92 has arrived (in two weeks) I will replace your device.
Thanks for positive review in the store!

That kind of customer service gets my vote. My DR800S's screen died completely a few days ago and I was looking for a replacement.

Hope you ordered a lot of them :)

Too bad you are not in North America, I will buy from you in an instant. That's exemplary customer service

I have the same problem (also bought from booxtor); I wonder how frequent it is.
Here are pictures of my dead pixel (the first is a bit off focus; the checkerboard is 2x2 pixels, so the dead spot is rather large)

This could be connected with the magnetic fields from the speaker, as I heard of about the previous M-models.

That would be horrible, it would be ridiculous to fix one problem and create another...

That was a whole different problem, with the digitizer, not the screen itself.

eink is not effected by magnetic fields from simple speaker magnets. it would take a much more powerful magnetic field to interrupt the refresh of the pixels

It's still suspiciously close to the speaker on the backside.

@medvedev: Can you please post an image like psv from your whole display?
