Dead pixels, will Apple exchange?

[xraytech]

My iPad is a 1st Batch iPad and I finally noticed 3 dead pixels right in the middle of the screen. Noticed them right after removing my Power Support Anti-Glare overlay, which probably explains why I did't notice them earlier.

Anyways will Apple do a swap, even after this long?

Would appreciate an answer soon, I have an appointment at the Apple Store later today.

UPDATE:

NEW IPAD!!!

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I bought a 23 inch display like 6 years ago when they were the bomb, it had a couple dead pixels and I returned it like 2 weeks later no prob.

Really depends on the "genius" you end up talking to. Luck of the draw it sometimes seems. If you look closely and can actually find some dust under the screen, you'll have a better chance of a quick swap out.

Oh forgot to mention that I do have one dust particle under the glass. So it's an easy swap then?

Dust problems should be a quick/easy swap out (from what I've read around here).

Dead pixels + dust particles under the screen = swap for a new one.

Just call in advance to make sure they have your specific size model in stock.
