Eurgh.. when using paper I have discovered 1 dead pixel. I am not sure whether to carry on using as it takes me a good few minutes to find it normal use. I don't want to take it back and get a number of other flaws on it too.. so confused :|

You might get lucky, is it dead or stuck? I had a stuck blue pixel for the first few days but it was barely noticeable so I decided to live with it.

After a few days it disappeared though and hasn't been back since :)
 
How do you get the split keyboard to dock. Mine sits a quarter of the way up on the screen.

Didn't think you could dock it, but seen a video on YouTube with it docked.

Yeah sorry, looks like he's realised he was onto a good thing and jacked the price up. It's still decent value even at £40 as that's under 7 quid a month for 3GB. Might be worth putting an offer in of £36 (10% off) as I did that on the initial auction and it was accepted instantly and automatically so he may have done the same with this one.

Oh well, it's not urgent as I only use 3G data occasionally so I don't really want to spend a lot on a sim as half the time the monthly allowance goes unused. In an ideal world I'd go for a pre pay micro sim with say 15 - 20Gb data allowance valid for 12months (or even better doesn't expire).

I'll keep my eye on the auction site and see if he does a special offer again.

Literally search for "dida mobile" and it's the first item - should be £28.88 but if you offer £26 (10% off) it should accept it automatically.

I offered £25 and they accepted. Got the Sim on Saturday and must have trimmed it a little too small, I cant get it to work in my ipad3 :(

Is there any way round this now?

Hunters 2 is a cracking game, really needs iCloud support but otherwise it's a must for any turn-based strategy fans, already sunk well over 20 hours into it :)
 
I only got the Ipad3 last Wednesday so I could return it. However I am not too sure its worth swapping it, do any of you have 1 dead pixel, or had 1 dead pixel did you return it? I don't know what to do since it takes me a couple of minutes to find it.

In what way doesn't it work? Does it still say no sim installed? If it is showing correctly but data won't transfer then sometimes rebooting the iPad can sort it out.

I turned the iPad off but its still saying no sim installed

thanks.
 
Strange, only thing I can really suggest is to clean the gold contacts on the sim card or try another sim card to make sure it isn't the iPad at fault.

Thanks, I'll show a screen shot of the sim card, then you can see if it is trimmed too small.

Thanks again.

Indeed, too much off the left and not enough off the bottom, doesn't look like it was aligned properly before cutting. It also looks quite scratched. Is that how you got it? I'd complain if you did.
