[P1] Dead Pixel

[Peter Nacken]

Sorry to hear that David.
This is for me the worst gamble these days, whenever I think about a new
iMac / iBook I say "be happy you have 2 screens with no dead pixels"

But I had this problem once before and gotten many answers from this forum
about 2 years ago ...

My condensed bottomline: learn to ignore it or to love it and be glad it is
not read and EXACTLY in the middle ...  Yellow does not interfere too much
with every day work, but I know, it really distracts when watching a DVD ...

There have been people suggesting "gentle massaging" of the area ... But if
that really works, I fear it only works of pixels that had been alive and
died while you were working ... So it is more a "revive" exercise ... A dead
pixel DOA .. I fear there is not much you can do ...

That gentle massaging thing also sounds a bit dangerous to me ...
Potentially causing more damage to the screen ...

And as you may know already, 1 pixel is not a reason for return and exchange
... 

But then again, hey, you have now a KICK ass 800 mhz ibook !!!
