It's definitely not a mark, and I've switched the screen off and on, again, and I only got this laptop a few weeks ago. I can't actually actually ****ing believe this has happened. Cheap bastards. What the hell could have caused this? :'(

It should still be under warranty, call for a replacement. |

You're complaining that just one pixel on your laptop isn't working? |

Yes. The sentinel, taking a screenshot wouldn't work as it's a problem of the monitor, not the computer. Just take a screenshot and draw a random black pixel somewhere. I know it's only one pixel but I bought this so recently, it's so annoying. |

don't get too angry. dead pixels happen all the time, even on the best quality notebooks (like macbooks). just remember that on a 1280 x 800 screen there are over a million pixels so the chances of just one being damaged is pretty high |

I've never ever experiences a dead pixel on any other monitor, before. Jia, it's a Toshiba. |

I've had it happen a few times to my laptop. They always just replaced the screen for me and I didn't lose anything on my harddrive. That's with Acer's repair service though, I'm not sure about Toshiba, but if you have a warranty I couldn't see them giving you any problems with replacing it.

Toshibas are good, so don't worry. Steer clear of Acers though, seen plenty of complaints on the old ZB support site about them. It has been mentioned many times: If you have a warranty, send your laptop back and they will fix it. Edited by FinalKiller0, Sep 27 2008, 01:53 PM.

I don't know whether it's worth the trouble of sending it for repairs - I forget about it most of the time. :-/ |
