    This morning I turned on my T41p and found that I have 1 horizontal row of white pixels. This occurs near the bottom of my screen and I noticed it because my windows panel was behind it. I have the SXGA+ LCD.

    I hope they arent dead pixels cuz that would suck majorly, but seeing as they are only white what could be the problem?

    Any ideas??

    thanks

    I have run Dead Pixel Buddy and the thing is Isnt that going to take a very long time to do? Especially at a 1x1 pixel size??

    Huh? I'm not sure what you are talking about, but dead pixel buddy is just a program that brings up certain colored screens and you'll be able to see if you have any dead pixels. For example: if you chose the white background, the dead pixels will show up as black.

    Well - it seems that I have stuck pixels as they change colors while gaming.

    Sometimes you can get rid of stuck pixels with a certain program that flashes your screen with random colors. I'm not sure where you can get one, but I bet you can find it on google.
