Dead Pixels

My 15" 2.33 C2D is about a week old (since purchase)...

I have at least 2 dead pixels...does apple usually care about this?
If I cant get some other issues to work, I am going to see if they will
swap it out for another one...so I can try my apparent "luck" with another..

I was wondering if I can tell them about the dead pixels to strengthen my case?

It's my understanding that Applecare doesn't care about dead pixels. I don't think it's covered under the extended warranty. You might contact them though, if you've had other problems.

Why don't you just back up your files, and then return it for another one?

I searched for info regarding Dead Pixels and Apple's Dead Pixel Policy if at all one exists :

Please bear in mind that some of this info is probably dated and also that everything you read on the internet isn't necessarily the truth.

i've learned to live with it.... everything else about this machine is great.... a few dead pixels will just have to be dead.

thanx 4 the research tho
