[QUOTE="coach_z, post: 269124, member: 5513"] yes as mr bobbins said sometimes you can "massage the dead pixels" in order to get them to become less noticible. i dont know how exactly this works but sometimes it does the trick. remember that pressing on your lcd is not good for it so do it extremely carefully...what you will hope for in doing this is a) the pixels begin working again or b) next time they come up as green/black/some other color that is less noticible there is no reason to cry though, out of the millions of pixels that are in your lcd there are a certain amount that can fail... if they are located near eachother or if they are in the main viewing portion of the screen a company may replace your lcd for you free of charge hope this helps...and remember it cant hurt to call up apple or bring it to the store to see what they can do for you... also i believe you are still in the time frame where you can return your computer to apple if they can not solve this problem for you, you can then buy a new one and i think you will lose like 10% on that deal for restocking fee's or something like that -chris [/QUOTE]
