[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 27343, member: 273"] My keyboard is parallel, so you might want to try to make sure that it's snapped in on both sides, and that the keyboard is installed properly. As for the pixel, you can try gently massaging it to see if it "wakes up". There is no other way to fix it besides replacing the screen, and Apple won't replace your screen because of a single dead pixel (unless of course you're paying for it). A single pixel is considered well within acceptable QC tolerances. On a related note my girlfriend's family had a PC system built that included a flat panel display. The original display had 2 dead pixels, and somehow, the individual that built it exchanged their display for a new one, only to learn that this new one also has a dead pixel. I recall reading something from Apple where they stated that they have dead pixel "limits", and if every display that had a single dead pixel was rejected for use in their systems, it would drive up the cost significantly.
