Is there anything that can be done about a dead pixel? Apple probably won't do anything right? I noticed it not too long after I bought the computer but I was out of the country. Is there any type of warranty on that type of stuff? It only shows when the screen is black, and blue. It is on the left side towards the top. The program that I downloaded, Pixel Check, says to massage the screen?!?! What does that mean?

Well, I suppose it means: "massage the screen"

Now, rub gently with your finger over the area with the dead pixel - maybe it'll come back to life! Seriously.

Good luck
Michael.
