I came back from class and I noticed this little black speck on my screen. I thought it was dirt but when I cleaned the screen it didnt come off. Will this go away, or will it be there for the rest of my pb's life? Its not that terrible since its only one pixel, but still...

You can try gently massaging the area of the screen with your (clean) finger. I've fixed dead pixels like this before, other times there is no fix.

I've had a stuck pixel on my iBook since I got it. They are becoming a thing of the past, thank goodness.

If a nice massage doesn`t work, try taking it out to dinner, and maybe a movie. Flower always help too.

But best of luck. They can be super annoying to deal with, but theres a decent chance you can fix the issue.
