Under my macbook screen (the depth appears to be different than that of a stray piece of dust ON the screen) there is a small, grey mark, maybe 2 mm long. It certainly does not disrupt my use of the machine, but it is quite annoying, and it catches my eye almost every time I use the thing. Can anyone tell me what this is, and if there is anything I can do to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance

i have a couple of those (a little smaller, though) on/in my imac g5's screen too. i'm guessing dead pixels?

That was my first thought. The mark, however, is oriented diagonally, and i don't understand how a group of dead pixels could be ordered in such a way.
