    Hello Everyone,

    I have had my M17x exactly 1 week today (Yaayy!! :D ), but when I truned it on today, I noticed in the lower right portion of the screen I had a single flickering "pixel." It was extremely noticiable and bothersome. I have never actually seen a "stuck" pixel, and this one was flickering, not just stuck 'on' or 'off' (which is what I thought a stuck pixel was). A reboot did not clear it, but a cold boot did? I shut the laptop down and pulled the battery for a few minutes. When I turned it back on, the pixel was no longer flickering, and appears fine? Is this a symptom of a stuck pixel, or just some random occurance? Does anyone know what Alienware's policy on stuck pixels is anyway? Thanks!

    Rich S. :eek:

    They'll replace your whole LCD monitor, as they did mine today for my stuck pixel. They'll send a tech to your house, but too bad my tech forgot the reseat my bluetooth card.
