    then it's a GPU error of some sort. update your drivers, see if the problem persists.

    reinstall them. because the bright dot appears on external monitors as well, it has to be a GPU error, and not a physical flaw on your screen.

    you can download by going to the spec list page of your m17, and click on the first M17 17" WXGA+ W/ CAM BLK-PNT link, and it appears at the end of the list.
