    What specifically can't you figure out?

    You can always take your iPod and MBP (Or the Windows machine, easier if it's a notebook) to an Apple Store and have a "Mac Genius" show you. They'll do everything for you, free of charge.

    Oh man.. dead pixels suck. There's some people out there that say that you can download a program that flashes colors on the display or that you can just "massage" the pixel back but that stuff never worked for me.

    Not sure if Apple will take it back because I think that you'd need to have "multiple" dead pixels but it might be worth a try if it really bothers you.

    Dead pixels are black, and stuck pixels usually are Red, Green or Blue. There's no way to revive dead pixels; there have been reports that you can unstick stuck pixels using several methods.

    Try running the videos that Xander linked, and another reported solution is to lightly "massage" the screen where the stuck pixel is displaying. Also, sometimes the stuck pixel just becomes unstuck over time.

    If there's quite a lot of them, bring it to the Apple Store and express your frustration to the employees. They may replace the screen or replace your Mac.
