Last week I recived my laptop from ebay.
After a few days used, I noticed that the RGB screen got some flecks on it.
At first I though they were dust but when I tried to cleared it, it still stuck there.
Then I though it could be something stuck behind the screen cover.
I found the video in the forums intructed how to clear the dust behind the screen.
YouTube - Opening the screen of Dell's Studio XPS 1640
But I can not sure they were dust or dirty spot or dead pixes or something else.
so I am afraid I can not clear the flecks and make it worse.
I post some pics here, plz help me diagnose what they could be.

I dont want to call dell support because the current screen is fine (no flicker, color is great..) except the flecks, I had read some threads said that the replacements were not good...

Doesn't look bad pixels to me which leaves only a few options.
1) Contact the seller and get a partial refund assuming it came that way, then use it as is.
2) Open it up and clean it
3) If #2 doesn't work out, then contact Dell as your last resort. Have them swap the whole display unit assuming they have one in stock. -

If I'm right you're talking about removing the LCD glass with PCB attached to get under it to the diffusers.
If you even touch a diffuser like that without extremely clean gloves and in a dust free environment, its only going to make it worse.
Unless there is a protector over the LCD? -
Some flecks in my RGB screen...
