    So today at about 8:30 a Stuck Pixel showed up... I had never noticed it before, (even when my screen was all black at startup and stuff) but i was browsing a forum and boom there it was a single red spec on my monitor.

    it was definatly new... tried restarting and there it was all through the black screens at startup..

    so like... i got 1 red pixel on my screen ~ chances that it goes away by itself? I really cant afford to send this back in I am in school and need my laptop for work and stuff..

    what are my options.. I already tried that Jscreenfix program, also tried poking it gently and restarting obviously.. do these things ever just work themselves out or am i to be forever bothered by this tiny red dot.
