    This is weird, but when I use software to try to locate this white pixel, it disappears when I make the software display a completely black image on the screen.

    here's a picture I took cause it doesn't show in a screenshot.
    It's right above malwarebytes in the left corner. the white dot.

    That actually looks like a small cluster of them. The Sager warranty will cover it if there are 5 which it looks like, but I cant be sure by looking at that picture.

    I'd contact your reseller to look into getting a RMA set up for the screen.

    Man, that's the last thing I want to do, anyone know any way to fix it without resorting to RMA?

    Looks like one stuck pixel to me. I'd paint it over with black nail polish. ;) j/k

    If it is stuck and not dead (unlikely), use something with a dull point and poke at it a few times. I get a blue stuck pixel from time to time (dumb thing doesn't want to die!) and I just poke it with my 3DS stylus and it'll go away for 12 hours to a week lol.

    I tried that, but nothing happens. It also doesn't help that its right in the corner and almost impossible to poke without really ing the screen up. I got a ipad stylus thats spongy and it didn't do anything. Man I hate doing RMAs..
