    Firts of all, if i didn't post in the right place i'm sorry...i.m new to this forum. I have a Toshiba Tecra A7 - 108 and i think i have a display problem, i'm not sure. So this is how the problem sounds : i have some small stainds on my screen, i can barely see them ( they can be seen only on light colors, like grey ,light blue etc.). It's not a driver problem, because i have the problem also when i enter BIOS, nor a video card problem, because, when i move the image, the stainds keep the same position. It seems that there is somethig between the protective screen and the lcd itself.
    I want to know if this a problem or if this is how notebook lcd screens are suppose to be!
    Thx for your help

    Either it was a stuck pixel or a stain, stain do happen on rare occasion. 2 of my B&O phone got this problem (stain on the display), took it to the dealer and said that they can clean it if i want, but dont wanting them opening my (then) brand new phone i declined, as it is only small and does not bother me much. anyway, IF IT IS A STAIN, i wouldn't live with it if it was on a notebook, if it is, RETURN IT TO THE PLACE WHERE U BOUGHT IT immediately.

    hmmm, you might need to go to the place where u bought it and ask for replacement. the screen should not have any "staining"
