    I didn't put this in the FW owners thread because I'd like to get everyone's input.

    My FW arrived and the screen has 1 stuck pixel. I've tried several things and nothing has worked yet.

    Question - is it worth the time/risk to send it back? The rest of the machine is perfect, so I'm leary of sending it back across the country. And you can only see it when the screen is black.

    Thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated....thanks!

    One stuck pixel is nothing, I had 4 stuck pixels, tried to get them off but eventually they went away.

    Strange, your the second with one stuck pixel...

    One of our Medion laptops showed a blue pixel intead of black in the "lowest line" right in the middle - we never bothered with it and the laptop still works today.

    If that pixel is in the middle, in a place it causes problems, you may try replacing it, if its somewhere on the side, don't its not worth th bother.
    (Unless you are a perfectionist)
