Black dot on notebook display

[etownguy]

Hello everyone,

I just bought a HP notebook and there is a black dot on the screen, are this dead pixels?

TIA for feedback!

If it doesn't wipe off, then yeah, most likely a dead pixel.

[etownguy]

nope, can't wipe it off...but the dot is the size of a ladybug, so I'm assuming multiple dead pixels on one spot?

[newbuilder14]

More than likely unfortunately. I'd return the notebook.

:mad:

Will it get worse with time? I'm leaving for a couple of weeks if not more first thing tomorrow morning.

another thing, the "specs" say 1024MB or Ram but when I look under system it only says 896MB!!!...any ideas?

Thanks

You have onboard video using 128mb shared ram.

thanks glc, that makes sense.

to my knowledge laptop sceens come with a warranty of 1 year. my friend tried to get hers replaced cause she had 3 dead pixels in 3 months (unlucky). when she went back to Acer they said she needed 7 to get it replaced (more unlucky)

you should be able to replace it once you get back.
