T43 lcd has bad pixelitis

#1 Post by fefland » Thu Feb 23, 2006 1:04 pm

My LCD originally had one stuck red pixel. Decided to keep it after the third try (first two had bad pixels as well). Thought I could live with the one. Well now I have two stuck pixels and about 15 grey pixels as well. I am really bumming since I use my T43 all day everyday. Oh well, good thing for warranties.

Send it in under the warranty, you are above the maximum allowed dead pixels for a SXGA+ LCD on a Thinkpad from IBM (I think the threshold is 11)

They shoud be able to replace the LCD. :)

Already have a call in. Service Rep top notch as usual. Hopefully my repair will be timely and well done.
