Ok... I've had my thinkpad for a while now and this is the first problem that I have encountered... So I went out of town for a day and left my computer on my desk (T60P 2623DDU). I turned it on when I got back and there was a black spot.. by spot I mean like something that looks like a small 1cm antialiased line from photoshop.

It isnt a spot or something external to the monitor; it is something from within the monitor... Anyone have any ideas?

Is there after you restart? Try changing resolutions?

If it appears in different places it could be a defect in the video RAM. Which video chipset do you have and did you add some 3rd party RAM?

it started appearing in 2 different sections.. it is resolution independent, and even occurs in bios. It also does not happen on an external monitor. i think it's the screen.... am i really the only person seeing this problem?

Pictures of it would be good; optimized and linked to or warned about of course.

Either it is a problem with the LCD (probable) or with the video card (less probable than the former, but still possible in comparison).

Call, talk to service, they may need to replace the LCD or internal video components....
