Hello,

Here is maybe the solution.

Scroll down or up with the trackpoint when you have a stuck pixel.

Thank you to report me if it works.

I have a T40 that have a stuck pixel red like you.

To unlock it you have to use the trackpoint mouse scroll (up or down).

The thing they are talking about is that somehow some of the IBM software has a bug with the trackpoint that makes a software generated pixel error appear.

When I received my IBM X41 it had one dead pixel to the right of the screen. (this was not due to some bug).
I had read somewhere that rubbing the area gently could case the red pixelerror to dissappear (it might just go black and die totally) and I was lucky that it started working correctly... no black dead pixeldot. I just rubbed it with my finger and a piece of cloth.

A few months later the pixelerror appeared again. I touched it very softly and it disappeared but came back after 1 hour or so.
Then I decided to take a woolen stick (those for cleaning ears and so) and rubbed in circles a bit more firmly in the area around and on the pixelerror. It disappeared and since then I haven't seen it.

But be careful... you can case even more pixel errors to appear if you are unlucky or not treating your screen gently enough.
Good luck with it.
