Advice on returning/exchanging T43 due to bad pixel

[fefland]

I realize that people have asked about this topic before. This is not about determining if pixel is bad, how to fix, etc. This is request for solutions to resolving a bad pixel and what others did to resolve the issue. So, if anyone had a bad pixel, and decided not to live with it, what did you do? I know I have the option of returning it and am aware of the bad pixel warranty. I am wondering what other options do I have. I really love my new laptop, but everytime I have a dark image on the screen, the bad always on red pixel stands out. At this point I may just learn to live with it since it was an EPP purchase and was not a $2500 p model. Even with the bad pixel it is probably better than a Dell.

Thanks in advance for any help.

How long have you been owning that laptop? Is that under 30 days?

If it's under 30 days, you can just call them and they will let you return it for no reason and you can order a new one.

I did that for my T42. I had to pay for the shipping, but when I ordered a new one, the price drops, so I ended up not losing any money.
