weird pixel *PIC*

#1 Post by zahir » Fri May 25, 2007 4:40 am

check this picture out.... i have this weird white pixel that shows up on my desktop. its like a white dot as shown in the pic but its bothering me a lot. weird thing is that whn im on my desktop and i point the cursor to the pixel, the cursor scroll icon appears. This is the same icon that appears when you would scroll using ur touchpad....
its really weird. Is something wrong with my screen or is the pixel there for a reason?

Zahir, which model of ThinkPad do you have?

What size screen?

What OS are you running?

Are the drivers up to date?

Does this dead/stuck pixel show up when you are in the BIOS as well? If you haven't looked at it, please try it.

Lastly, as per the rules of the forum, in your subject please add a warning that this post displays an image.

Ill ask again for this to be stickied in the hotfixes and tweaks guide. This has to do with the ultranav driver. Hit the scroll button on the ultranav and it will disappear.
