I just notice a dead pixel on my T-30 thinkpad. Is that a sign for more dead pixels down the road, if so, is there a remedy for this?

I don't believe it's a sign of more. I think it's just an unlucky, possibly one time thing. There isn't much of a remedy, besides a replacement.

Make sure it's an actual dead pixel. If you have the ultra nav thingie, click the middle button with the blue line on it a few times. See if it goes away.

Also, you can try rubbing on the dead pixel with a cloth. Apparently that can sometimes fix it if it's "stuck" but not dead. I've never seen it work though.

Good luck.

Actually I just restarted the computer, and the "dead pixel" is gone...

Whatever happened its good that its gone.

If it was bright white, and it happens again. Click the middle trackpoint button. It will probably make it go away.

I have two "dead" pixels on my t40, one is red and onother is blu, but the strange thing is thet when I go whit the cursor underneath it it is not visible, or now when I'm writing this post the dead pixeals are not visible.
