T400 WXGA+ TFT stuck pixel?

#1 Post by Guz » Sat Jan 23, 2010 1:48 pm

On my new T400 with a WXGA+ TFT, w/ LED Backlight display, from the day I received it, it has one stuck pixel. It is a bit irritating that is just left and down from dead center. It makes watching movies with dark scene's irritating that I always end up focusing on that one pixel.

Reading Lenovo's info on screen replacement that they will replace the screen only if there are 3 or more stuck pixels. Has anyone been able to talk Lenovo into replacing a screen with less than 3 stuck pixels?

Oh, I only have the 1 Year Depot Warranty, btw.

I assume you've tried the pixel unsticking tricks?

Flashing the screen rapidly or softly massaging the pixel with a towel?
