Revision as of 21:34, 28 May 2005
During the first day of work, it didn't strike me (even though I tried hard to check for pixel errors, but maybe I didn't have the right lighting) - but today on my 2nd day of use, I detected a blue pixel.
Questions
- Is this a reason to return the device or does it happen anyway sooner or later?
- Can there anything be done about it?
- What might have caused the pixel error? I believe there is a irregular spot surrounding the very pixel (like a puddle of water 1 cm in diameter) - but I certainly didn't put anything between screen and keyboard when closing.
