Just now i was cleaning my macbook pro's screen with the ipod touch screen cleaner and as i started to get the finger prints off i saw that there were tiny little holes in the screen. There was one which was about half the size of the sensor in the ipod touch and then there were like 4 extremely tiny ones. As i type this i can see the big one on the bottom of my screen. Is this normal or is it a screen problem?



this is what it looks like http://www.appledefects.com/wiki/ind...:MBP_Dot_2.jpg



except for me there's like 2 big ones like that and then there's a bunch of other smaller ones which aren't perfect circles.

    I got the thing a month ago for gods sake. If I get it fixed I better not have to pay.

    looks like either a dead or stuck pixel... seems to be pretty common (sadly) with LCD's. Apple replaced a MBP for me because it had several of them, but they made it seem like they were making an exception.



    We just ordered a new MBP for one of our staff and it came with one dead pixel in the upper middle of the screen, kind of a bummer...
