:confused:

Hello, i just got my new 15 inch powerbook, everything is nice and dandy, except the screen. when ever something is highlighted, or is dark there is a bunch of red pixels that are there, and it is rather annoying... any suggestions?????

Mine went away on it's own, in a few days. Others have also suggested massaging the pixels - read one of the posts on this page -

Best of luck with that!! Also if you have more than a few (undefined) stuck pixels, apple should replace it.

If you go to the nearest store within 5 days of purchase, apparently they are authorized to replace the unit. I read this on some other thread.

Best of luck!!

hmm, i dont think i was too clear, it is not dead pixels, it is probably a graphics card problem, to clear things up, my pixels are find, well i dont know how to explain very well. ok here i will try:

where ever there is dark shades, i get red pixels, they are not dead or stuck because when i move it around they go with the shadows. for exaample in the dock. the system prefs icon looks fine, then when oi click on it and it gets dark, i turns all red..

my d-key isn't working as well as the others, it takes more effort to make it actually work, so maybe its a problem in general, hmmmmmm
