Default I got a MAC.... but it has a dead pixel.

I end up getting the 15.4", 2.33GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB Hard Drive, 256 graphics card machine.

However, it figures after I spend two hours setting it up and change my desktop background I notice that it has a dead pixel. I guess it will be going back tomorrow!

I guarantee they will dick me and send it out for repair and I'll have to wait like 2-week to get it instead of just replacing it.

If it takes you two hours to get a computer set up and to change the background, you got bigger issues than a dead pixel.


There are programs out there that flash all the pixels. Sometimes they aren't actually dead. Also try getting a pencil with a good eraser and 'massage' the pixel lightly. Sometimes it does work.

OK, than 'stuck' pixel. I don't care, when you pay $2300 for a system it should be error free.

But it's a MAC. They aren't meant to be turned on. They are just desk candy.
