Dead Pixel on 4 week old Mac Book

Hi Lads,
Just wondering what ye'd do in this case?
It doesn't bother me too much and I'm thinking the hassle behind backcing up my stuff sending it back and waiting for a new one would be too much??
Thanks
Gary

not sure you'll get a new one, most companies have pixel policies, and 1 is not nearly enough

Try tapping it gently with your knuckles a few times -- often sorts it out.

Well for future reference Apples Pixel Policy is 5 minimum. But that changes if you take it out of the box and there is some gone.

Its a fair bit more complicated than that. It goes on 5 in a square inch, or 7 in total, AFAIR.Doesn't matter whether its out of the box or not, unless you want to avail of the 14 day change your mind policy from AppleStore. They won't DOA an LCD screen for less than the above rules or repair/replace one under warranty, again under the above system.
