600m has dead pixel. $!#($!(^$!(@&

1) Take a qtip
2) With the qtip gently "push" on the screen where the dead pixel is.
3) Repeat until the pixel is unstuck (If it's still stuck after 10 or so times, then I doubt it'll work)
Don't push too hard. You don't want to crack the screen. Some people have had success with the pixel becoming "unstuck".

I had never heard of this. I am curious to try this on my laptop.

Can you even see the dead pixels if you aren't looking for them with a flashlight and a magnifying glass?
wtf. obviously you can see it. one test is create a new powerpoint document, and slide show it (all white) if u see black dots then DEAD pixels.
mine is when i use IE, the blue bar on the top-left is light blue-white.. so i can see 2 black vertical pixels BLACK. so what can it be other than DEAD PIXEL... geez
i think it is covered by manufacturers warranty even if you dont have complete care.
but ive searched dells tech support forum and i found that you must have at least 10 DEAD pixels before they are replaced. this is Samsung's LCD warranty policy (i think only for laptops or depending on the size/resolution) but the guy at the forum that was asking had 600m too and he even called tech support only to be told the same thing.

Don't bother it rarely works. It will only scuff your panel.
Get it exchanged if it's in the 30 day return period or if it's not too bothersome just live with it, it's not uncommon but I do agree it is dissappointing.
i have a 600m as well.. when i got it, it had 0 dead pixels.. checked it with black, white, red, blue, green and yellow screens..
i left my laptop on the whole day today..with the screen on, under a/c.. when i came on..reboot.. a sub dead pixel, lit blue, on the left corner.. wtf..
does dead pixels just pop outta no where or what.

As for that rubbing on the dead pixel deal, it does work. I have tried numerous times on my Powerbook. I do not use a q-tip to rub it, I use my screen protector that I purchased for my latop from ShaggyMac.
However, it only works if the dead pixel is one of the bright ones, the colored ones. If it is grey, then you really have a DEAD pixel.
Just massage it lightly clockwise until it gets unstuck. Works like a charm.
Good luck with the screen.

I'm not sure how long you have had it, But if its within the 30 day mark or you have some kinda warranty im sure you could get them to swap out your computer. I had my 5100 swapped out three times before i got one without dead pixels.
Just tell them, there is a huge amount of dead pixels and let them know that you have to have a computer for work or something. I did that and they overnighted me a new laptop on 3 different occcasions until i got a good one. If you say i have 2 dead pixels they will automatically say thats below the limit. But if you say a huge amount or something like that they cant say much to you. I doubt they care anyway. Just thought i would let you know what i did. Good luck with it!

Had something similar to this on my Samsung monitor. Got it and it was perfect. After about a month, it developed 2 stuck pixels. Both blue. They only get stuck when black is displayed.
Other than that, the monitor is still working perfectly. I didn't bother with exchanging it for another one as I got a good deal on this monitor and it doesn't bother me much.

Ah - I have a big spot in the center of my 600Ms screen with probably 25+ dead/damaged pixels. I have to wait till the summer to have it fixed though since I can't go without a computer during the school year.
