ok i go a new hp dv2000, and theres a little dimspot on the bottom corner. i was wondering if thats normal with all laptops, and/or if i can return it and get a new one. But if i return it, is it...

Back-up all files on a dvd and take it back!!!

YOU SHOULD NOT PUT UP WITH IT!!!:hotbounce

Take it back!!!
Suppose to be perfect in everyway.. Unless you got this used, but you said no...

Take it back. It shouldn't be like that. File a complaint with the company.

please post in one forum only (the right one). This was already posted in another fourm.

According th this thread HERE those dim spots are sadly fairly normal with some HPs -

"I had a L2000 and now a V2312us and they both have slightly dim lower corners.
I don't think sending it back will fix ur problem, its a backlighting issue that exisits in all the l2000 and
v2000z's i have seen. (which is quite a few)"

Go to a local store,if you can and see if others have the same spots.

dimspot? ok - oh you mean dead pixels! Most laptop makers will warranty if your dead pixel rate is greater than 3. In any case this is not acceptable. There are dead pixel programs to try and coax dead pixels back into normal mode but they are not 100% guaranteed nor should you have to use them with a new system. I would return the laptop for a refund or replacement. If you bought it with a credit card, you have more recourse.
