I was surprised to see something appear in my laptop screen from nowhere.
Its very frustrating! has anyone had this problem? Can I get rid of this?


Its a XPS 1530 WXGA+ screen. Here are some pics.

Its hard to tell for sure but it looks a bit like dead/stuck pixels. There are some utilities that can flash a bunch of colors real fast on the screen trying to unstick them. There is also some people that have reported success with shutting the screen off, then lightly massaging the area when you bring the screen back up. Beyond that though you don't really have many or any options.

Do the pixels actually change colors? It looks like they might in that first pic, but it may just be bleed over on the digital camera's picture and jpg compression. If they do change colors, the pixels aren't dead or stuck and I really don't know what to tell you then.
 
I don't want to download your 21Meg Video file

Also here's a free server http://savefile.com/upload.php
That is better than Rapidshare :suspiciou

If the above program doesn't help
And if SNGX1275 advice on lightly tapping the screen doesn't help

Then here are your choices:
1. Put up with it, or turn the brightness down to not notice it as much
2. Replace the screen

That's it.
 
Turning the brightness down will make it show alot more on a white backgound.

It looks more like dirt between the LCD and the backlight. If I put my mouse cursor over it (the black sides on a white background) I can still see it if I look at it from the sides.

Its very frustrating. I had something like this on my inspiron so I took the lcd apart. grrrrr.

I guess Ill have to live with this untill i have the money to burn for a new one. :(

uploaded to youtube but the qualty isnt that good:
