It's been around 4-5 months since i have bought my asus n55 sf...
And now i found 3 dead pixels on my screen... I think so bcoz they look like black spots whenever i turn on my laptop and don't go off even after cleaning the screen.

Any thing i can do ?? to prevent these dark spots on my screen... from what i have seen before they are called dead pixels.. help me please

it is in warranty. Contact the Service Center. They should fix it.

Only 3 pixels?

Different companies have different warranty policies! They specify minimum no. of dead pixels that would be covered under warranty. Check that out before walking into a service center.

check with the company, talk to them about your discomfort. They are the only ones who can help you in this situation, there is no artificial fix.

For Asus, the minimum number for replacement is 3 dead pixel.
Just last month my colleague' got his laptop screen replaced.
after registering the complaint, he got a call after 3 days, told him the screen had arrived. He gave the laptop next day and got it in evening.
My laptop has 1 dead pixel and two white pixel. :|

how does that tool help?? hmm.. i'm yet to take it to service centre, and since it's under warranty expecting to get its screen replaced without spending money..

i have used that tool to solve my dead pixels, actually it does help for stuck pixels.. i'm yet to see the results, ppl said use pencil eraser or finger with cloth to rub the lcd at bit to make it work but i don't think so it does.
