LCD FRU Replacement Notice
The TFT LCD for the computer contains many
thin-film transistors (TFTs). A small number of
missing, discolored, or lighted dots (on all the time)
is characteristic of TFT LCD technology, but
excessive pixel problems can cause viewing
concerns. The LCD should be replaced if the
number of missing, discolored, or lighted dots in any
background is:
v XGA : 8 or more bright dots, 8 or more dark dots,
or a total of 9 or more bright and dark dots.
