(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys,

As you have seen in my previous threads, i have been deciding whether to buy this laptop or that. In the end, I bought one good one! Its a toshiba.

Long story short, everythings perfect...except theres one dead pixel. No its not dead, its a stuck pixel based on my research, since its a very tiny red dot.

Is this bad? I know some software can fix it, but is it safe? Also, does the pressure applying method works?

Thanks so much guys

Edit: ANOTHER problem..but i guess this one's normal: i charged my laptop before i used it, 100%, it had a white light showing its full. When the battery meter was on 8% i decided not to fully discharge it. Is it really safe to fully discharge at 0%??

Why not ask for a new one?

Yeah, i think i can do that too. But thats my last option. Don't wanna go through all that store/complain process, reinstalling stuff..etc.

Surely my problems are normal for new laptops i assume? (The battery problem, yes, i think its just the fact that its new. I will maybe fully discharge it depending on the replies/advice of the forumers here. But the red pixel thing, sure its not a dead pixel, its just a stuck one, but its that that common for NEW products, considering the laptop is only 4 days old lol.

Haha, i guess i kinda answered my own question, but please, i'd really appreciate some sound advice.

-PS: I'd rep people who will help me, only teach me how to rep lolol.
Thanks

UPDATE:

MY BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED NOW!!! WOOO HOOOO. The light indicator is now white, but from 99% - 100% (power off) it took it around 30 minutes!!!!

THAT is still a problem. Should i still discharge, and is this really normal for some/most new laptops/batteries?

Okay so With my old shitty Netbook
half of my screen got frozen, I had to BIOS flash it and it worked fine. Just call them and I'm sure they will tell you to BIOS flash it.

Try a program called jscreenfix it has fixed pixels for me before could work for you

The battery issue is common for a lot of new computers. However I am not too sure about the pixel problem that you seem to be having.

OMG. Battery is fine now..but the pixel..
its still stuck. I tried to use a software, only briefly coz it does not seem to work.

I tried the massage thing, and the pen pointing method and applied pressure..didnt work..im afraid putting more pressure might break it more..

Honestly it takes a lot of luck I almost gave up on it then out of no where it fixed itself idk

Yeah Im with you. I cant see how a stuck pixel can be permanent. Unless its a dead pixel, but its not..so...

Im gonna try playing this link:
and at the same time pressing on the area, the comments of the people on the vid say it seemed to work.

-Warning the video might cause seizures!

I'll let you guys know what happens!

-ps, is it safe to press HARD on the laptop screen???
