John-
This is characteristic of Active Matrix LCDs. As I said in an earlier post,
each pixel is controlled by its own transistor. Sometimes a few of these transistors
will end up being defective, so you see a discolored pixel constantly on. If you
really want to get a new LCD, then I guess you could send it in for EZServ, but
you could save yourself and EZServ a lot of hassle by just keeping your machine.
One of the reasons that Active Matrix LCDs are so expensive is because it is hard to
get an LCD without defects in it. Most manafacturers have a limit on how many pixels
can be defective for it to be bad, but 2 sounds okay. Nevertheless, you LCD is still usable.
Hopefully this was insightfull and not too confusing.
