I bought a new macbook pro 15" 2.2GHz model from the apple nz store last july, and recently i noticed a number of dead/stuck/white pixels appearing on the screen. There is a cluster of what appears to be grey stuck pixels on the left hand side of the screen and a single(maybe two togther) white pixel on the right hand side by where the window resize handle ususally sits. Has anyone else come across this problem? It seems quite significant as the patch on the left is a good 10-15 stuck ones. As far as I am aware there has been no unecessary pressure applied to the area/it hasnt been wet etc and I have tried several stuck pixel removers (java apps that flash different colours on the screen really really fast) to no avail.

Also when trying to burn a dual layer DVD the other day a message told me the lazer couldnt power up the the required level, even though the drive supports burning of dual layer discs. All of this on a macbook less than a year old.

Any Ideas?
