Ok...so I wanted a laptop, I was going to go for the HP 530 But I got a Toshiba

Ok...I'm so annoyed because it has dirt under the screen or a dead pixel...just one and it is annoying You think I should return it for a HP? Or cope with it?

am afraid u cant return laptops if they have dead pixels Here in the UK we have the standard ISO 13406-2. Basically u need to have a certain amount of dead pixels before the screen is considered "defective". If u read yr Warranty card you get with the laptop it'll tell you how many dead pixels you need before u can return it. Alternativly you can download a pluggin for Firefox http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php that runs a program where all the pixels change colour constantly which mite remove yr "dead" pixel. u need to leave it running for a couple of hours at least. just leave it running while yr sleepin wud b the best idea. good luck m8!!!

Hehe but what if I don't tell them that the dead pixel is the prob? I think for Toshiba it's 5. I tried that thing, It's a video, tried it for 30mins and I turned it off

Thanks for the help though.

lol no probs if u really really wana break it just plug in a charger that has a higher voltage than yr laptop can take an that shud blow the mobo. but they mite not replace the whole laptop, they mite just replace the mobo.

Muhuhahaha, I'll use my brothers ride-on car charger....that will destroy it

Get the HP. HP in my opinion is so much better. Love my HP laptop. No problems with it.

See that's the thing, I wanted the HP but the stupid salesman is like..Toshiba is the best brand, and he brainwashed my parents into Toshiba so they bought it

Argh. Stupid salesman. I would have been like "Okay, shutup. Give me the HP dammit".

Lmao I was thinking that, I was thinking "Hurry up and f** off, I want that HP!!"

IMO Toshiba is the better brand here. They actually have good speakers (well, the satellite pro's do anyway) and look better than HP models.

Add to that the fact that some HP's are pretty notorious for overheating and theres a good enough reason to stay away from HP altogther.

Personally I have an Asus and haven't had any problems with it.

There was also this Acer one, same price, same specs but butt ugly So I stayed away from it.

HP's are not notorious for overheating. And HP has grown a lot recently past few years. Ive had my laptop for like 3 years and its still runs great.

If it wasn't for overheating, I would have got the Macbook PRO.

use one of those dead pixel video's. idk if that'd aid at all, but should.

Thanks, but I tried that man and no dice

if it really gets on yr nerves you could accidentally-on-purpose break it

Haha nah, then I have to re-package it and drive it all the way back, cant be bothered. It doesn't bother me that much, I'm fine with it.
