LCD FRU Replacement Notice
The TFT LCD for the notebook computer contains
over 2,359,296 thin-film transistors (TFTs). A small
number of missing, discolored, or lighted dots (on all

excessive pixel problems can cause viewing concerns.

discolored, or lighted dots in any background is:
SVGA (12.1"): 5 or more bright dots, 5 or more
dark dots, or a total of 9 or more bright and dark
dots

dark dots, or a total of 9 or more bright and dark
