    This is odd to say the least.

    I opened my Thinkpad this morning and noticed a stuck pixel. It was blue at first. Then I ran somne programs and it changed to red and then white.

    I massaged it to try to get it to stop being "lazy" to no avail.

    Tried some free ware programs to try and wake it up. No dice.

    Here is a pic, camera phone thus the poor quality.

    It is to the right and up from the X in Firefox, pretty grainy so it hard to see the single white pixel on the blue strip.

    Then my mouse went over the single pixel at just the right spot and I noticed something really strange.

    When I try and control click or do anything else nothing changes the slider.

    Ran a Virus scan and it found some malware that got deleted. The pixel was there until I restarted and now it is gone.

    Looks like my issues may be over, but anyone ever seen this before?
