Dead pixels on refurbs
Wondering if anyone has any experience with refurb Macs and Apple's policy regarding dead pixels. Just took my 24" reburn iMac out of the box. I've got a red dead pixel almost center screen (hard to ignore) and a cluster of 3 or 4 dead black pixels in the lower left corner with another single dead one next to the cluster.
I've purchased Apple Care - what's my chances of having Apple do something about this?
