Important
The LCD for the ThinkPad 701C contains over
921000 thin film transistors (TFTs). A small number
of missing, discolored, or lighted dots (on all the time)
is characteristic of TFT LCD technology, but excessive
pixel problems can cause viewing concerns. The LCD
should be replaced if the number of missing or
discolored, or lighted dots in any background is 21 or
more.
