can somebody pls advise me!! i'm frantically worried.
thanks

Take it back and exchange it. No doubt if it bothers you its a problem. Insist on a new machine, don't accept a repair.

I just bought my macbook pro 2 days ago and have a dead pixel in black right in an annoying place. They want 10% which comes to $200 to return it . If it was on the sides i wouldn't care but it towards the middle.

how common is this problem anyway? i'm afraid that if i exchange it, its going to have the same problem again.

They will exchange it for free..... Demand it. No-way should you have to pay 200 to return a faulty machine.
