MacBook Air small spots

I’ve found some small spots especially noticeable on a darker screen that apper blue/teal and I’m not sure how to fix it or if it’s it’s done and I’ll have to get it repaired

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

If they are very tiny and a solid color, those are stuck pixels. You don't repair them, you replace the screen and that's going to be quite expensive. But unless they're disruptive during normal operation, you'll likely be told to live with them.


Screen makers have stuck and dead pixel policies, and they deal with how many and where they are located. Generally if they are out of the normal field of view, or too few, nothing will be done. Clustered right in the center and greater than X number may get some attention.
