well they aren't stuck pixels or dead pixels and they only appear in where there's black or dark areas and i don't wanna spend more money
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Which model MacBook Pro exactly?
macbook mid 2011 unibody 15 inch screen
You have a bad GPU on the logic board.
Make appt. with Apple for diagnostic / repair. If same diagnosis (very likely) it would be a costly repair you might not consider in place of a newer macbook.
so there's absolutely nothing i can do about it.?
i might just get an external monitor.
If PlotinusVeritas is correct, that may not solve the probelm.
But it is worth a try. You will know right away because the red snow will show up on the other display as well.
okay, so i tried an external display my friend let me borrow, it shows up perfect on the external display, no red snow whatsoever. so what exactly is causing it.?

Process of elimination complete, mostly, ...... now youve isolated it to either the lvds monitor cable or the monitor itself,
.....however there STILL could be a damaged connection AT the logic board (meaning still, bad logic) between the cable male connector and the female on the logic, however if forced to estimate (since I dont have the computer in hand) which it is, id assume cable and/monitor.
If you get away with a bad cable its cheap, monitor or logic (due to bad connector) certainly not so.
Make appt with Apple for diagnostic and full isolation of source.
alright, will do. thank you so much!
there are red pixels known as "red snow" in dark areas on my macbook pro
