Is that a dead Pixel?

[yiomo]

I purchased yesterday a brand new Sony A73 for an upcoming event.

Today I checked the photos and I discovered a bright white dot on exactly the same place. Two of the photos I uploaded have been cropped, but the place is exactly the same on all of them.

Is that a dead pixel? If yes, will they give me a new camera or will I have to wait for the shop to send it for repair/service? The shop is the official Sony retailer in my country.

Thanks

Return or try to remap it using the date trick.

thanks scotch tape. got them to replace it. The only downside is since these are old cameras they both had completely depleted batteries.

Got the replacement and it has more dead pixels on the sensor.

Additionally the lcd has also dead pixels. 

What would you do?

Ok, I was about to go tomorrow morning to return the replacement camera as it showed the above red blue pixels on the lcd screen and the below 6-7 white pixels on the photos.

After several hours of shooting tests it seems that both the pixels on the lcd screen and on the photos have - for the moment- disappeared. 

How is that possible?

Is it not remapping dead pixels by itself after using it for a while?
