Two little dots appeared on the camera

I was taking a picture of someone, and it jsut so happened that a disco light (one that emits lazers.. new kind I guess) shined onto my camera lens. At the time I thought nothing of it, in fact, I didn't even notice, but now that I look at all my pictures AFTER that, its got two very teeny blue/green dots in the middle of every picture, in the same spot..

Is there a way I could get rid of that? or did I damage the light reading thingies inside the CCD camera.. I have no warrenty so I need to do SOMETHING..

Perhaps, try and revive the dead pixel by shining a lazer on it again? (Plz dont flame me, I know nothing of the internal mechanics of a CCD Camera, or a camera in general

)

P.S: Yes I did clean the lens..

Yeah, so here's a picture...

Its a roll of toilet paper.. had to resize drastically to get it to attach to this thread ...

I've come up with the conclusion that it is not a dead pixel, but something in the camera lens... But that's just as bad seeing as how I cant get rid of that either..

Those two dots are annoying the hell outta me, any experts on CCD here?

Its not gonna be there if you take pictures of green stuff... i kid i kid.

I remember reading about CCD and how that you aren't supposed to point the camera like to the sun or something like that because the heat is concentrated at that small spot in the lens. Basically it means that the sensor is burnt at that spot. Taking pictures of lasers isn't bad, but what it seems is that maybe it hit your camera directly, so that's bad for it. I thought the rule of thumb is that if it'll damage your eye, it'll damage a CCD sensor.

If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
