KillDeadPixel : Fix Dead Pixels on your Screen

kaly — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:12:00 +0000

KillDeadPixel offers a quick and simple solution to fix dead screen pixels. Nothing to install or download. All you have to do is drag the provided graphic onto a dead pixel and let it stay there for about an hour. The graphic will try to fix it by rapidly changing nearby pixels. Although it won’t work for all cases, it does fix most of the broken pixels.

If the first method fails, there are two things you can still try:

1. Get a soft cloth and gently massage the dead pixel.
2. You can also try using a bigger (800×600 or 1024×768) graphic and leave it on the screen for about 12 hours.*

* IMPORTANT: When using a bigger graphic make sure to cover whole LCD screen with the black window. You can use the F11 button (Firefox, IE) to open browser in full screen mode and hide all the top bars. Leaving any status bar visible may harm the LCD screen.
