Steve,

have you tried pushing it and letting the software run over it simultaneously and for an extended period of time?

I could imagine that some crystals were still stuck, although not causing a visible stuck pixel. Over time or while the TFT was turned off, they may have caused another block, which resulted in the stuck pixel to reappear.

Mind you, this is just my wild guessing! I’m not that kind of doctor.

You may just want to keep trying. However, if the TFT is covered by warranty, get it exchanged or fixed by a professional!

Hey Tina,

I tried everything and it worked from Monday until today. I haven’t seen the stuck pixel for 3 days but it came back again. I mean I can see sometimes but if I press the screen where the pixel is it disappears. So my question is: is the stuck pixel always going to be there just won’t be visiable?

Thank you very much

Steve

Brittany,

if it’s a new laptop and if you could not fix it with the help of my article, I suggest you simply ask for a replacement or repair of the laptop. Since the laptop is new, this should be free. But ask first!

Good luck!

Try running the screen saver 3-d pipes for a few seconds then click the cancel tab. Goes back to None, or the screen saver you used before…Works for me….

I’ve found that using a pencil eraser to rub the monitor works pretty well.

I had to take mine to Apple and get it fixed, if its still under warranty, they’ll do it for free, as you have so many they might do that for free, unless you have a windows computer, in which case I would send it off to get fixed

Hope this helps ^^

How did you get it fixed? I have several streaks on my LCD that behave the same way yours did. Guessing that it’s several thousand stuck sub pixels. I’ve tried all the methods described and nothing works.

TFT = Thin Film Transistor, as http://www.google.com/search?q=define:TFT will tell you.

Sounds like a stuck (or dead) red subpixel, a pixel is made of red, green, and blue subpixels. Our eyes contain cones that detect these wavelengths. Yellow is made of red + green.

Thank You for quick reply, I never expected anyone to respond to me! So thank you.

I’ve tried clean the screen and I don’t think I could see alcohol touch my screen (My laptop is very important to me lol) I’ve checked, its not a droplet of water, but good thinking! Oh whats TFT?

Hello Mercury,
I’m afraid I have no diagnosis for your pixel. Did you try to fix it as described above?
You may also try to clean your screen thoroughly with a damp cloth, maybe with alcohol. It could be a small droplet of liquid that dried on your screen and is causing this phenomena. Just an idea.
If that didn’t work you should get in touch with the manufacturer of the TFT. Maybe they can tell you what this strange behavior is caused by.
Good luck! And if you find out what it is, let us know!

I seem to have a confused pixel, it doesn’t seem dead (Never lighting up), it doesn’t seem stuck (Constantly one colour) but it changes colour depending on what colour background its on.

On a Red background its black, on a white its turquoise, blue is blue, yellow is green… I am really confused and so is the pixel,

Can Anyone help?!
