Just another technique that helped to me is spraying stucked pixels with cleaning kit for LCDs and then drying it off using massage with a cloth.

If your dead/stuck pixel is brand new(or even a few days old), use a new eraser(since they have sharper corners), and gently press the screen where the stuck pixel is, it has helped me nearly every time!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I tried the JScreenFix for about 20 minutes and saw no result, then decided to try the message method. I wrapped the eraser cap on a pencil with a lens cloth and gently rub the pixel (which is bright green) with the JScreenFix flashing in the background. After about a minute I moved the screen to check and saw the pixel blinking, then disappeared! I cannot believe it! Now I have a perfect monitor!

btw, I didn’t try to fix it, I did not rub any pixel.
it’s just leaking, like ink on a napkin.
and it’s definitely dead. I can see the black stain even with the computer off.

Hi,
I noticed a splotch of dead pixels in my HP G60 last night. It was a little bigger than the head of a pin with a thin line dropping. Then I started to think it was getting bigger, so I marked where it was with one of the desktop icons. Then I started to watch Dexter, when the episode ended, the line that was dropping was like an inch bigger! So I got mad and turned off the laptop thinking it would prevent more damage. It wasn’t that bad, I have a 16″ screen, and it was about 1″ into de left side, it would probably be on top of the photoshop tools, thus not interfering with the images. But this afteroon I turned it on again to get some stuff I wanted to watch on my other pc and it was even bigger! it’s thicker now, and almost 3″ long!!! what’s wrong? How did this happen? I was reading about it and I haven’t heard anyone say they spread like this! it’s leaking! And I do not have warranty! it was purchased in another country! I can’t return it! I’ll yell at HP, but I think i’m screwed anyway. Is there a way to stop it from spreading? turning it off didn’t seem to help at all.

Help me, please!
thanks!

On my 27″ iMac, there is a pixel that is red on white background and black on blue background and pink on grey background, which fits into your description of problem you had.

Did you get it fixed as in “replacing the whole screen” or “fixing that one sub-pixel”?

This is my 3rd iMac exchanged (first one: dead pixel + screen flickering), (second one: dust underneath the glass and a dead pixel).. now one stupid pixel that does not show correct color =/

Thanks,

If none of the advice given in my article cures your pixel, call the shop and tell them about the problem and that you would like to return the screen and receive an exchange.

You should call in advance to be sure what the terms are, whether they will attempt to send it in for repair and to make sure they have a copy to exchange.

When you pick up the new/fixed monitor, insist that you can test it in store before you leave.

Maybe you’re lucky and they will offer something to make up for the inconvenience

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
