I got a program called UDpixel but didnt do anything, it said that dead pixels are not fixable by software only stuck pixels are fixable. but dunno if theres something else.

It can be a stuck pixel, you can run Jscreenfix and give it a try..

Re: Bad or Dead pixel experiences :@

try this at your own risk to remove dead pixels :)



    1. Turn off your computer.
       2. Get yourself a damp cloth, so that you don't scratch your screen.
       3. Apply pressure to the area where the dead pixel is. Do not put pressure anywhere else, as this may make more dead pixels.
       4. While applying pressure, turn on your computer and screen.
       5. Remove pressure and the dead pixel should be gone. This works as the liquid in the liquid crystal has not spread into each little pixel. This liquid is used with the backlight on your monitor, allowing different amounts of light through which give off different colours.

run this for about 20 minutes to remove a stuck pixel

Try Jscreenfix first. If it does not work, then try what jad suggested. I have tried it on my phone's screen and it worked. Also, do not feel scared applying a little bit of pressure on the screen. You're not gonna break it if you're gentle. Treat it as a lady
