How to Fix a Stuck Pixel on an LCD Monitor

from wikiHow – The How to Manual That You Can Edit

If your LCD screen has a stuck or dead pixel (a point on the screen that is always lit or always dark), it is usually due to a transistor malfunction or uneven distribution of liquid in the liquid crystal display (TFT LCD). This can often be fixed.

Steps

Software Method

1. Try running pixel fixing software (see Sources and Citations). Stuck pixels can often be re-energized by rapidly turning them on and off. If this fails, complete the following steps.

Pressure Method

1. Turn off your computer’s monitor.
2. Get yourself a damp washcloth, so that you don’t scratch your screen.
3. Take a household pen, pencil, screwdriver, or some other sort of instrument with a focused, but relatively dull, point. A very good tool would be a PDA stylus.
4. Fold the washcloth to make sure you don’t accidentally puncture it and scratch the screen.
5. Apply pressure through the folded washcloth with the instrument to exactly where the stuck pixel is. Try not to put pressure anywhere else, as this may make more stuck pixels.
6. While applying pressure, turn on your computer and screen.
7. Remove pressure and the stuck 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 creates the different colors.

Tapping Method

1. Turn on the computer and LCD screen.
2. Display a black image, which will show the stuck pixel very clearly against the background. (It is very important that you are showing a black image and not just a blank signal, as you need the backlighting of the LCD to be illuminating the back of the panel).
3. Find a pen with a rounded end. A Sharpie marker with the cap on should be fine for this.
4. Use the rounded end of the pen to gently tap where the stuck pixel is – not too hard to start with, just enough to see a quick white glow under the point of contact. If you didn’t see a white glow, then you didn’t tap hard enough, so use just slightly more pressure this time.
5. Start tapping gently. Increase the pressure on the taps gradually for 5-10 taps until the pixel rights itself.
6. Display a white image (an empty text document is good for this) to verify that you haven’t accidentally caused more damage than you fixed.

Tips

• If the pressure and tapping don’t work directly on the stuck pixel, start moving outward around the stuck pixel. If you see the pixel flicker while doing this then you know where you can focus the pressure and tapping techniques rather than directly on the pixel.
• Many people report success with this technique but these instructions won’t work in every case. It may take a few attempts to make sure you are pressing exactly on the stuck pixel.
• These instructions will fix “stuck” pixels, not “dead” ones. Dead pixels appear black while stuck pixels can be one constant color like red, blue or green.
• An alternative, but similar technique involves gently massaging the stuck pixel with a warm damp (not wet) soft cloth.
• Alternative technique to tapping: Using a rounded pencil eraser, push with moderate pressure into screen at stuck pixel.
• If these instructions don’t work, you can hopefully get the monitor replaced through your manufacturer. If your monitor falls under the specifications of replacement, get in contact with the manufacturer to set up replacement plans.

Warnings

• Do not attempt to open the monitor as it will void the warranty and the manufacturer will not replace it.
• Make sure you don’t get any electrical equipment wet or it may break.
• Some people claim that touching the screen can cause more pixels to become stuck, although this has not been proven.
• LCD Displays are composed of multiple layers. Each layer is separated by very small glass spacers. These spacers and the individual layers are very delicate. Rubbing an LCD panel with a finger or even a cloth can cause the spacers to break and cause further issues beyond the original pixel fault. As such most repair technicians with service certifications are trained not to use the rub or tap methods – use them at your own risk.
• Most LCD manufacturer warranties for LCD displays will cover replacement of the panel when the display reaches a certain number of pixel anomalies. These warranties however generally will not cover damage caused by rubbing the screen so use extreme caution and contact the manufacturer before proceeding to see if you qualify for repair or replacement.

Yesterday, my wife have to use her car and my car still with my brother, so I decide to use our good public transports for works.

My journey is from KGB, Kuala Lumpur to office at Cyberjaya. Let’s do figure with table.

That was one way journey. If both way, total would be around 6 hours and cost me RM11.20.

In my normal life when using my car to works, it’s only take 1:30 to 2 hours for the whole journey and cost about RM20.00. Even I pay more for fuel and tolls, I still can save time. Time is important in my job as If I reach office late, I still have to work for 9 hours (including break). In this case I have to work until 7:00pm. Imagine what time I will reach home then.

Maybe my timing is bad and luck is not in my side yesterday. But I’m not going to lose another 3 hours of my time so I decide to call my brother to pick me up.

There is another bus that going straight to Cyberjaya from KLSentral but that was a cater bus and need to pay the fare in monthly basis. 3 cater bus left KL Sentral while I was waiting for normal bus. Cater bus journey only take 70 minutes to reach Cyberjaya (as mention in Cyberjaya website) and fee is RM200+ per month.

I have disable new comments entry in some of my post as too many comment spamming detected.

If this still happening, I will opt for user registration before can add comments.

Something that I don’t want to do actually.

Oficial 007 Website

Quantum of Solace continues the high octane adventures of James Bond in Casino Royale. Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M interrogate Mr White who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

Forensic intelligence links an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille, a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene, a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organization, Quantum.

On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the worlds most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano. Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land which is, however, a main source of the South American water supply. In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop Quantum getting its way.
