Dead Pixel 23"

[aminadab]

So, wishful thinking? I just bought a new 23 ACD and love it. One dead pixel in the top left corner, about five inches in. It's looks pink. I seem to think that my powerbook had a couple of these and went away eventually. Should I suck it up and deal with one dead? Or is there some magic trick that can make it come to life? Thanks.

Leave this on over night with loop in Quicktime in the area that the dead pixel is at.

Courtesy of Iatsor, he says about 75% of the time this works.

I have no idea or not if this works, just read it before hand on another thread.

Edit: Forgot to mention to change the prefix from .txt to .mov, do this by the get info in finder.

I tried this with the dead pixel on my iBook and it didn't work. Left it on overnight, it was still there in the morning. Maybe I should try doing it again but the iBook is a rev A G4 so I was never too concerned about one dead pixel. Hopefully you will have better luck than me.

Thanks for the help! I'm really in over my head and I hope I'm not asking annoying questions. When I open that link, all I get is a web page of text -- same if I right click it and download. Sorry for the hand holding!

Well it wont do anything for a dead pixel, it cant just make a dead pixel work again as its simply broken (for lack of a better term)... it gets rid of stuck pixels once in a while.

Ok, made it .mov and now it says QT cannot open because it doesn't understand. I opened it up as .txt and it played a "movie" of a bunch of text lines scrolling, is this what I want to put over the pixel? Do I need QT pro to make it work as a movie? Again, much thanks

Opps sorry my mistake, change the prefix as i said so that the .MP4 is the last prefix. so,

.MP4.mov or .MP4.txt to just the .MP4

Sorry again.

WOW, got it! I think it'll give my cat a seizure! Thank you very much.

sometimes gently rubbing the area resoloves a stuck pixel, dont press to hard though!
