Hi all,
a few days ago I noticed my iPhone 5 has a weird pixel. At first I thought it's stuck/dead, but then I noticed the pixel changes colour depending on the colour of surroundings. How to fix this ? It annoys me a little bit...but I am not sure about replacing it as I'd have to un-jailbreak and I am a little scared they will give me some refurbished phone maybe with scratches (my iPhone is scratch-free) etc...
I would be happier if I could fix it myself as it doesn't look like I will deal with it.

In attachment you can see the red pixel (I hope it's visible - the red dot in the black part of the screen) when I opened the red background and in the second picture (the one with fingers) you can see I made the picture smaller and the pixel disappeared.

I think the pixel can show any color (black, white, grey, red, green blue...) btw.
