| 725761 | 2008-12-04 07:09:00 | I've got one top left on this LCD. Its right in the corner. Its not that major, just wondering if its a dead or stuck pixel. I've read that using some program with flashing colours will make it disappear (I did try this it did go), but came back again. Should I take it back or keep it? Hmm it seems to come back every time I click on the mouse (when I go between a program / the desktop) |

| 725762 | 2008-12-04 07:44:00 | Dead pixels are usually black (called so because they don't turn on), so it'll be stuck. If it disappeared for a while and came back, it's stuck, as dead ones are never fixed. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 725763 | 2008-12-04 07:51:00 | ok, that doesnt sound too bad then. It'll probably disappear after a while Ta :) |

| 725765 | 2008-12-04 08:11:00 | This might be a silly question, but is it definitely a pixel on the screen itself and not your desktop? Sometimes certain programs or menus will leave a pixel behind on my wallpaper for some reason. Refreshing the wallpaper gets rid of it for me. I only asked because you mentioned going between a program and the desktop. |

| 725766 | 2008-12-04 08:12:00 | This (www.wikihow.com) might help I was there earlier I'm trying a program called UDPixel, when you run it, you can drag a flashing dot onto the pixel to kind of "wake it up". Some sites say it works after 20, maybe 30 mins I tried that Jscreenfix, the first time I tried it it went away, but doesnt stay away for good |

I only asked because you mentioned going between a program and the desktop. Its definitely the desktop, if I change the wallpaper to something else, its still there. It doesnt look like its permanent, since it does go away. I'll see if this UDPixel program kills it permanently |

| 725768 | 2008-12-04 08:53:00 | It should-I've tried it on quite a few PCs and its worked. Since it isn't permanent it should disappear...hopefully:D |
