Full Version: Another Stuck Pixel Fixer
Console Spot Forums > News Zone > Latest PSP News

If your LCD screen has a stuck pixel, it's usually stuck because the liquid in the liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) has not covered the whole screen. This can be easily fixed.

Steps

1. Turn off your PSP or Computer.
2. Get yourself a damp cloth, so that you don't scratch your screen.
3. Apply pressure to the area where the stuck pixel is. Do not put pressure anywhere else, as this may make more stuck pixels.
4. While applying pressure, turn on your PSP or 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.

Tips

Many people report success with this technique but these instructions won't work in every case.
These instructions will fix "stuck" pixels, not "dead" ones. Dead pixels appear black while stuck pixels can be one constant color like red, green or blue.
An alternative, but similar technique involves gently massaging the stuck pixel on your screen.

Do not attempt to open the monitor as it might void the warranty and the manufacturer will not replace it.

Sounds Scary.

Massaging anything can be hairy.
I have a couple of stuck pixels but I don't think I am going to try something that may actually make it worse (more stuck pixels).

Hmm i also have 4 white pixels so im not sure if they are dead or not... not sure if this method would fix it though!!

still its worth a try i guess, i dont see how you cant really damaged your screen unless ur a complete ass..

must be the same when you press a laptop screen and the liquid warps the screen... it reverts bacl to its original state.

dont crack ur screens!!

I think I can live with one stuck pixel at the top of my 19 inch LCD.

P.s. Mine is pink. Only white colors make it go away.

SO far I've been lucky... my PSP had no problems except for the scratch in the screen I got no ore than 24 hours after I bought it... and it was in the pouch case!... and I was 12 hours from buying the screen protectors....

and none of my 6 LCD are having any trouble either
