Dead / stuck pixels

[SneakyStuff]

I just got my inspiron e1505 and there is a black pixel about 3' from the top, 5' from the side. I did some research on google but people seem to use the terms stuck/on/dead different ways on different sites. Is it possible to get the type of pixel i described working at all? Or is it hopeless? I am a little bummed because of its position on the screen 🙁

You can try fixing it.

I recommend this to isolate the zone in which you're flashing the pixels: http://udpix.free.fr/

You can try 'massaging' it out (get a lint-free cloth and gently move in a circular motion around the pixel).

Chances are it's dead, though.

Does it show on all backgrounds/just white/just certain colours?

only visible on light backrounds really. About the massaging, does that work for dead and stuck pixels?
