Just take a shot with the lens cap on and view the picture on your pc for any bright spots.

The simple way to test for Dead or Stuck pixels is to use a pure white and a pure black card. Take a picture of each card under normal lighting conditions. If the pixel is dead it will show up on the picture of the white card as a black pixel. If the pixel is stuck, it will show up as a white pixel on the picture of the black card.
