IBM Thinkpad jus got dead/stuck pixels

[+evenstar]

Sianx..my IBM laptop just had a dead/stuck pixel that is green in colour...dunno wad to do ....it only appears in when black/grey colours are at that spot. and IBM's webpage states that they'll only change the LCD if there're more than 11 dead pixels:cry: :cry: :cry:

massage the dead pixel. apply pressure on the spot when the screen is off and rub it while switching it on hopefully the pixel will work again

it works?!?! didn't know that...though i always thought that there'll be a way to save dead pixels

surebo? like tt can relive a dead pixel??

Kill another 10 pixels, and you can get it changed.

actually there's no diff. try finding for this prog, UDPixel. apparently it fixes stuck pixels. Yours could be stuck not dead

 

[+evenstar]

thanks, will try it out

apparently my that "green" dot appears only in blue, black and red areas

i tried the apply pressure and rub method b4, worked on a philips lcd once
but cant work for my eizo lcd.

wah! later apply a little bit more pressure until whole patch dead! lol. didnt know.

anyway i thought the replacement also depends on the resolution right?
