tim_ver Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I just got a new lcd panel and when I frist turn it on and boot up my pc I see a blue dot on the screen. But by the time the system boots up about a minute It goes away. Then when I reboot again (Restart) I see nothing but if I power down for a few hours then start the system back up it is there again.Is this a stuck pixel?? How do I fix this if it is?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig123 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Is this a stuck pixel?? How do I fix this if it is? It is called a dead pixelIf it is new, take it back and exchange it...If it isn't so new, you pretty much have to live with it, most manufacturers will not RMA a monitor unless is has 8 or more dead pixels.Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 It is called a dead pixelNo, what he has is a stuck pixel (the blue sub-pixel is stuck on). Dead pixels are completely different. If it were a dead pixel, it wouldn't go away after a few minutes.tim_ver, you can find some "stuck pixel fixer" programs with a quick google search. One such is JScreenFix.

twig123 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 My fault... must be the lack of sleep If it has a stuck pixel OOB, I still wouldn't trust it...I encounter these from time to time, I will try your suggested program next time I encounter one.

tim_ver Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks nmX.Memnoch. I went to the link but it wants me to buy the deluxe version. Is there a link to the basic to use for free or is this a buy only program? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Try this one:http://sourceforge.net/projects/stucksweepDownload the .jar file and it'll run full screen. You need the Java Runtime Environment installed for that to work.WARNING: Watching this for too long will likely give you a major headache. Just start it and leave it for a while.

tim_ver Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Ok, It has been running now for 25mins. So does it just stop when it is done? Or do I need to hit a key or something?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Well, just see if it helped. If not then let it run for a few hours and see if that helped . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntoMX Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 just hit [ESC]EDIT: Seems it´s not always stopping, so just use [CTRL]+[F4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yeah, I ended up opening Task Manager and killing the "javaw.exe" process after I hit Esc. So it's a little buggy...it should still do the job.JScreenFix used to be available as a .jar download as well (I still have it, but I'm not going to redistribute it since the author has taken it off of his site). It works a bit differently (it uses patterns instead of full screen color changes), but the end effect is still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ver Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Ok thanks, I run it from the website online and it runs full screen like you said. But I had it run for an hour and 20mins last night and then today in the AM when I turned on the monitor it was there still the tiny blue dot. When I booted the pc it went away in about 10 seconds so kinda seems to vanish quicker but it is still there. arghhh Shoul I run Jscreenfix again but for say 3 hours, or try something else???Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
