WildKat Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 This may sound weird but I would like to create more dead pixels on my TFT screen somehow. This is just to ensure I get a new screen before my warranty expires, there is 2 dead ones already and I need 8 to get a new screen.Is there a software available that 'burns' into the pixels or similar??
gamehead200 Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Leave a still image on your screen without screensavers and the monitor shutting off!! Leave something really bright with lots of detail!
ThA_FiLeR Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 a dead pixel is some sort of crystal cell, when its dead its basicly b/c it has no voltage on that specif cell, so if somehow u can kill the power flow to one that would to the job, but I think thats impossible since theres so many and I dunno nothing about lcd's if u just wanna break, open it up and check power on on some circuits with one of those meters, then hook up a adjustable power supply and go up from the voltage it reads till the screen goes dead.. I have this in mind also for when im getting my lcd.. buy it, kill it just b4 the warranty expires...
gamehead200 Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Wouldn't that just void the warranty if there's a sticker on there or somethin?
WildKat Posted June 25, 2003 Author Posted June 25, 2003 Cant open it, itll definately void the warranty. I jus need to somehow kill a few more pixels. Sounds easy, but in practice its near impossible!
Flash Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Poke it REALLY hard... Did this on my one... Well a mate did, the bastard, lol...
Drewdatrip Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 I would just run more power through it then it can handle....that way they will just replace it with an entirly new one.=Drew
Aaron Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Drop the TFT to the floor. Something breaks. Give it back. Don't hold me responsible.
ThA_FiLeR Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 lol, drop it on the floor, might as well plug it in, stick it in a tub of water and enjoy the show...then just dry it and it'll look like new and not work.../Not responsible for electricutions, damages of any sort, nothing, so dont blame me.. lol

ThA_FiLeR Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 humm maybe even a few drops through the back would help destroy it... that wont be seen when they take it... many many ways of killin a monitor, water is the biggest enemy...

WildKat Posted June 26, 2003 Author Posted June 26, 2003 thanks for the help..... i'll post a pic of it hanging on a washing line!
SqueakyByte Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 just take a hammer, flip it around so the handling is facing your monitor, and jam it init'll make it jiggle like water and then burn outworked on my laptop TFT
