    Is the funniest thing this, i've had stuck pixels on other devices and they've always remained there!

    This new Alienware of mine has 1 stuck pixel in red, and after he warms up a bit, he seems to function fine? How is a sub stuck pixel sub failing at sub ruining my screen, this sub stuck pixel keeps working :D (Which is making me happy) but why on earth would this strange anomoly occur? i thought once stuck, it'd stay stuck.

    Was working 100% when i got the unit now it keeps reactivating itself as i use the laptop. o_O

    Any thoughts?

    Cata.

    Yeah the pixel unstick problems fixed the first time! pressure and tap methods aren't working, its just unsticking when the display feels like, or heats up? is funny because the display functions 100% when its wide awake :D

    Atleast its not apermanent fault at the moment right? but i'd rather not use unstick tools daily. :)

    call and get an exchange while you still can. 99% that the stuck pixel will remain. considering you're posting means that this annoys you enough and will bug you in the future. either call for an exchange or tech to replace with new led.
