    I got a Fujitsu A3130 in my possession right now. It's too bad as the screen itself is gorgeous. It's got the 450 nit CrystalView screen, that Fujitsu isn't offering any more I think. It has a red stuck pixel in the lower left quadrant. I been running flashing the screen for a few hours, but that hasn't seemed to help. Anyone got any other brilliant ideas? I tried tapping the screen, but didn't work either. Thanks for any help.

    Have you tried tapping it gently with a q-tip

    I did tap the screen, just not with a Q-tip. Why is a Q-tip better than a finger? Thanks for the reply.

    You could try massage the screen with an appropriate technique.

    Be careful how though, I once broke an LCD screen of a computer in the library because of this..

    I got one unstuck by gentle massage with my finger.
