Dead Pixel =[

I have a SR290 which i purchase via sonystyle on 11/26/08, so after like 4 months i just realized that i have a dead pixel on my bottom right corner, is there anything i can do? Does my limited 1 year warranty covers this? It is so sad...

EDIT: wait...maybe i got confused ,i think i have a stuck pixel...i think its a dot on my screen that isnt going away, its not black either it like redish when i have a white page over it while over a black page its greyish i think

 

maybe try this

http://www.jscreenfix.com/

I think Sony requires 8 dead pixels before they will replace the screen

 

most companys have a pixel policy where they allow a certain amount of defect in the panel. you would have to look up sonys dead pixel policy to see. usually its like 3 or more so it doesnt look good. there is also different classes of panels

lol @ (8 dead pixel policy) no its like 3 or 4

 

/aw darn, i hope it is a stuck pixel, cause i think they are fixable right? with jscreenfix

 

I based it off here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=151947

In an article in 2005

I would go with the 5 out of all of these

Answers are everywhere but I would not go off ridiculing people without at least looking some stuff up

 

aw darn...how did i get so unlucky..
if i got a stuck and not a dead pixel, does it go away, cause i have been staring at it and it nots black, which is what the description of a dead pixel is

 

Try downloading and running jscreenfix like Euquility said.

 

does the process damage my screen, i got worried after i saw how flashy it was

 

I had a stuck red pixel on a Lenovo. Believe it or not, I fixed it by massaging the spot that had the stuck pixel. I read it some where and it worked.

 

that's too bad OP. But ONE dead pixel is not that unlucky. Dead pixel are pretty common.

For example Asus for some of their laptop have a zero deal pixel policy. which means if you even have one, they will replace the screen.

+1 for giving a massage, go easy with it though.

 

Hi.

Try tapping it softly with a q-tip.

John.

 

My 2yr old acer have lot of dead pixels. When I first found out about it, I couldn't help but kept staring at it and it really pissed me off, but there is nothing i can do about it so I tried to ignore it. Now i got used to it

 

Haha, i m totally in that phase right now, i keep looking at it every 5 mins or so. but luckyly its on the bottom right corner near the edge, so i dont see it all the time when i m web browsing or typing a doc. I guess i will try the q tip massage, sounds a but safer i guess, thanks john

 

do stuck pixels eventually turn into dead pixels?

 

Have you tried the 2 suggestion yet?, i.e., massage it or tap it?

 

no not yet but i will soon this weekend when i have more time.

 

Jeez, you come here crying about the problem, people here told you exactly what to do to try to fix it, you go back and forth asking all kinds of questions taking up everyone's time when it takes less than 5 minutes to try the fixes suggested. You're not willing to spend 5 minutes of your own time to try out the suggestions but you're willing to waste others' time by posting one message after another.

Some people...
