Laptop "Screen" has a Single Bright Pixel

4.5

There is a tiny, glowing dot (usually red, green, or blue) that never goes away.

Symptoms
  • Bright dot
  • Stuck color
  • Distracting
Possible Causes
  • Stuck transistor in the LCD

Step-by-Step Fix

1

The "Massage" Method

Gently rub the pixel with a soft cloth and a blunt object (like a pen cap) while the screen is off.

2

Use a Pixel Fixer Website

Run a site that flashes colors rapidly in that area to "wake up" the pixel.

3

Check Warranty

Most manufacturers only replace screens if there are 3-5+ dead pixels.

When to See a Technician

A "stuck" pixel (colored) can often be fixed; a "dead" pixel (black) is usually permanent.
