Suck it, stuck pixels
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008I’ve had my iMac less than a month, so I was understandably pissed when I found a stuck pixel this morning. Red, of all colours, and of course after I realized it was there I couldn’t focus on anything else.
Fortunately for me - Apple has a pretty arbitrary definition of what constitutes a warranty-covered pixel spooging - I came across this little bad boy. JScreenFix opens a window which cycles every pixel inside it; when placed over the offending pixel, it should dislodge it lickety-split. Instructions say 20 minutes, mine was gone in 5.
Incidentally, a stuck pixel is any pixel displaying a fixed colour. If it’s black, it’s dead, and you’re out of luck.
