Bought a new smartphone or want to check on the old smartphone matrix display? In this program you can test your LCD screen for the presence of dead / broken pixels and repair it. You can detect any stuck or dead pixel on your LCD screen.
If you detect any stuck or dead pixels you will be able to try to cure them. Provide easy way to fix the stuck pixel. The program will try to use different means for the treatment of stuck pixels. Also works for screen burn-in. Start and wait on the smartphone or tablet this app until the dead pixel or stuck pixel has been repaired or unstuck.
Dead pixel is stuck point or several points of the matrix screen, which does not properly reflect the color. Sometimes they are almost invisible, and you can be the owner of them without even noticing it. There are several treatments for dead pixels screen. Mechanical - physical impact directly on the affected area and a soft-that and it has me. We strongly recommend not to use the first method is for advanced users, as it is dangerous for the screen matrix.
The program can repair: Partial sub-pixel defects, Stuck sub-pixels, Dead or Broken (bad) pixels, Stuck versus dead pixels, Dark dot defects, Bright dot defects, phantoms (matrix burnup).
If within a few hours of program works the pixels is not revived, so they can not be brought back to life in this way - contact the service center. Fix your screen with this programm.

A dead pixel can be a huge pain, whether it"s on your smartphone, desktop monitor, or laptop. Fortunately, even though a dead pixel isn"t a great sign of monitor health, there are ways you can sometimes bring that pixel back to life.
If your device is no longer under warranty or you don’t want to take it to a professional, don’t despair. Here"s how to fix a dead pixel in just a few steps.
Step 3: Let the JScreenFix app run for at least 30 minutes. Drag the white noise window to where your stuck or dead pixel is located, and then let it run for half an hour. JScreenFix claims it can repair most stuck pixels in under 10 minutes, but giving it plenty of time to work never hurts. Try using it several times if the first run wasn’t successful.
Keep in mind that this method uses both HTML5 and JavaScript and may work with LCD or OLED screens. If it doesn’t work, though, you could always try one of the platform-specific tools below.
PixelHealer is an entirely free application from Aurelitec that fixes pixel problems. It’s compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. Once downloaded, PixelHealer will present you with a colored box window and a settings menu. It is important to note, though, that users who are sensitive to flashing images should not look directly at the box/app window, because as the app runs, the window will then flash multiple colors in quick succession.
PixelHealer is more likely to work on a stuck pixel that shows signs of life than a dead pixel, which may stay unresponsive, but there’s a chance it can fix both, so give this dead pixel fix a try regardless of how your wounded pixel is behaving.
With such a straightforward name, you know that Dead Pixels Test and Fix (DPTF) is a quick and easy dead pixel fix for locating and potentially repairing dead or stuck pixels. It’s a free app and features an interface that is both self-explanatory and easy to navigate. DPTF assumes the same process as its competitor apps, using a series of solid color blank-outs on your screen to reveal damaged pixels.
The developers recommend that you let DPTF run for at least 10 minutes to fix all of the pixels, but we had better results when we left it running for a couple of hours so it had time to fix all of the dead pixels. You’re going to need to have a full battery or your device connected to a power source while you execute this tool.

Knowing how to fix dead pixels is a good skill to know. If you’ve noticed unusual spots on your display, you might be dealing with stuck or dead pixels. Fortunately, these pixels are usually harmless and can be detected using special pixel tests.
Dead and stuck pixels can appear on LCD screens of all kinds. This includes monitors, phones, and camera displays. It’s easier to spot them on larger displays, though.
If you’re using a camera, carefully look at your LCD display as you take photos. Are there any spots that stay in the same place no matter how much you move your camera? Those spots are dead or stuck pixels.
There’s a distinct difference between stuck and dead pixels. If you’re completely sure that the pixels on your screen aren’t dust, you need to identify them.
Stuck pixels are usually red, green, blue, or yellow. Dead pixels are black. No matter how much your screen changes, those pixels will remain fixed in one spot and won’t change their color.
Keep in mind that stuck pixels can also be black or very dark in color. You might accidentally mistake them for dead pixels. To make sure that they’re not dead, you need to use a dead pixel test. More on this later.
Stuck pixels are much easier to remove than dead pixels. If you’re sure that there’s a dead pixel on your screen, you’ll probably have to hire a specialist or replace your display.
Here are a few simple websites that let you check for dead pixels using solid colors. They basically do the same thing, but one of them might be more compatible with your device/browser than the other.
You need to be in full-screen mode. Make sure you wipe your screen beforehand so that you don’t accidentally mistake a speck of dust for a dead pixel!
Click on each color. If you don’t notice any unusual spots (black or any other color) on your screen, it’s likely that you don’t have an issue with dead or stuck pixels.
Some users recommend rubbing a dead pixel using a cloth to get rid of it. This might work temporarily, but it will damage your display in the long run.
Too much rubbing can damage even more pixels on your screen and lead to serious problems. If none of the solutions work, the best way out is to contact a specialist.
As mentioned previously, dead pixels are usually impossible to remove without professional help. However, you need to make sure that those dead pixels aren’t secretly stuck pixels or simply dust particles.
This is a very simple and seemingly straightforward method. But it might be the best solution to your problem. If your screen appears glitchy, it might simply need to be refreshed.
Use a screen-cleaning spray and a cloth to wipe your display. Make sure you don’t apply too much pressure or else you might damage your screen. A few gentle swipes might get rid of the problem.
If the options above don’t work, JScreenFix might be your best solution. This is a website that anyone can use for free. You don’t need to download any programs or extensions to use it. Best of all, it promises to remove stuck pixels in less than 10 minutes.
What JScreenFix does is fix stuck pixels. If you think you have a dead pixel, you can try this method as well. For this to work effectively, you need to know where exactly your stuck pixels are located.
Your job is to find the stuck pixel and drag the box to it. Leave it there for a few minutes. This should get rid of any unusual pixels on your display.
If you’re sure that the pixel is dead (and not stuck), then you’ll need to see a specialist. There are a few methods for fixing dead pixels, but most of them don’t seem to work effectively.
No. More often than not, stuck pixels are temporary. You might have to try a few methods to remove them. There are a couple of programs that promise to remove stuck pixels quite easily.
Dead pixels usually don’t spread. They’re usually a small fault in a display. If they do spread, you might need to hire a specialist or replace your screen.
Make sure you clean your display, take a dead pixel test, and use JScreenFix to get rid of the pixels. It’s likely that this will fix the problem and prevent you from consulting a specialist.

If you suspect you have one, but you aren"t sure, investigate more closely with tools like the Dead Pixels Test or CheckPixels.com. These programs often display solid colors on the entire screen, allowing your eyes to more easily pick out pixels that aren"t functioning properly.
Dead pixels can"t be fixed in most cases, but you can sometimes revive those pixels. We have a few solutions for you to try before you send your device out for repairs.
Dead pixels are not the same as stuck pixels. These pixels look almost the same, but there"s an important distinction. A dead pixel won"t turn on, whereas a stuck pixel is permanently on. Since it"s permanently on, it typically appears as a bright, persistent dot on the screen, and is either red, green, blue, or white. If a problematic pixel is dead, it should look like a small black rectangle.
The most common cause of dead pixels is a manufacturing defect. Undetectably small errors in assembly can result in a handful of dead pixels among the millions of functional ones.
It may go away on its own, but there"s no telling how long it will take. You might have the dead pixel for the remainder of the device"s life, or it might go away in a week.
Many manufacturers have warranties that cover dead pixels, so check your device"s warranty to see if this situation applies to you. Most display manufacturers require a minimum number of dead pixels before the screen can be replaced.
You can examine the dead pixel policies of Acer, Apple, Dell, LG, and Samsung, but the best source is always the device"s specific warranty documents.
There isn"t a lot you can do to fix dead pixels; most people tend to buy a new tablet, computer, or TV when pixels start going bad. If you"re not comfortable with replacing the screen yourself (most people aren"t), then the next step is to find a local repair shop if your device is no longer under warranty or break out the wallet.
By and large, dead pixels are considered to be fairly normal when it comes to LCD displays—for example, Dell says dead pixels are not uncommon. And the larger the screen, the less likely we are to notice a few dead pixels among thousands of active ones.
Everyone has their own opinion on what they consider "acceptable" when it comes to dead pixels, but generally it depends on whether or not you even notice them in the first place. But generally speaking, anywhere from one to five inactive pixels is considered okay according to industry standards.

It"s also possible that being a more value-oriented screen, that they might get somewhat lower-grade panels than go into the higher-end models, which may have lower defect rates. Some higher-end screens actually have warranties covering dead-pixels for some time after purchase.
There are some methods that can potentially be used to potentially get a stuck pixel working again, though I"m not sure what sort of success rate they might have. Some involve physically applying pressure to that part of the screen, while others use a software utility to rapidly flash the pixel on and off for some time.

Having already tried to fix the problem, I haven"t had any luck. I contacted support on the same day I received the device asking for a replacement. I"ve received a reply telling that this is an anomaly all LCD screens are potentially subject to. An app to fix the issue was suggested, or I was told I could still return the device if I wasn"t happy with the quality of the OPO.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your suggestion, but had tried that very app last night with no luck. I am relatively knowledgeable about dead pixels and understand that these are white dead pixels that show on every colour screen, indicating that the pixel is fried.
I"ll be honest, having spent ~480 dollars to get the device, I don"t think it"s reasonable to offer a refund without offering to replace the hardware. Having Googled the policies of many different phone companies regarding dead pixels, if there is a sufficient amount they offer a replacement or repair. Having demonstrated to you that there is a minimum of 6 dead pixels (especially in such a close radius of one another) I would ask that I have the device replaced, especially considering this was a defect out of the box and I contacted you on the day I received the device.
I find myself referencing the OPO catchphrase, Never Settle. While I understand all LCD screens are subject to potential defects, I believe strongly this is grounds for a hardware replacement. Had it been 1 or 2 dead pixels spread apart I would understand, but this is at least 6 dead pixels all within 1cm of screen real-estate. It compromises the use of an amazing device. I don"t think it"s fair to "Settle" with a sub-par screen OR no device at all. To quote your own warranty statement outlined on the website...

Slowly drag your finger to the bottom right corner without lifting. Try to move your finger slowly enough that you can count to 10 before reaching the opposite corner of the screen.
Under your Pixel 5 phone’s screen, at the top center, you can see a white dot. This white dot is your proximity sensor. When your proximity sensor is on, the dot shows through the display. The dot can blink or stay solid.
Your proximity sensor keeps your phone’s screen off while you hold your phone near your face during a call, when your screen is locked, and when used by certain apps. Keeping the screen off helps save battery and avoid accidental taps on the screen.
All Pixel phones have proximity sensors. Because the Pixel 5’s display goes almost to the edge, you can see the Pixel 5’s sensor under the screen. Check our Pixel 5 phone diagram.

Just the other day my R5 developed a bright, stuck pixel on the top right corner of the LCD screen. From doing some research, this sometimes happens and is expected on some screens in mass production. I"ve never encountered it before on any device I"ve owned, especially not a new one.
It"s of course minor, and thankfully in the corner of the screen, yet it"s a bit displeasing to have on a new, expensive product. Any suggestions on what to do about it? I appreciate it.

It"s a stuck pixel, not a dead one. It"s constantly on white when I look at it perpendicularly. When I shift my field of view at an angle, I can see the various sub pixel colors, red, green, blue. I"ll try to give it a gentle massage.
I"m hoping Canon would replace the screen under their 1-year included warranty. I"ll look into it, after giving it a further gentle massage as you suggest.
Do you think Canon would cover a screen replacement under their included 1-year warranty? I"ll give them a call and ask. Hopefully customer service is supportive and can replace just the rear LCD to remedy it, instead of the whole camera.
But the camera cannot read-back the content of the display. How should it get feedback from the display as to which pixels are currently on or not? And, if it is defective, how should the pixel be switched off because it doesn"t seem to work anymore?

I understand what you’re saying and it doesn’t maybe make sense but it worked in my R. It can’t hurt anything to try it or you can avoid trying it because you’d worry your theory would be wrong. My stuck pixels were”apparently” in the display not my sensor but it worked.
Where do you think the evf gets its information. Oh wait, it’s the sensor. So if the Sensor has stuck pixels then that is what the evf sees. Does that make sense now?
Thanks for the information and advice Juppeck, as well as everyone else. You"re right, this should be remedied by a qualified professional as I"d rather not damage it myself, and I"d rather not have it on a beloved, very expensive new purchase. I just called Canon"s customer service and they told me just send it in whenever, they"ll run some reprogramming software on the screen to try to fix it, and that it is, of course, covered under the 1 year warranty. Hearing this makes me feel much better!
No it doesn"t. If a pixel on the sensor is defective, the camera can detect this. The principle behind this is that the sensor takes an image of the reference image and compares it with the reference and recognizes the differences. The reference image is the completely covered sensor - that is, absolute black. If the recorded image contains other pixel colors than black, these must be defective and the camera will hide them in the images in the future.
I therefore think that it was a defective pixel of the sensor or it is a contact error. i would just watch if it happen again. If not, then just forget it, there is no need to think about an issue ,that no longer occurs. is it actually still an issue?

According to the R5 manual, 0.01% is expected and is normal according to Canon. I noticed several stuck red pixels in the EVF and one red on the rear LCD when I happened to notice it when the camera was turned on with the lens cap on (wasn"t even particularly looking for them).
Anyone with an R5 interested in taking an information poll? ie - leave your lens cap on, turn on the camera and see if you can see stuck pixels in the EVF of rear LCD?

As practice shows, it is the stuck pixel vs dead pixel that often appear in gadgets. However, there is good news. You can fix these defects! But first, you need to learn to distinguish between two of these issues and find out the root of them to find the right solution. Let"s talk about that in our article!
First, let’s find out what is a pixel. This is a small object, usually rectangular, that contains three subpixels. They are painted in red, green, and blue colors. It’s pixels that make up full-fledged pictures, photos, and videos on smartphones, tablets, and laptop screens. But over time when actively using the gadget, there is a common occurrence, a stuck pixel.
What does a stuck pixel look like? It appears as a dot in the same place and has one particular color: red, green, or blue. There can also be a combination of these colors. This dot typically doesn’t move, but can sometimes flicker.
Why do they appear and how to fix stuck pixels on a phone or another gadget? The matter is that they always receive power. And when it receives incomplete information, it becomes defective, i.e., is displayed in only one of three colors.
The dead pixel, unlike the stuck pixel, doesn’t receive power for all its subpixels, causing them to be off. So, what does a dead pixel look like? Look attentively at the screen. Are you seeing a persistent small rectangle of black or white color? This is a dead pixel.
At first glare, it may seem that stuck and dead pixels are almost the same thing. But, in fact, they are quite different. Below, we’ll explain why exactly:Appearance and color. The stuck pixel looks like one dot of a particular (green, red, or blue) color all the time in the same place. It can also appear as a group of dots. If to consider what does dead pixel looks like, we see that it has a rectangle shape white or black color.
Power. The stuck pixel continuously receives energy, so it has a certain color if you turned on your gadget. The dead at the same time is off, moreover permanently. That’s why you see a black dot on the screen of the smartphone or other device.
Rare or common phenomenon. The stuck pixel is a quite common problem that most often occurs among old monitors and those that you have not used for a long time. Can dead pixels spread regularly? They rarely appear on sensors and digital liquid crystal cameras.
Possibility of fixing. The advantage of the stuck pixels is that they might disappear over time by themselves and are easily fixed. The dead are never fixed. But you can revive them.
Sometimes it’s very difficult to detect the presence of dead or stuck pixels on new screens. But there are several ways, that will help you with this. If you suspect that your camera has defected with pixels, you can carry out testing right here. There are two effective methods:Test on camera LCD. Set Program/Auto or Aperture Priority mode, then turn on Live View. After these settings, point the camera lens at something bright. It could be the sky or green grass. Move the camera to the right, left, up, or down. If you’ll notice a small dot in the same place, the defective pixel is in front of you. You already know what colors are dead pixels. So, it wouldn"t be difficult for you to determine exactly what the problem is in front of you.
Test the camera sensor. First, set ISO 100 or 200, then take several photos with different colors and patterns. Carefully view them on your computer at 100% view size. Do you see how one pixel that stands out from the others appears in the same place? This is a defect we speak about.
It"s the simplest option that can test the presence of the issue, by making the screen a single color. By going to the main page, you’ll see dead pixel examples. Carefully remember them. And before starting to clean the screen with a soft cloth. But do it very gently so as not to damage the surface.
Then click on Start Test. You’ll see a black test screen in front of you. If you want to check another screen color, just press “Space”. You also can click the left mouse button. Thus, you can check the presence of the dead pixels on also the white, red, green, and blue colors. Small dots indicate defects. At the same time, clean color means that all right. Press “Esc” to stop the test process. If at the beginning of the process you could not open full-screen mode, press F11.
This online tool is very useful because besides checking your monitor for defective pixels, it can test other things you must know, for example, pattern, color distances, gradients, sharpness, and so on, moreover into a single test window. And it’s interesting that with this tool you can also fix stuck pixels.
Using Eizo Monitor Test is one pleasure because you’ll find out about the availability of stuck or dead pixels on the phone or other gadget screen in a few minutes without much effort. All you need it’s to warm up your monitor and clean it with a soft cloth, as well as check all boxes you also plan to test and press the Start test button. First You’ll see a circle, the so-called test pattern, where you’ll test image quality. Use the menu on the left to check and switch from one solid color to another. You’ll see a short explanation of what you need to do and what you have to take into account bottom right. When you’ve checked all the necessary screens, press the ESC to exit.
If you’re looking for a powerful tool for thoroughly checking not only, red, blue, and green pixels on the phone screen, but also the quality of your screen, try Online Monitor Test. It has 4 different modes:A simplified HTML version that is suitable for checking smartphones, tablets, and Smart-TV.
Select one of them and then move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen, where you’ll see the menu. Click on the Homogeneity test point pound between red, green, blue, white, and black screens to test pixels. If you’ll not see anything besides the screen of one certain color, it means that everything is fine.
You’ve found out what do dead pixels look like and what is the difference between them. So, let’s consider, why these defects appear. There are many reasons. But we will tell about the most common among them:Overheating or overcooling. When you use your gadget near a hot battery or vice versa in a cold room or even on the street when frosty, it leads to the solidification of pixels and their immobility in the middle of liquid crystals.
Transistor failure. As practice shows, this occurs after voltage drops, resulting in a particular pixel doesn’t receive energy and becoming dead. Also, the transistor becomes damaged and thereby leads to defects due to static showing the same picture for a long time by the monitor.
So, how to fix stuck and dead pixels on phones or other gadgets on their own? After all, you don’t want to take your tool for repair and spend a lot of money on it. Let’s find out!
It is easy to fix stuck pixels because it’s a temporary problem. But you’ll have to tinker a bit with dead pixels. We suggest you familiarize yourself with several methods of fixing the defects that have already proven their effectiveness in the practice.
Sometimes, the issue appears, when you excessively use the gadget. In this case, you can try the safest option, which is suitable if you noticed stuck pixels. Just turn off the monitor and unplug it. Leave it in this condition for 24 hours. There is the possibility that after some rest, the issue will disappear by itself. But it could be later. It’s not really known how long it will take: a week, a month, or even a few years.
Programmers, realizing how annoying such defects are, have developed special software that can effectively solve them. All variants of such tools work on the same principle. The software aims to return the pixel to its usual state by reproducing a chaotic combination of red, green, and blue colors. It happens cyclically at a rate of 60 flashes per second. But kip in mind one important thing. If you suffer from epileptic seizures, this method isn’t for you because of the rapidly flashing lights in an erratic pattern.
Here are three of the most common pixel-fixing software:JScreenFix Online Tool. This free app helps you to solve the problem of stuck or dead pixels on a phone, laptop, tablet, or TV screen in 10 minutes. After to going it, click on the blue button with the inscription Launch JScreenFix. You’ll see a black screen and a square of flashing pixels in front of you. By switching to full-screen mode by pressing the green button, carefully look at the dark background and find the dead pixel vs stuck pixel. Then drag a square of flashing pixels right to it and leave it on for from 10 minutes to 1 hour. If it doesn’t work, try one more time. Do this after your gadget will rest one day. It’s worth noting that this app works only if the pixel is stuck. Do stuck pixels go away completely and forever? Not to the fullest extent. But it’s worth a try.
UndeadPixel. This Windows program helps to cope with dead pixels with one tool. The built-in stuck pixel locator detects the problem, and the main tool gives you a blinking dot. You just have to drag it to a dead pixel and wait 2 hours for the program to work.
PixelHealer. If you want to know how to fix dead pixels on a phone or laptop, this free app nice works on any gadget with both these issues. The program arranges the so-called shock therapy of pixels, enlivening them. How does it happen? Everything is simple. After you cover the defect with a small colored window and press on the Start Flashing button, the combination of black, white, and all main RGB colors will flash at a frantic pace. Before starting, you can set a desirable flashing interval and timer to close the program automatically. Using this app, don’t look at the screen for a long time, because prolonged eye contact with blinking can lead to dizziness.
If you’ve tried all of the above methods and the problem remained unchanged, use one last chance to fix pixels by yourselves. This is a direct impact on them with your hand. In some cases, this method of “treatment” really works. Just follow the next steps:First, find out where is the defective pixel and turn off the monitor.
Press on the pixel. Wrap your index finger with a piece of microfiber and press where the stuck or dead pixel is located, while turning on the monitor. But do it very delicately so as not to damage your screen. Don’t press on other places, as this may lead to even more issue dots. Hold the pixel with your finger for 10 minutes and then put it away. You also can use a pen cap, marker, the tip of a makeup brush, or another blunt narrow object instead of the finger. Warm is one more way to solve the defect. Put a hot washcloth in a hermetical bag and don’t press too hard to it on the defective area, but not more than a few seconds at a time.
You can combine this option with any of the tools which we talked about. But keep in mind that it’s somewhat risky. But why? The matter is that this method may cause permanent damage to the screen and void your warranty if it’s still valid.
You have already tried all independent methods of “treatment” of your screen, but the problem has not disappeared? You just have to accept it. Over time, you’ll get used to the issue pixel and will not notice it.
But if this force majeure situation occurred during the warranty period, you can take the gadget to the service center to replace the screen. You should consider that the manufacturer may refuse to do this. It will depend on what the warranty says. As a rule, the number of bright or dark pixels should range from 4 to 8.
Both dead pixels and stuck pixels on the phone, on the screen of your laptop, tablet, or TV can throw you off track, worsen your mood, and reduce the productivity of your work with photo content. But knowing their nature and applying all the methods we recommend, you have a chance to cope with this annoying problem. Of course, if you have a valid warranty, the best way is to use the help of a specialist. We hope, our article was useful for you.
