Just noticed this annoying dead pixel. Is there a way to fix it?

If the pixel is dead, it's dead.

some apps claim to fix dead pixels by flashing red blue and green quickly to un-stick it. its rare that it works, but its worth a shot, try to find a free dead pixel fixer on the market.

Right - but a dead pixel isn't a stuck pixel. If there is no power getting to it, no amount of flashing or rubbing etc with give it power. It's dead.

true, although they are sometimes referred to as the same thing, so i wanted to let him know regardless. (didnt see the pics) that, and if its broke, and its a free try at a fix, why not try it.

Ran the pixel fixer app over night. Didn't work. I read on the Internet if you put pressure on it with like an eraser or something it would fix it. But that seems dangerous....

well it was worth a shot, best bet is to ignore it. or at least try, trust me, i know how hard that can be.

As Gamma said, if it's dead, it's dead.

I've seen people put a lot of pressure on a display, so a little bit I think will not hurt it. But, you may wind up with more dead pixels also if you press too hard.
