Hi,

I dropped my handset two days ago from about 2ft height(yeah that low) onto a tiled floor.. I instantly checked for any damage and found none.
That night, I found a large number of dead/stuck pixels on the center of the screen.

I tried running the "Dead Pixel Detect and Fix"android app.. But it did'nt fix the issue.

Yesterday I noticed that may of the dead pixels are growing into big horizontal lines. :(

I have checked almost all forums related to this issue,but no one had such a large number of dead pixels.
And some lucky people have said that their issue got self healed!
Also some people have mentioned about keeping the phone in a freezer.. I dont know if it is good/bad for the phone...

All this things happened just two weeks after the warranty expired.
:crying:

Is this a common problem for atrix??Because I have read too many forums with nearly similar problems for atrix.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Same thing happened to me. The freezer technique solved it for me (remember to take out the battery and sd card and put the phone in an airtight bag). Dry the phone for at least a couple of hours after taking it out of the freezer.

Mmmm... "Freezer technique" is new for me. I was using the phone regularly, and after 2-3 months the dead pixels were vanished...

I had the exact problem with my Atrix 2. Took about 5 to 6 weeks with the phone is standby mode most of the time for the stuck pixels to completely vanish. All I would say is have patience.

    Take out the battery and put the phone in an airtight packet. Then put it in the freezer for 2-3 hours. Same has happened with me twice. Don't worry! :laugh:

    I became a victim today after dropping my phone but just some black dots but no lines so far and quite negligible but am not sure if it is going to worsen with use or if inversely self heal with passing of time. Will wait and watch. Query is for freezer technique isn't condensation a major fear of spoiling the phone after bringing it out of freezer section (not fridge) to room temperature??. Need advice from people who have done this. Thanks!

    I am the OP(with those massive dead pixals :p )..My phone currently dosnt have a single dot :)

    If you have lesser than 20 dots then I recommend that you wait for one day and check if it reduces or increases. But in most cases it increases and those dots starts to become small lines which will eventually become a big line connecting both ends of the screen.

    If you are going to put the phone in the freezer then, this is what i did to solve that issue:-

    0) Remove the battries,simcard,memory card from the phone,(DO NOT keep these things in the freezer )
    1) Wrap your phone in one layer of tissue paper.
    2) Put it in a Air-tight zipper bag(try to minimize the amount of air inside the zipper)
    3) Put it in the freezer for about 5-8hours..(if you have more dots then u will have to keep it longer)
    4) After that, take out the entire package and do not open the zipper for atleast one hour(This is to avoid condensation)
    5) Now slowly open the zipper and take the phone out.(but do not switch it on for atleast half hour) (If you want to be extra careful,then u can keep it in sunlight for some time.)
    6) You are done. It is unlikely,but if you still have any dots then repeat it again.

    Hope it helped.

    Better do it yourself. And my screen is perfectly fine after freezing.

    Just leave your phone there for a week... if it doesn't work leave it more time (the more time you could spare your phone in the freezer the better).
    ... also remember not to open the plastic bag when taking it out of the freezer... let it rest at room temperature form some time (20 minutes) before opening the bag.
    It just works :highfive:
