These gifs did not fix the red-only pixles, BUT! The rgb5.gif worked 100% to fix the flashing pixel, once I ran it for about 10 seconds and gently pushed on it - it's gone now! Not sure if pushing on a Cintiq actually does anything because of the hard screen covering, but the pixel went back to normal instantly after I did. Thank you!

Fired it up and KABLAMMOOO a blue pixel appeared in the top-middle of the screen. Believe me if you have got to work with 10" one stuck pixel is pretty anoying. I tried some online vids for it, also tried UDpix. But didn't help. So i've send it back. It came back from the company with a note "It's fixed", That's all it said (can you believe that). I fired it up yet again there my nemesis was, brilliantly shining on the top of my screen. I am gonna try your solution, hope it helps. But massaging the screen? Isn't that a little dangerous, don't want pressure points on it. Just rub it gently or what? Hey, just but myself a acer aspire netbook 10″.

I have a light blue pixel, that almost in the middle of the screen. I tried almost anything that`s on the internet. Sadly nothing worked. A funny thing though because I have a laptop when I turn it off sometimes I take the battery off. Once I did it and the next time I turned it on, the pixel was gone for maybe 10 - 12 hours. Now every time I do this, it happens the same thing all over again. Anyone experiencing a similar problem or knows a solution to it ( something not destructive :P )??? By the way from a friend of mine I heard that he had a red one stucked on his screen ( NOT A LCD), it stayed for moths there, visible only on black screen and suddenly out of nowhere it gone away. Someone had the same experience??? Is it possible for them to go away by some period of time? Hmmm.… I have a light blue pixel, that almost in the middle of the screen.

I purchased a brand new Dell Inspiron 1764 last week, fired it up today and bam - pixel dead centre stuck on green. Rubbed the screen very gently with my thumb and it flickered and went away. It would never have even crossed my mind to do this. Cheers! You genius. I purchased a brand new Dell Inspiron 1764 last week, fired it up today and bam — pixel dead centre stuck on green.
