Fix a stuck pixel on an LCD monitor

Step 1 Materials

There are three different methods that I know on how to fix a stuck pixel. Here are the materials you will need for each.

1st method, flashing different colors rapidly:
JSScreenfix.com has a great tool. This is their free java applet or you can download it below.

2nd method, applying pressure to pixel:
Damp paper towel
Small stylus or dull pencil. (I used an odd looking stylus from a board game)

3rd method, tapping the pixel:
Pen with cover on or another small, blunt object. (I used the back of the same stylus)

You have a mac though so i doubt that would work for it. I am not familiar with macs

You're talking about the bash file idea that you posted before right? If anyone wants I'll post how to do it with macs. PS: I'll put your bash file idea in the Instructable.

I'm curious about having that done on a mac. it would be very interesting =)

I think that it would be easiest to do it in Quartzcomposer. I think that making a shell script would be harder than just making an app or something that included a Quartz composer animation.

lol What is a quartzcomposer?

[Einsteins Circuitry]

It is an application that allows you to make animations and other graphical things using the Quartz engine that is in mac OSX.

Alright Thanks =) I have gained new knowledge on macs

You could also go onto Notepad in windows and then create a batch file. ex. :A @color 0f @color f0 @goto A
