ahhh!!! my lcd mscreen on my laptop is having issues--i have a streaky line of dead or stuck pixels down the screen--its useable but I am wondering whether to try this program I read about, Dan's Dead Pixel Fixer....has anyone had any experience in fixing dead pixels ( black) as opposed to stuck ( red and green) on the monitor? I know I can replace the lcd monitor...but don't want to ( can't) spend the money at the moment to do it....so am wanting to try this program but am afraid of whether it might do further damage....the screen as is, its usable, and I can live with that for a few months until I have the money to replace the screen

OK, a few minutes into running the program. It flashes red and green lights at the stuck and dead pixels...and comes with warnings about not to run it if you have certain health conditions like epilepsy, I guess because of the flashing lights---well---so far---drum rolll---its working!!!! Some pixels have come back to life--the streaky line is smaller, and lets hope it keeps working---apparently for a big problem like mine it has to run for more than a few minutes, so am going to run it some more and see what happens!!! So far--so good!!!

Hmmm...well the dead pixel fixer fixed some things, and made the other streaky things more transparent, but they are still there. The good news is that the pixels in the streak are showing as green and blue, which means they are stuck, not dead. So it did not seem to damage the screen---and while its not totally fixed, it is better. Maybe I need to let the pixel fixer run overnight and see what that does.
