wyantm06 Posted August 12, 2007 CID Share Posted August 12, 2007 Ok well I took back a Compaq laptop I bought like 3 months ago for having a burnt pixel. I then ended up seeing a Toshiba Satellite that I bought instead, now after 3 months I get a burnt pixel on this laptop. I am sick of it and I plan on doing nothing about it because I can't live without my laptop. Now my main question is, is there anyone else that is living with a burnt pixel? I just want to know if there is anyone else that is ignoring one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr0stbound Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 is burnt pixel the term for pixels that don't work. if it is, i also have one in my laptop. i don't bother much since it's only a small dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granpa Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah there are advantages to CRT after all. Yeah, no fried faeries. I do remember reading somewhere that there may be a few pixels in the screen that may not work, but I think this was for re manufactured ( could be seconds also).

Swimmer Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 There is really no reason for that to be happening other than poor quality parts. Of the 5 LCD panels that I have owned, only 1 has had a pixel problem.. That one was a samsung display the was taken care of by Samsung.

dlewis23 Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 wyantm06 you have to be doing some because this really doesn't happen anymore. epically on 2 laptops that you have had. Call up Toshiba on it. I have had god know how many laptops, and a ton of LCD monitors (4 new ones ever 4 - 6 months ) And i have never had this problem. If you do the whole touching thing on it this will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diehard Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 Are you sure its a Burnt pixel and NOT a stuck pixel Burnt pixels are very hard to do / get on LCD screens if its black then its dead and nothing can be done for it but replacing the screen if its a colour red or blue then its more likely a Stuck one then you could try a little program called Jscreenfix http://www.jscreenfix.com/deluxe.php if its green then more othen than not the manuacturer will say its in spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
