Stuck is not dead.
JScreenFix is for fixing bright stuck pixels. A black pixel is usually a hardware failure and
may require warranty or panel repair, these are known as dead pixels.
Stuck pixel
A stuck pixel is a bright colored dot that stays on when the surrounding pixels change.
Stuck pixels are usually red, green or blue, but may also be yellow, cyan, magenta or white.
JScreenFix can fix many stuck pixels through rapid random color cycling of the pixel and its neighbors.
Dead pixel
A dead pixel is black because it does not light. Public repair guides note that software tools are much
less likely to revive a truly dead pixel.
Repair protocol.
Start with the display you want to treat, then confirm whether the fault is a bright stuck pixel before
running the fixer.
Phase 01
Select device type
Select the device so the best software method is used for the screen you are repairing.
Phase 02
Locate the pixel
On the selected screen, locate the bright stuck pixel on the black background.
Phase 03
Cover the pixel
Drag the fixer square until the stuck pixel sits inside the animated area. Fullscreen mode
can be used to fix pixels near the edges.
Phase 04
Wait a while
Leave the fixer running for at least 10 minutes.
Phase 05
Check and repeat
Inspect the pixel with the black background. If it is not fixed, repeat the fixing process.
If still not fixed after one hour, the pixel probably can not be fixed by JScreenFix. Sorry.

Defective pixels have different physical causes.

Standards
ISO 13406-2 defined display pixel fault classes.
The standard classified hot, dead, and stuck pixel faults by type, and was later revised into the ISO
9241 display standards.

Current classes
ISO 9241-302/303/305/307 replaced the older flat-panel standard.
The ISO 9241 overview summarizes current flat-panel display pixel-defect classes, including allowed
bright, dark and subpixel faults per million pixels.
