Hey listen, i just went through all of the websites trying to figure out how to get a stuck pixel off of my screen i had two a red one in the middle and a green one all the way at the top in the middle and what i read at this site was to apply a LOT of pressure on it and then after a couple of seconds turn the iphone on(while still applying pressure) i had to do this a couple of times and it worked!

I recently have a single stuck (red) pixel in the middle of the screen returning once in a while.
Mostly it gets stuck on some intense sessions of Street Fighter IV, but I guess that symptom is not limited to that special game.

Most of the time “gentle” pressure (don’t crack your screen, dudes) rubbing a bit above that pixel brings everything back to normal. (btw. this works on any other lcd screens, too).

If this happens to me, I immediately quit any running app, apply gentle pressure on that pixel while on the springboard. Most of the time the stuck pixel fades away after that. If not – I hard reset the iDevice (hold 10secs Home+Sleep) and power it back on.

These procedure has only failed me once, where I tried the Knox color fade app and fixed it that way.

Also: find the “pressure point” for your stuck pixel. Mine is not exactly above it but a bit to the left. Your milage may vary. Just don’t panic.

Another thing: for the peepz with speckles not related to stuck pixels: choose a white background and look at the screen from different sharp angles – if it seems the speckle is changing to a lighter color it is most likely a tiny scratch mark within the glass. Most likely those are just visible under a few certain conditions.
If they stay dark it may be indeed dust, but please refrain from taking your iDevice apart if you never done that before and you don’t know what you are doing, you will most likely damage other parts of your device. There are a lot of specialized service dealers that will do that for you for less than 25 bucks. If you don’t need spare parts they’ll clean/service your device for less than a stop at the gas station.

By any means: don’t panic!

Hey Guys,

Just Push your screen at that point , it will be ok, anyway this method worked for me and as Doug said this is probably some dust.
