Has anybody been able to fix a stuck pixel? If so, how? I got one that's stuck in green on my T22. I've heard a variety of solutions but I don't know how well they work.

I've had a number of stuck pixels on various LCD monitors, tried everything to unstick them(java applets, massaging the screen, etc.) and was never able to fix one. I'm sure it works sometime, just not for me. It's worth a shot to try and unstick the pixel(s).

I used Jscreenfix to fix a stuck pixel (white one) on my thinkpad, took about an hour.

I've had some results. The pixel is now much lower intensity, so it is less noticeable.

I will run Stuck Pixel Sweeper for a few hours.

jScreenfix doesn't work with IE. As for Udpix requires .NET framework. I try to install as little software as possible to keep things running speedy.
