FIX: PSP Stuck Pixel Fixer

[TechZ]

- Do you have any dead pixels on your PSP? (http://www.driverheaven.net/showpost.php?p=622415&postcount=69) The only real thing you can do is set this video to repeat (http://www.psp-vault.com/modules.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=355) and leave it on for a few hours.

excerpt:

Do you have any dead pixels on your PSP? Really pissed about it? Had given up hope on having them work? Well, fret not, cuz I scoped this out on PSP Vault, and for the love of Hesus, 60% of the time it works for people. Check it out:

"Most people have been complaining to Sony about their stuck and dead pixels. Well I have done my research and I heard about a guy over at psphacks.net that had a LCD TV that had some stuck pixels and when he went to Best-Buy they gave him a dvd that flashed Red, Green and Blue over and over again. This supposedly "un-sticks" the stuck pixels, by calling them to do rapid changes (To my understanding). So I thought about it for a while, and I said, what the heck, I'll try it. So I made my own video that does this, and it works!

..wish you'd bought bought the 'other one' !!! :thumbs2: .. Nintendo fixes DS with one bad pixel (http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000507022865)

Setting an example for any manufacturer that sells anything with an LCD screen on it, Nintendo is actually following through on its promises, and is repairing or replacing any new DS portable game console with even a single dead pixel (most manufacturers won’t offer a replacement or repair unless there is a minimum of three or four dead pixels). Even more amazing, some people are reporting that it only took a warranty fulfillment center four days to repair and return their DS to them.

btw .. my conclusion on 'pixel recovery' is that there's a lot of urban myth surrounding ways you can fix 'em ! .. Would the 'above' not just occur anyway through 'normal' usage ? ;)

methinks that's one of my rhethorical question thingees as a btw on the btw :D

But how long would it take under normal usage? And its the first time I've heard of this technique to fix lcd screens. Its good to know for future instances.

If you play games .. not long ;) - say a week ? I dunno really, but I've come accross it happening - pixels magically reappearing during excessive fragging ! :thumbs2: - seems to me the principle is the same ?

Dead pixels are generally just that, dead, & stay that way, but methinks so called 'hot pixels' or 'stuck' ones might be influenced by rapid changes to all of the screen, seems to be the case at least some times :) ..

So I'd say the Driverheaven.net Admin has made a good call with his edit, now all we need to find is a pc version to post up ..

I've had stuck pixels once on my LCD (a 3yr old Viewsonic VX500), all I had to do was turn it off/on and the one red dot was gone forever :D.
