Broken Pixel

[Isomerizer]

I have recently purchased a 22" ViewSonic monitor, as soon as I turned it on I noticed a broken bright lime green pixel.

I've tried various software such as JPixel and UDPixel, both unfortunately failed after running for 2 hours+. I've also tried such methods as applying pressure, screen reset, tapping, yet again none work.

Has anyone ran into the problem before, and has anyone succeeded in restoring a broken (not dead) pixel?

Any tips/methods would be appreciated.

I once had that problem with an older model, a 15" AOC lcd monitor. I have sucessfully been able to restore the monitor and get rid of a red dead pixel by just applying pressure, maybe not the best method, but it worked fine.

If you have recently bought it, I would see if you warranty doesn't cover it, if it does, maybe you can just send it back. Allthough, I think you need more as one dead pixel before they would take it back, but I'm not sure. You can always try?

How long did you apply pressure? And what did you use, your fingertip?

not long actually, I never really searched for any answers on it, I just tried and it worked. I just did it like this (|*|) thumb - pixel - thumb nails towards the inside so you could really put quite specific pressure. was it smart? probably not, could damage your screen too.
