Was pretty excited when it rolled in today off the UPS truck.
Got it all juiced up n' ready to go, then when I turned it on, bam...
One tiny red pixel almost in the center of the screen.
From what I've read online through some searches, it's a 'stuck' pixel not a 'dead' pixel, as dead pixels are often known to be black.
Which kinda' lifted my spirits, knowing that it was possibly fixable.
But I tried JScreenFix and trying UndeadPixel 2.1 right now, which isn't helping either.
Some of the video's recommended using a rounded tip instrument, such as a stylus to apply pressure over the pixel, etc... I don't really want to attempt anything like that unless I just have to, pretty paranoid about damaging the screen.

Question being, are there any 'known' tricks or softwares that I haven't tried, someone might know about and be willing to share?

Thank you, to anyone making an attempt to solve the problem.
