Dead pixel remover

<< < (2/3) > >>

Soader03:
No, the video failed to fix my screen. I searched on Wikipedia and yes, I think next time I will take apart my gigabeat, I will massage the screen.

Chronon:
These techniques will not fix a dead pixel -- only a frozen one.  And if you want to massage your Gigabeat I think you can safely apply some stress to the screen by pressing on the window with your finger.  At least I can cause visible color shifts in the vicinity of my finger by applying moderate pressure to it.

This topic now seems more appropriate for General Discussion, doesn't it?

Mad Cow:
I never even though about a video, that's a much better idea, but a video won't loop for a long time. I want to have it loop for a long time, because I've read that they usually only work after an hour or so.

EDIT: Currently running the video, I found a strange problem with the video rendering though. The colours don't actually flash uniformly , they make a weird pattern. I'm guessing this is because of slow LCD update code. If I pause it it shows a solid colour.

There already is a plugin which cycles colours.  It's called "plasma".

You'll probably want to set the Backlight setting to On to keep the display active.

Chronon:
The backlight shouldn't affect much.  It's the electrodes switching the state of the LCD that is the important thing.
