Hello,

I currently have an HP EliteBook 8740w notebook with DreamColor screen. AFAIK, the DreamColor screen is an e-IPS panel. The problem is I've discovered a red stuck pixel on the left side. It's tiny but visible on a black background. This screen is 17" in size with an 16:10 aspect ratio.

I've tried massaging the pixel with a pen (turning the display on and off), applying presure with my fingers on the area near to the pixel, and of course, programs with quick flashing colors, like Undead Pixel, PixelRepairer... with no luck so far.

Is that red stuck pixel fixable? Is harder to fix stuck pixels on an IPS panel than on a TN panel?

Thank you very much in advance.
 
Please help. I'm out of my 30-day return window and I'm afraid HP won't exchange the screen for another one.

Any tip?

Thanks :(
 
If you've tried everything, you may be screwed. Some stuck pixels are just stubborn (Basically, every single damn one that I've ever had).

You better try going to HP anyway.
 
Thank you for your reply.

Do you have or have had any IPS panel with this problem? Do you think is harder to fix stuck pixels on IPS panels rather than TN ones? I think this screen is ISO Class II, so I cannot demand a new screen so far.
