if its stuck, go here http://www.driverheaven.net/showpost.php?p=622415&postcount=69 download the PSP pixel remover, but run it in Quicktime in WIndows for like over night. hopefully it will come unstuck, i ran a similar one on my Pocket PC and it was cured

how can i run the video on a pc ?

Open up the video in QuickTime. Select the loop option. Press play. Also turn off your screen saver and disable the monitor power management.

This program did not work for me. I ran it over night.

Try massaging the area that the pixel is in gently with your finger.

will that actually work?

Yes, I've also heard that by massaging the pixel it will actually come back to life. It will not hurt the monitor at all if you try.

No joke, it may work.

i doubt it...but its worth a try

Just apply firm, but not so hard your monitor is going to just fall over, haha. I've never tried this, but I've always heard to give it a try.

I repaired 2 pixels on an LCD by massaging them, it works pretty well

Did it work, cell?

Heh, my bad, when you said it was worth a try I thought maybe you were going to do it as well.
