Dead pixels ressurected? Through a few of my favorite sites, I discovered that PSP-Vault has uploaded a video that allegedly unsticks stuck pixels – a problem that has plagued many a screen. My screen appears to be flawless, I'm happy to say. However, Ponzi's LCD screen has a single red dead pixel holdout to the right of top center. I thought I'd give 'er a spin, although I have no results to report – which doesn't truly constitute a failure. Stuck pixels are annoying, especially to perfectionists. The only time Ponzi notices the thing (stuckel? spuckel? stixel?) is when that general portion of her screen is darker, or she's not using one of her favorite wallpaper images in the background.

So far, it has worked around 60% of the time. I tried it on my friend's that had 6 stuck pixels, and it fixed them all. The only real thing you can do is set the video to repeat and leave it on for a few hours. In Version 2.0, I have added a white screen and a black screen, so you can periodically check to see if your pixels have been fixed. This video works with all versions of the PSP, from 1.00 to 1.52; good luck with it to all of you.

I've got the “stuck pixel fixer” video currently running in a QuickTime window (largely because I can't find the repeat function in Media Player Classic). Anybody else have a bit of unstuck luck with this dead pixel fix?
