The most effective method to Troubleshoot a Dead Pixel ?
- Use your warranty
If you are within your display's warranty period and you have detected stuck or dead pixels, it's recommended that you have the manufacturer replace it.
Most monitor manufacturers have a return policy for dead and stuck pixels and they'll usually replace a monitor if it has more than several pixels stuck in a single color or brightness setting. Additionally, since dead pixels are difficult to fix, replacing your monitor via the manufacturer's warranty is your best route.
- JScreenFix
If your display is out of warranty and you'd rather try your luck at fixing stuck or even dead pixels yourself, then you'll be pleased to know that there are software tools available that can help you out.

- Last resort: Apply Pressure
If your monitor is out of warranty and none of the pixel fixing software methods are working for you, either you just learn to live with a few stuck or dead pixels here and there, or, if you're brave enough, here's a last-ditch method you can attempt.
First, take note of the location of the stuck or dead pixel. Then turn off your monitor and try applying gentle pressure on the affected area in an attempt to "massage" it back to life.
