increasing dead pixels on a laptop

Ayaz · 11-08-2008, 10:35 PM

Does anyone know of a way to INCREASE the amount of dead pixels on a laptop lcd screen. We have 1 dead pixel (black dot) as opposed to a stuck pixel. We need another 3 i beleive before it will be repaired.

ha ha, no sorry. I'm not sure deliberately breaking your screen is the way to go here!

You could try dropping it a few times

Give it to the most clueless member of staff you have?

I think they already have

lol

(sorry couldn't resist it)

The reason they will not repair it with 1 dead pixel is it is not broken!

The amount of dead pixels allowed is set out in the snappingly titled ISO 13406-2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_13406-2

These are only guidelines, to see how each Manufacturer has set the limit
