Troubleshooting & Technical Questions
Why is the stuck pixel still there after using this?
Some pixels require longer exposure to rapid color cycling. Try repeating the process - If the pixel remains stuck, it may be a permanent defect.
Can I use this on my smartwatch, TV, or gaming monitor?
Yes! If your device has a display and can open a browser, you can use this tool. For TVs, you may need to access the site via a built-in web browser.
How long should I let the pixel fixer run?
Start with 10 minutes. If the pixel is still stuck, try 10-15 minutes. Avoid running it for excessive periods to prevent screen strain.
Can this fix a touchscreen if it's not responding?
No, touchscreen issues are usually caused by software or hardware malfunctions, not stuck pixels. Try restarting your device or checking for updates.
What if my stuck pixel only appears on certain colors?
This is common! Some stuck pixels only show up on certain backgrounds. Try changing your screen’s color mode or testing with a solid-color background.
Will this work on older monitors and TVs?
Yes, but older displays may respond slower to rapid color cycling. Try running the tool for a longer period for better results.
Will this work on a cracked screen?
No, if your screen has physical damage, stuck pixels are likely caused by hardware failure, and this tool won’t be able to fix them.
