If it is "stuck" on red, you can probably fix it. If it is totally dead, it might stay that way. But a "stuck" pixel will often be corrected. Use the Break in DVD (you can easily find it with a search over at AVS. You can also just put up an all White screen.

I have had a "stuck" pixel as well as two different "flickering" pixels in my Samsung plasma. All three eventually corrected themselves. With one of the flickering pixels, I only got it to go away by running the break in DVD.

I can't guarantee that it will come "unstuck". But certainly do not lose hope

ok thx FR ...and do you think that if i run the pixel orbiter wich is white that it could fix it?

If you mean the "wipe", that is what I did with my stuck pixel and it eventually went away.

The "orbiter" usually refers to the processing that periodically shifts the whole image by a few pixels when you are watching regular content

well on my tv its called the ''scrolling bar'' wich is white..going from left to right on the screen.

Yup, the "scrolling bar" might do the trick

See if you can track down that break in DVD though. It's great just to have it on hand. I'm pretty sure that someone made a USB thumbstick version that you can just plug into the USB port on the TV and play it like a slideshow.

Hi. You can download the break-in images in multiple formats from the link here. I used the break-in images (second item listed, which is 8kB in size) and put them on an SD memory card and ran them as a slide show on my G10. Worked great, and I didn't have to run my disc player.
