Do you know how can I fix dead pixels on my iphone?
The solution depends on the problem.
Uh, pixels aren’t working on my phone. What is the solution for that?
Dead pixels cannot be fixed. The solution in that case is to replace the screen, or
per Apple’s policies, replace the device.
Then I’m stuck.
No, not if the pixels are.
Say again?
If you have stuck pixels, you might be able to fix it. Dead ones cannot be fixed.
How on Earth could I tell? It’s not as if I can push them around with my finger.
Applications like JScreenFix or a dead pixel diagnostic device will help you determine
if pixels are dead or stuck.
How do I fix it?
You could fix stuck pixels by gently rubbing the area with a microfiber cloth. Don’t
push too hard, or you’ll damage it.
I’m afraid to try.
You could install the Stuck Pixel Fix from the App Store to force the stuck pixels out
of their phase. If you have stuck pixels and an Apple warranty, they’ll either fix it
or replace the device.
Do I have to go to the App Store? Though I might have to jailbreak the phone to do it.
Be careful about jail-breaking the iPhone to install other stuck pixel apps. That breaks
the warranty and keeps Apple from repairing the device under warranty.
Could I take the screen off and fix it myself?
Don’t take the screen off to repair the pixel problem.
Fine, don’t take off the screen unless I’m willing to pay for a new iPhone – at which
point, I might as well just get a new iPhone.
Whether I’m stuck or dead in the water, replacing the thing is always an option. At
least this time it isn’t because it fell in the toilet.
This time?
