Stuck Pixel On Gp32 Blu+

[Alex.]

Yesterday a strange thing displayed on my Blu+ screen: a teal pixel on a black transition background. The problem persisted in all the apps, so I came to the conclusion that it was a stuck pixel. I had the 32 for less than 6 months, and this pissed me off. I took out the batteries, rebooted it a number of times, but to no use. I hard-rebooted it about 10 times after, and it fortunately healed.

Did any of you have any pixel misfortunes with your GP32's, and if so how did you 'heal' it?

You could try the PSP Stuck Pixel Fixer ... it basically plays a seizure-robots type video of changing colors ... this supposedly unsticks stuck pixels ...

I tried it on my PSP and it didn't work (but I'm impatient and didn't leave it running for 8 hours, as some had suggested)

I used the same on my PC (SyncMaster913 TFT) and after about 4 hours running the pixel was unstuck, if I remember correctly this is an mp4 video?!

As daft as it sounds flicking the screen quite hard with my finger has done the trick before!
