How to fix defective pixels in Laptop display?

I have a Lenovo Ideapad that was purchased in March 2019, and is running smoothly, however today I noticed that in a dark screen, one pixel was still shining white light, and after trying the Monitor test, found that the pixel shined white light inspite of the background. Kindly suggest a fix for this problem.

you could try run some "burn-in fix" videos on youtube for some hours, but if it's stuck good, it's permanent.

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

That, my friend, sounds to me like a dead or stuck pixel. If it's a stuck pixel, it's possible that a tool like JScreenFix might help, or you can try one of the many other troubleshooting methods online. If it's a dead pixel, there's really nothing you can do. If it's under warranty, you could try contacting Lenovo for a replacement screen, but most companies won't start an RMA for a single dead pixel.

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

Send it in for RMA and claim your warranty. At least you'll get a good display, at most, you'll get a new laptop.

I am out of warranty and am currently trying if the other solutions work. Else will get the display fixed.
