Stuck Pixel iPhone

[thegingertator]

Hello,

I just bought a gently used iPhone 5 and there are two stuck pixels. I know they're not dead because one of them displays green and one displays red. I already tried the hour-long YouTube video displaying colors, the tapping method, and the pressure method. Anyone have any ideas?

Many Thanks,

Kellen

The only thing you can do is the Youtube videos(or Jscreenfix), but most of the time these don't work. The "press" method doesn't work on phones, because of the glass that covers the screen(you will make the screen worse if you try this). I have heard of heating up the screen(or even freezing it), but the people that make these claims don't know what causes stuck pixels. Theres a good chance that the phone you bought has an aftermarket screen(possibly a cheap one), so it might be good to just replace the screen.

Is there a price range I can get?
