How to "cure" broken pixels of LCD matrices of monitors, phones, set-top boxes

David Drager, the author of the SystemBash blog, says that he bought a DELL LCD monitor with a "broken" pixel, which was located right in the center of the display. In his post, he tells how he managed to cure him, returning him to a normal work cycle. Attention: a "dead" pixel looks black on the screen, it does not work at all and does not respond to "treatment", "broken" is a pixel that usually glows in one color, red, green or blue. So...

David, searching for a solution on the Internet, found the following medicine.

1. Download this video and run it so that the playback affects the problematic pixel. Thus, you stimulate his active work.
2. After that, if the matrix is not protected by plastic, "massage" it with your finger so as not to push through the matrix and not damage the rest of the matrix.

In fact, it took the author of the article 2 days to fix the pixel — the whole night the video worked on the pixel, and during the day he periodically massaged this pixel.

In fact, the same method is suitable for any device that is capable of playing video and has an open matrix type (not protected by transparent plastic).

Do you have any experience of "animating" broken pixels?
