Hello Every one,

Today on my way to home from work I noticed stuck pixel on my idrive screen, does any one know how to get rid of it or does it need the new lcd screen, it is annoying on the screen.

Thanks

You might have to get it replaced. Are you still under warranty?

If it's truly stuck and not dead one of these techniques might help. Please note a couple of things....
- the techniques are targeted to standalone monitors. You probably can't apply some of them to the idrive screen.
- I have no idea if any of these will work and make no promises at all. Apply with caution and if you're not sure of what you're doing - don't do it!

Good luck.

Cheers.

I think its stuck cause its a green dot. I don't think I can use any technique because of the plastic cover on screen. Does any one has the same issue or does it go away over time. I had a car parked under the sun yesterday in Boston and it was a hot day, did extreme heat caused this issue? any opinion would be helpful.

Thanks
