I have a couple of stuck pixels on my 997. Can I use the warm cloth and eraser pressure on power up method to fix the stuck pixels, or do you (HB-men) recommend another method?
Yes, I know they are stuck.
Also, what is your acceptable bad pixel count for new screens?
anybody?Quote:

I have several red screen dots that won't wash off. So, I know it is a stuck pixel. On lcd screens, you can take a pointed dull instrument and touch the spot at power up and un-stick the pixel. You can also generate more stuck pixels too.:oQuote:

Don't want to give my unit up till I see the Down imaging and GPS stuff. I look daily for the upgrade.
I ain't never had a stuck pixel, but the neighbors dog got his pixel stuck once. That's how I learned about the birds and the bees. I figure a humminbird would be too quick to get his pixel stuck.
As per some other sites HB has slated upgrades for Jan 15th......I guess I'll be testing my SLOW GPS upgrade by walking on a frozen lake:D:eek:Quote:

I can't even try to fix the stuck pixel on my 997 because of the glass. Can't touch the screen. That's a good thing though.
