How to fix dead pixels on a monitor or smartphone

 

Your computer or smartphone screen is designed using millions of pixels. Every pixel is a combination of different colors. But have you ever thought about what happens when these pixels get damaged or die? 

When pixels die, they create a dark spot on your device’s screen and spoil your viewing experience. Pixels die when they don’t get adequate power from the transistor. That puts the screen’s health at risk and creates a black zone. There can be a manufacturing defect behind these dead pixels, and it can also happen because of some physical damage.  

Moreover, if you have the same issue, you are in the right place. In this article, you will learn ways to fix dead or stuck pixels to make your computer or smartphone screen healthy.
