Can anything be done to fix a dead pixel?

The only way to really fix that is to exercise your warranty/consumer rights. If it's not acceptable most retailers will send you a replacement. If they have a dead-pixel policy that says one is ok, there's not much you can do from a technical perspective. The circuits are just too small and delicate to work with.

Graphics card probably. Those colored dots could be on their way to becoming dead pixels. I would be worried. Don't want to scare you, but you might want to a computer repair store. That would be better than trying to replace your graphics card because you're not even sure if that's the problem. I saw this in another computer, but it went away after a while. Hopefully that will happen to you too. Your welcome. \n\nP.S. Are you from India, your name sounds Indian.

Ok.. if it is a work computer, then you really need not worry. Contact your IT department and tell them your monitor is giving you trouble. They'll fix it for you.\n\nIt could also be that there is no problem with the monitor. \nProbably some magnetic disturbances around the monitor led it to be distorted.\n\nWhat you can do is, leave the monitor off. unplug it. for about 15 - 20 minutes. until cools down completely. \nThen turn it on. \nThen "Degauss" it\n\nIf you dont know how to degauss, then read further. \nGo through the "Menu settings" of the monitor. \n\neach monitor has different way to access the menu settings, so i dont know how to do it on yours because you did not mention any specs of your monitor.\n\nbrowse through the settings to find for something called "Degauss" and select it.\n\nThe monitor may flickr for a second and come back on .. .. \nIf that does not help.. then your monitor is DEAD. \n\nhope that helps.

disconect the monitor cable from the video card and look at the pins....make sure one didn't get bent. it's way easy to bend one and it will usually throw off the color or brighrness. if thats ok, try adjusting the brightness and contrast on the monitor.

As long as you didn't save it in the current pixelly shape, then just reboot and all should be ok, even when you reload it to check it out again.  If you did save it and it opens in its weird form, the only thing I can suggest is a backup copy, if you have one.  If you opened it up in a browser you should be able to search the cache files (based on whether it's in .jpg, .gif, or other form instead of the cache files that end in .htm or .html) and it should still be in its original unaltered form.  I hope this helps.

Buy A New One...The Part To Fix It Will Cost You $5 But The Labor Will Cost You $75 And You Can Get A Nice LCD For Just Above $125....

Try using Alt+Prt Scr.  That should do it.

We had what we thought was a dead monitor at the library I work at.  Turned out that the vga connector into the CPU was loose.  The tech jiggled the connection and the monitor came back on.  Hope I explained it correctly.

I'd try plugging it into the computer and see if that does anything, other than that, I guess you just have to let the battery die...

SHIT........\n\nok, Your Graphics card is definetly gone. Probably a capacitor has exploded or chip got corrupted. Change your AGP and thinks will definetly get back to normal.\n\nSee those red lines and misplaceed graphics. That happens when the AGP cannot retrieve data of a chip (which is probably corrupted)

I suggest you get a 256 mb graphic card and make sure the hdtv has a dvi output. If it doesn't your dead.

There's several options really. Could just be a battery issue, a memory issue, maybe something in there fried (which sadly is the most likely). Honestly though, I would recommend taking it in to the place where you bought it/ calling the manufacturer to find out, provided it's not adressed in the owners manual. They'd know, where-as we can only make half-assed geusses.

Hmmmm. The only thing I could think of is uninstalling it but if its not installed....thats not an option. Perhaps you could try to clean the lense of the cam with water (lightly put paper towel in water) and see if that helps. Lots of times the cheaper cams don't last long. If you are able to install a disc, try that. I hope it works!! If not with the holidays coming up you can find a replacement pretty cheap.

best idea would be to contact ATI themselves since they hold the pattern, etc.. and they would advise you the best. \nor would u go do is take the card to a local pc shop. and ask them to write a letter saying repair of the card would be impossible and make up something like burn curcuits internal in the graphical core etc..

It could be your video card has died.  Or try a new monitor cable.

check your resolution. Because it is a widescreen, text and graphics may appear fuzzy because pixels are stretched.\nTry a resolution greater than 1024 by 768, try 1440 by 900.\nSet a high resolution and check if it works.

probably the problem there is the monitor! you can check the connection of the monitor if there is any loose connection.... if there is none, well you have no choice but to buy a new one... its probably from inside like the cathode tubes etc..
