Hi all, I uploaded a new tiny utility at http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/stuck-pixel-sweeper-rgbflash.zip
The tool is 1.3 kilobytes and needs VGA and a 386 or better, simply because I was too lazy to support EGA or 8086. It is public domain. Thanks to Mateusz Viste for the idea :-) Note: It might be better to flash only the area around the stuck pixel. A good way for that is www.killdeadpixel.com which is a simple animated GIF. Because the gif also mixes phases of the animation, the overall gif only looks flickery dirty white, much less nausea inducing than RGBFLASH :-p. Eric RGBFLASH Public Domain software by Eric Auer 2007: Displays flashy stuff which might wake up stuck TFT LCD pixels Please do not look at the flashing for longer time! It may help to (gently!) press the affected area, too. Use RGBFLASH at your own risk. Needs VGA and 386 or better. Hit any key to stop flashing. Available flash patterns: Select by running 'RGBFLASH option' R flashes between red and black G flashes between green and black B flashes between blue and black K cycle through black, magenta, white, blue, red, yellow, cyan, green M cycle through red, black, green, black, blue, black, random delays S do random pick of red, green, blue, black, white each frame Options k, m and s are inspired by killdeadpixel.com, Mateusz Viste and http://sourceforge.net/projects/stucksweep respectively :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
