That's about the best you can try. Stuck pixels are a fact of life with LCD panels, though. My personal experience is that roughly half of the LCD panels I see have at least 1 (but rarely more than 2) stuck pixels. The 'massage' therapy entails doing just that.... massaging around the pixel. Sometimes this works, but rarely permanently; usually, you'll get it to disappear for a few hours, until the next time the display is bumped, or until the next time the computer is restarted. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
