Red dots on the monitor

During operation, each device tends to develop certain malfunctions. The appearance of red dots on the monitor is evidence of a problem. However, this does not mean that the design is no longer usable. Thus, in this article we will analyze not only the causes, but also ways to eliminate them.

What they look like

It makes sense to first understand that there are several types of dead pixels, but all of them do not in any way affect the change in color rendition. As for the appearance of the red dots, they are small inclusions that can be observed directly on the equipment screen. They are really easy to notice, as they immediately begin to irritate the user. However, you should not worry about this, although it is also highly recommended not to let the situation get worse.

First of all, their presence indicates one of the problems. They may be related:

• With your own video card;
• With a personal computer or laptop monitor;
• With pre-installed driver;
• Or with a cable from the video card.

For each source of the defect, you can choose the appropriate elimination method, which will be discussed below in the article.

How to get rid of it?

As mentioned above, several methods can be distinguished. Thus, let’s look at the most common and effective of them:

• Most often in practice, the software version is used.As the name suggests, this requires installing a specific program. The principle is based on its operation at a fast frequency. Due to this, the colors of the pixels change. As a result, healing of the defective point can be observed.

IMPORTANT! As for time costs, it depends on the immediate situation. Usually required before noon. So, it is recommended to download either IsMyLcdOK or Dead Pixel Tester 3.00.

• If we talk about the first of them, you will need to launch it, after which instructions will be available to you. Therefore, to achieve the result, you just need to stick to it. The second program is also easy to use. In addition, on the Internet you can find many more similar mechanisms for eliminating dead pixels.
• It is worth not forgetting about the mechanical method. To do this, you need to disconnect the device from the power supply. Next, mark the “sore” area using a safe tool. This can be either a toothpick surrounded by cotton wool or an ear stick. Then, using minimal effort, press on the designated mark. Now you can turn on the unit and check its functionality. If the outcome is negative, you need to repeat the procedure. You cannot use your own finger as a “massager”. This precaution is explained by the fact that it has a larger diameter than, for example, a toothpick. So with its help you can damage those parts that are located next to the problem.
• There is a liquidation process similar to the previous one. However, you need to arm yourself with a stylus. It must be fixed in a certain position and at the same time turn off the screen. Then reactivate the functionality, but continuing to hold the product.It can be removed only when the equipment begins full operation. This principle gives a shift to the defect. However, if you didn’t succeed the first time, you can carry out the described steps again.
• This execution option cannot fully guarantee success, so it is recommended to reproduce it last. So, this will require shutting down the entire system. This includes both the network, video card, and other mechanisms. As for the laptop, you will need to disconnect it from the battery. Now it is important to leave the device indefinitely in the specified state. The fact is that in this situation, all existing capacitors can be completely discharged, that is, not a single percent can be left in them. Due to this, the current that is in excess can be eliminated. Therefore, after the updated activation of the equipment, it is possible that the broken point will work again.
