Switch off the laptop. Mark where the dead pixel is located.

Step 2

Use the eraser end of the pencil or your finger to apply pressure on the dead pixel. Apply pressure lightly. You can also use a damp cloth to apply pressure to avoid scratch marks.

Step 3

Switch on the laptop when applying pressure. Rub gently to move the liquid in the crystal.
