Hi all,
Had the Vita since launch, but over the last few days been playing FIFA, and noticed 1 or 2 stuck pixels centre-to-right of the screen. They are stuck on a bright green, even when on non-green colours (e.g. my background is blue, yet the pixels still green).
They arent dead, as i assume dead pixels would just be black. Its not too noticeable either, its just because i know they are there, my eyes are drawn to them, which is kinda annoying. Anyone know any solutions? Is this something that has to be returned, or is there a home-made fix that wont invalidate the warranty?
Thanks
Royston

Some people report some success by playing a video on the affected screen that switches rapidly between various colours, with the idea that if they're 'stuck', a series of rapid on/off signals might 'unstick' them. Advocates also recommend 'massaging' the screen at the affected place during the process... i.e. applying pressure to the affected area - enough to deform the surface but it's unclear how much is safe to press.
Search Youtube for 'stuck pixel fixer'
Having said all this, I have tried this technique with my PSP-1000 and it never worked on my one stuck pixel. You do kinda get used to it after a while.
