Dead vs. Stuck Pixels Dead pixels themselves are almost always unfixable because all three sub-pixels have gone dark. Also, not enough power is being supplied to the pixel. However, in most cases “stuck” pixels can be fixed! Stuck pixels look nearly identical to dead pixels but are simply pixels that are displaying all three primary colors at the same time.

Why Does Microsoft Remove Zune? “Awesome” was an understatement, if anything, when describing the Zune media player device.
