I have a DS, and at the bottom right top corner of the screen there is a broken pixel or however you want to call it. Its a small white dot on the bottom screen. Im lucky most of the DS games use the top screen, but while i play bottom screen games it bugs me to death! Does anyone have any suggestions to help me so i can ignore this little white dot? IT DRIVES ME INSANE!!!
Thanks

Take a black Sharpie and color over it.
Actually, if it annoys you really bad, you could get one of those really fine tipped Sharpies and color over it. I don't think it would really affect the system that much. But then it would look weird for light games.
I don't know how to fix dead pixels.

[quote="Turbo Tax 1.0"]did you import it? cause if you didnt you can just call nintendo, tell them about it and they will send you a new DS and a prepaid UPS sticker and once you get it all you have to do is ship your DS back to them[/quote]
It is a used DS, i dont really own any topscreen games, i mainly want to know if it would still bug me with a topscreen game like Need for Speed or Super Mario 64 DS. It is so hard playing Animal Crossing tho for the pixel!

I remember from another thread about the DS's dead pixels that some people pushed against the problematic pixel and it would work, just don't push too hard.Thornwillow wrote:So i just push the screen and it may fix it? Well, i can try it, but it wont interfear with the touch screen will it? Becuase i heard the touch screen is sensitiveslimjimmy wrote:Some people find that just pushing against the pixel fixes the problem at times.
Or do what vb_master said, if it's still under warranty, just send in for a replacement.

I hear Nintendo is generally pretty good about replacing things that are out of warranty, even... then again, if it was used, you probably don't have a receipt. In this case, good luck with that.
If you are going to try to rub the lcd, just give it a gentle "massage".. maybe even use the pen to do it

I've found that rubbing does help in some cases! (It worked on this laptop I'm using )
