Dead Pixel :-(

Just noticed a tiny red dot on my Nexus 5 screen.

Absolutely gutted as it's been purchased from ebay and was a bargain brand new.

Any way to fix it?

There's a lot of alleged remedies but in my opinion it'll have to be a display replacement. But who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and it's only stuck instead of being a dead pixel.

I think it's stuck. If you turn the brightness up it goes.

I'll have to live with it otherwise.

My first N5 had 4 stuck and dead pixels, they were that small i needed to hold the phone at an unusable distance to even see them.

At normal viewing distances i couldn't see them.

Turning up the brightness wouldn't remove a stuck pixel.

Go on YouTube and find a stuck pixel video. Leave it running over night and see if that fixes it.
