Stuck Pixel fix?!?

Hey Guys,

Had the treo 800w for about 3 weeks now. The second night I realized this tiny red dot on the upper right hand corner of my today screen. After doing some research I found out that it's called a "stuck Pixel."

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if they found a solution. I tried a few things, some program that runs a flash program. And I even tried pushing the spot where the pixel is to get it to go back...

Any ideas guys? (short of replacing the phone or LCD screen?)

Thanks Ahead of time...

That's pretty much your only option.

LCD TV's have pixel issues all the time and the manufacturer "allows" so many before it's considered eligible for replacement under warranty.

Since you are still in within your 30 days of purchase, your best bet is to get it exchanged (assuming you bought it from Sprint.)
