Stuck pixel, a chance to remove?

Question

Stuck pixel, a chance to remove?

Hello,

on Friday I was working on my iMac (Late '09) and then there was suddenly a vertical purple (1) pixel line on the right side of my iMac. Round about 3 cm from the right side away and 18 cm high.

I restarted my Mac immediately but no solution. Meanwhile I noticed: If the purple line is on a bright background image the color stays purple, dark background image it is green and on a red / blue background image the line turns within 1 minute to white.

I already tried JScreenFix and LCD repair v2.0 (both 1 1/2 hours) but no success..

I would be very happy if you could help me to fix these pixels!

Thanks!

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

HI TechnicalPaul,

Im sorry to have to tell you this but I dont think its an issue with your LCD screen but an issue with your graphics card, which is intergerated onto the motherboard which would probably costs you about 1/3 of a new pc to replace out of warranty.
