Tim Dorr Veteran Posted December 8, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2003 http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13506 One of the more interesting apps I've seen in a while.

ike Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 for the non-mac users here, what does this program actually do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theDose Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 You have a stuck pixel on a tube? :blink: yup, it's one dead black pixel in the middle of my PF795 :( every time i'm in photoshop, i'm trying to erase it to no avail LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted December 8, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2003 for the non-mac users here, what does this program actually do? It can either change the entire screen to black, white, red, green, blue, or your color, or it can cycle those colors really quickly to, potentially, jar the stuck pixel back into normal operation.

macman87 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 my dead pixel which is red is really dead... it displays blue, black and red... not green or white... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concept04 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 wow someone actually found it lol. We're now working on v5 which will (with any luck) have a PC version as well as some more eye candy and the Burn Control will be back at last! Anyways, keep your eyes open on VersionTracker.com and macupdate.com for v5 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robniep Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 yup, it's one dead black pixel in the middle of my PF795 :( every time i'm in photoshop, i'm trying to erase it to no avail LOL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFNE Freak Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Ugh...the download is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTallack Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Ugh...the download is dead. I noticed that too. Does anyone have a mirror? I have one dead pixel that developed right in the centre of my screen. (behind the glowing Apple logo) and it's driving me nuts. Anything that can fix it would be great.

Concept04 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi, We have pulled the download until version 5 is complete. Try the massage (anti-clockwise) for about 5-10 minutes and see if that works. Version 5 should be out within the next couple of weeks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null_ Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Can't wait for version 5 :) I heard v4 was pretty good. I'll be using both the Mac and PC versions when released.. no dead pixels on my PowerBook but my ThinkPad has a dead pixel in the taskbar that drives me insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MipScript Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I was looking at my screen and I thought I had a dead pixel :o but it was just a tiny spec of dirt which I removed. I'm really lucky not to have any dead pixels. Some of my friends have been through hell with there expensive LCDs having dead pixels and there monitor makers not having a policy on dead pixels / screen replacements :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concept04 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 One of the other developers got a selection of dead pixels on his PowerBook when he bought it, and since then he has sent it back 8 times (for different problems, a lot caused by the technicians) and they finally replaced his screen with one that has only one dead pixel on. Its a joke really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling3k12 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 After 8 times I'd be demanding a new PowerBook... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concept04 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 We counted and its actually 10 times now lol. Also, Just for future reference, a dead pixel will be white. Dead pixels will not display any colour. Some stuck pixels cannot be fixed and so you might consider them dead but as they are still displaying a colour they are just stuck.
