Android: how to know if the screen of your cell phone has a dead pixel


Before we begin, we will answer the following question: What is a pixel? it is the smallest element of a digital image represented by a colored square, the more pixels per inch a screen has, the higher the resolution will be. The computer term dead or burned pixel refers to one of these light units that have stopped working on the screen of your cell phone Androidtablet, TV, monitor, etc., so this time, from Mag we will teach you how to identify if your smartphone is presenting this annoying problem and if it is possible to solve it.

The pixels are based on the RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color mode, which is mostly used for graphic elements (not printed), this is how a group of pixels manage to form images, combine and create a new color. Why does a pixel burn? There are many reasons, for example: a manufacturing fault; devices with screens that have higher resolution, having more pixels there is more risk of a pixel dying; cell phones with very cheap prices, they have lower quality components, etc.

Can a burned pixel be fixed? If you have tried to restart, turn off or reset your cell phone to its factory settings and the problem still remains, it is most likely a hardware error and not the operating system, it means that only a cell phone specialist or technician will able to fix it.

SO YOU CAN KNOW IF YOUR CELL PHONE HAS A DEAD PIXEL

  • First, go to the “Settings” of your phone Androidyou locate it with the icon of a cogwheel or gear.
  • Now, press the section that says “About the phone”.
  • The next step is to find and press the “All specifications” option. Remember that the process may change slightly depending on the brand and model of the device, in this example we use a Xiaomi mobile.
  • In this part you must tap several times on “Kernel version” until the CIT screen is enabled.
  • Finally, click on the tab called “Display” and click on “Touch the screen to start the test”.
