The word “pixel” is short for “picture element,” and your MacBook^® screen is made up of thousands of them. As a general rule, more pixels usually make for a higher quality display. However, bad pixels can prevent you from seeing the screen clearly. If you have a bad pixel on your screen, consult the following troubleshooting guide to resolve the issue and find out if you need computer repairs.

4 Steps to Take After Noticing Pixel Damage

1. Assess the Issue

Bad pixels may look different depending on the extent of the problem. When stuck or defective, they typically appear red, green, or blue, and you might be able to fix them yourself. On the other hand, dead pixels are usually black and require professional computer repairs. 

2. Run a Repair Program

If you suspect a pixel defect, a repair program may correct them with reputable applications available for download on the internet. Both Rizonesoft and JScreenFix have the ability to locate stuck pixels on your MacBook display, allowing you to potentially fix them with the click of a button. 

3. Check Your Warranty

If applications don’t correct the issue, double-check the warranty agreement for your MacBook. It might cover all or part of the cost for a screen replacement if the defective or dead pixels are beyond repair. 

4. Consult the Experts

When in doubt, schedule an appointment for computer repairs at a reliable Apple^® shop. They will diagnose your display problems and start the troubleshooting process. In many cases, repairs should restore your screen, but you might need a replacement to ensure a clear and crisp display.
