While some people have reported successfully changing their stuck pixels' statuses by putting pressure on them or using heat, doing so is more likely to harm your screen than it is to fix it. The other issue with this method is that it will often void your warranty. Your screen must be on for this method to work. It is imperative that you are showing a black image and not just a blank signal, as you need the back-lighting of the LCD to be illuminating the back of the panel. A Sharpie marker with the cap on, an incredibly dull pencil, a plastic stylus, or the end of a makeup brush would all work for this. Before you proceed further read the warnings at the end of this article. Physically rubbing your monitor might make things worse. This will prevent the hard surface of the object from scratching up your monitor. If the object is capable of poking through the cloth, it's too sharp. Find a different object. You should see a light white rippling effect appear around the point of contact. Try to apply pressure only to the stuck pixel and not the surrounding area. If the pixel is still stuck, you can repeat the pressure, or proceed with using heat; if it isn't stuck, however, shut down your monitor immediately and leave it off for at least one hour. If you can, heat water on the stove until it's just beginning to show air bubbles at the bottom of the container (around 190 degrees Fahrenheit), then put the washcloth in and dump the hot water over the washcloth. You don't want to burn your fingers in the next steps, so use oven mitts or a heavy-duty washcloth. This will protect the monitor from moisture. Make sure the seal is completely closed. Applying light pressure in this manner should loosen the pixel's internals, potentially unsticking it in the process. Make sure not to hold the bag against the pixel for more than a few seconds at a time. If it's been fixed, you're done. If not, there isn't much else you can do without help from a professional repair service, so either take your monitor into a repair department or allow the pixel to unstick itself with time. You can also try using software again.

One-sentence summary -- Understand the risks associated with this method. Turn on the computer and LCD screen. Display a black image. Find a narrow object with a blunt, narrow end. Wrap the end of the object in a cloth. Use the rounded end of the object to gently press the stuck pixel. Remove the object after a few seconds. Dampen a washcloth with hot water. Cover your hands. Seal the hot washcloth in a plastic sandwich bag. Hold the bag against the stuck pixel. Review your pixel.

This method works especially well on dark hair. You can find cinnamon in most grocery stores, and you may already have some in your kitchen! The conditioner will help the cinnamon stick to your hair, and it will spread the highlights throughout your hair. The amount that you use will depend on how much hair you have. Start with several tablespoons of cinnamon, and gradually add water until the mixture is thick but spreadable. Make sure to spread it evenly from root to tip, and spread it deeply--beyond just the outer layers of hair. Rub your hair together between your hands. This will help spread the cinnamon. Consider using a brush to help spread the cinnamon throughout your hair. If you do, make sure that the brush is wet so that the cinnamon will glide through your hair more smoothly. If possible, leave the mixture in your hair overnight. The longer that you keep the cinnamon in your hair, the lighter the end result will be. Four hours will make a slight impact, but you may need to continue the treatment for eight hours or more to achieve the shade that you want. Err on the side of caution. Remember: you can always try the treatment again! Cover your cinnamon-hair with a shower cap or a plastic bag so that the cinnamon does not rub off. You may feel a slight heat and tingling on your scalp--but this is normal, and it will pass. When dry, your hair will smell amazing! If you have curly hair, use shampoo to get the cinnamon out. If the resulting shade is not light enough for you, remember that you can always try again!

Cinnamon, like honey, contains trace amounts of peroxide and will not dry out your hair. Wet your hair (in the shower, the sink, or using a spray bottle) and work in conditioner. In a bowl, mix cinnamon and water into a paste. Spread the cinnamon-and-water paste into your hair. Leave the cinnamon mixture in your hair for 4-8 hours, depending on the shade of your hair. When you are ready, rinse the cinnamon out of your hair.
