Okay, so for a few years now my computer screen has had a red, burnt pixel in the bottom left hand corner of it. it was there when i got the screen and it has been there up until a few days ago when it was replaced with a large black swirl. Large enough so that if I move my mouse under it I cannot see it. So I went online and tried a few tricks to get it removed. I used JScreenFix, and a few others. This cleared most of it up but not all. So I turned my computer off for the night and woke up to eerily find that the black blotch had returned to it's original state, even worse this time. So I decided to just ignore it and go on with my life. A few days later I noticed the black swirl had gotten bigger. I found this very odd and just assumed a program I was using was making the blotch bigger and bigger when I left it on overnight. So i started turning off the monitor at night. Now the black blotch has spread all over my screen in various locations. A few green, red and blue spots mixed in. It's got the same qualities of a regular screen burn but it's growing at a much larger rate then normal. Usually this happens over the coarse of many years, mine happened in a week!!!
My question to you is what is going on. I seriously cannot figure this out. Every time I go somewhere and leave the screen off or on "it doesn't make a difference" I always come back to more and more spots all over my screen. Have you ever seen anything like it? What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

Ditto!
Or, depending on your system, a new video card or video chip-set. But from what you describe, I would say a new monitor would help the situation. |

oh i'm getting a new monitor... But nobody I have talked to in the past couple days on tech forums and stuff has absolutely no idea what it is. It's like some unknown virus that only has one reported case and no doctors can help you...

| If it's an LCD monitor, then some of the liquid may be leaking or moving around -- I think I can make "ripples" if I gently touch my old Mac laptop screen. |

I'd love to see it. If you want to ship it to Colorado, I'll recycle it for free. PM me, and I'll send you an address.
I seriously doubt it's the LCD actually leaking, but it could be a voltage issue, or something along those lines. No idea for sure. |

| I also want to see pictures of your bizarre monitor that is creating miniature black holes and tearing spacetime around this anomalous red pixel. ;) |

It's sort of like "2001 A Space Oddesy". The computer doesn't call you "Dave" does it?
ETA,
Do a screen shot. If the screen shot does not have the problem, then it is most likely the monitor. I guess that the screen shot would show up smaller on your computer, and you could see if the glitches are in the same places in the screen shot.

Ok, here's my theory (the following two sentences where taken from wikipedia because I was too lazy to paraphrase: The Black Spot is a fictional literary device invented by Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel Treasure Island. In the book, a pirate is presented with a "black spot" to officially pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgment. It consists of a piece of paper or card, with a circular black spot in the middle and placed in the hand of the accused.
In this day and age, pirates don't want to deliver the black spot by hand, so they're using technology.
What I want to know is: what did you do to the pirates!?! |
