Repairing “pressure marks” on an lcd in software

by mail1683515 . Updated 19 years, 2 months ago

I just put a nasty pressure mark on my laptop’s screen, and am acutely depressed at the moment…. After searching around, it seems to be generaly accepted that they cannot be repaired in any way so I will have to replace my screen.

But, I was thinking, the pixels are *brighter* than their surrounding pixels, so it must be possible to at least reduce the symptoms by just dimming those pixels down, dividing their brightness by a certain factor. Maybe by modifying the video card driver somehow. Has anyone done this ? How can I try it? How can I modify a video card driver to do something like that?
