Stuck pixels - Any magic advice?

So, I had to RMA my monitor last week and the replacement arrived today, with two stuck pixels :(

I've spent a couple of hours googling common ways to fix them and so far nothing has worked. So I'm just wondering if any fellow GameSpotters know of any magic techniques that worked for you?

I can't RMA this replacement because they don't count two stuck pixels as faulty.

Ah i read your post again, sorry i hope you will fix the problem. Just out of curiosity, what are stuck pixels? do they keep lighting white no matter what? because my monitor has one of these.

Having long suffered with Thunderbug infestations in my monitor(s), I know how infinitely irritating having a blip on the screen is. It's bizarre that a stuck pixel doesn't count as a defect. Afterall, they are caused by a transistor malfunctioning. Would it count if the pixels were dead?

There are apparently some pixel-fixing softwares available, although I have no idea which was are reputible and/or work effectively. Other than that, you can try gently rubbing or tapping the affected area, and hope that will eventually reset them.

I don't know what the limits are but most company's say that you must have over a certain number of dead pixels before they count it as defective.

Just a shot in the dark, but powerful magnets seem to do the strangest things at times.

Tried all of the techniques, rubbing and software, nothing worked on my 24" Acer with one "on" pixel center-left. Damn that thing was annoying, would probably have preferred a dead one compared to that shiny beacon staring me in the face. Shucked that monitor today though and got a shiny 27" benq, flawless (so far *knocks on a huge quantity of wood*)...
