DS Lite Owners Realizing What A Pain A Pixel Can Be

Just days after the launch of DS Lite in America, users have been reporting cases of “dead pixels” or “stuck pixels” in varying degrees. To the uninitiated, a dead pixel is a defective pixel that remains unlit on a screen, while a stuck pixel, on the other hand is one that stays a solid color – red, green, or blue – regardless of whatever color it’s supposed to show.

DS Lite owners’ complaints have been circulating across the net through forums and message boards. In a post by Origami at TheMagicBox forum, he talked about a red dot that just wouldn’t go away. Another user, Newtype, said that the dead pixel is randomly changing colors.

Though owners have already exchanged homebrew remedies and fixes, it’s best to report the problem to Nintendo. DS Lites covered by a 1-year warranty can be turned over to Nintendo for inspection. If the unit is found to be defective, Nintendo will issue a new unit.
