Spotting those weird blemishes on your mobile screen can be alarming! Before you rush to replace your phone, let's troubleshoot. First, **rule out the obvious**: give your screen a good wipe with a microfiber cloth. Smudges and fingerprints often mimic dead pixels.
If cleaning doesn't help, the spots could be **dead pixels**, **stuck pixels**, or even **pressure damage**. Dead pixels are permanently black, while stuck pixels can be bright or colored. Gentle pressure applied *around* the area might revive a stuck pixel (search for reliable tutorials online!).
However, if the spots are spreading, changing color, or associated with physical damage like a drop, it's likely a hardware issue. This often means liquid crystal damage or a problem with the display itself. In this case, professional repair is usually your best bet. Contact your phone manufacturer or a reputable repair shop for diagnosis and repair options. Don't ignore it – these spots rarely get better on their own!
