I believed that this problem is serious enough to start its own thread. I previously posted that i was having problems with my LCD, a line was burnt out, WELL, its not, infact it works fine, but say its dot 15,1, if i fill in dot 7,1 it gets grey, if i fill in 8,1 it gets darker and so on, until you fill the one right above it in, then it is darker than the rest of the filled in pixles  
I have tried reloading 1.15 and i have tried taking out the watch battery, and resetting all, and all of that, i don't know what to do! i can't make ANY pics on my calc because it doesen't show right.
i really need help |

it is actually called LCD Test Mode or something... but what it does, is draw a blue line on the screen... very very dangerous, because your LCD could leak from it  |

I always thought it had something to with the contrast/current being too high.
Or does it have nothing to do with that at all? |

blue pixels happen when an asm prgm sends the maximum voltage to the LCD display. it can burn out the pixels causing them to leak lcd fluid, as above stated.
currently, noone has been able to control actual pixels, just lines of pixels that stretch across the screen like the Horizontal function in basic under the draw menu.
i forget who at the time of post, but someone said that their frien's calc acctually had dark green and dark red pixels once while exiting mirage. i have never heard of this b4, but i still believe him |

wow... so its possible to have blue pixels on the ti83+... but causes lcd damage... makes me want to try it, yet discourages me from learning asm... i think some1 with alot of money should start experimenting with this, it could make for some "how the hell did they do this" games, of coarse in the best quality possible and a few warning messages.
flash's seem to strike at unpredictable times... today he seems too lazy
