"I'm a ******. I was trying to use Windows Magnifier to enlarge the dead pixel area to look at it better. I had it open for like 5 seconds, then like 'wait a minute'...

google dead pixel buddy
its pretty useful just changes you whole screen into a selection of colours.
Try gently rubing the area of the screen around the pixel (emphasis on the word gently

) it sometimes sort of wakes the pixel up

Before you use physical methods, try using one of the programs that cycles the colours on your screen extremely quickly which may wake it up.

I managed to get rid of a lazy pixel by massaging it with my knuckle.. but suggested it to a friend who went a screwed that whole portion of his monitor up.
