Just got my N3DS XL in the mail about a week ago and arrived with these dead pixels (exact from eBay listing). Hadn't used it while I was waiting for my SD card to arrive. Opened it a day ago and the dead pixels are gone

    I know I should be appreciative since I don't have to shell out money on a screen replacement, but just wondering what your guys' thoughts might be?

    Maybe it'll come back soon to haunt me lol…

    1. Dead pixels can sometimes just do this 😭 My sister’s PSP had a bunch of horizontal lines of dead pixels but you could ignore them while playing. One day when she turned it on some of the lines were gone and eventually the screen was back to normal

      Stuck pixels (rarely) can be black. Sometimes the ā€œdeadā€ pixels aren’t actually dead, and are just stuck for whatever reason – usually though, stuck pixels are white, green, so on.
