If you have a problem with pixels on a LCD monitor, look no further as I have found a solution! JScreen Fix has developed a nifty application in Java which is cross platform compatible. It means whether if you’re a UNIX, Linux or Mac user, you can fix your monitor’s stuck pixels.

Firstly, let’s get things clear. A stuck pixel is when the LCD displays the colour wrongly. Like this example

A dead pixel means that the pixel is not responding at all. It should be black. Not lighted at all. Like this.

Today’s post will be focusing on stuck pixels. No harm trying if there are dead pixels.Who knows, it may work. Anyways, you can repair your stuck pixels easily by using the applet by JScreen Fix.

Just leave it at the dead pixel spot and you will see the difference after 20 minutes. If the problem is a screen burn (persistent images after a long time), it could take up to 6 hours to fix. But rest assured, stuck pixels WILL be fixed.

You can further check out the website as they also have applications specially developed for PDAs, mobile phones and other portable devices. Happy screen fixing!

A router is a device that connects multiple networks together and forwards packets of data between them. In my house I have a D-Link DI-524 Wireless Router connected to the DSL modem. It has 4 wired LAN ports and a wireless antenna. Which means that I can connect to it using 2 ways, either wired or wireless. My PC uses the wired connection whereas the other 2 laptops around the house are using wireless. Before setting up any router, you’ll need to know these 2 information.

Router IP

The 3 most common router IP addresses are :

• 192.168.0.1
• 192.168.1.1
• 192.168.2.1

Know that you can also check it out from the PC’s Local Area Connection Status.

My router has 4 outgoing ports for the PCs and 1 incoming port for the internet connection. If I had an always-on internet connection, I’ll just need to plug the internet cable in. However, I had to setup the router’s web configuration because I’m on dial up broadband.

Common home routers will have a wizard to help you to :

• Set your new password
• Set internet connection
• Set wireless connection

If not, just look around for the ‘WAN’ page and set it up yourself. All you need to do is just enter your ISP login information like the username, password and connection settings. Then that’s it.
