Yes. If your camera has Automatic Pixel Repair (APR) your camera can map out the dead pixels automatically. If your camera does not have this feature, the manufacturer can reprogram the camera to map around bad pixels. Alternatively, you can search the internet for third party vendors that use their own software to reprogram your camera to map around dead pixels. Both of the aforementioned solutions are extremely expensive, however. Neither the manufacturer or third party repair shops are willing to come down off of their exorbitant prices - usually in excess of $1000 per camera to repair dead pixels. They can justify this price because the final option, replacing the CCD block, is cost prohibitive. For example, a replacement block for an old Sony BVP 3 CCD 2/3 inch camera will cost around $20,000 from the manufacturer. Only the extremely unwise would pay this amount.

Bottom line - if you have dead pixels on your broadcast camera either 1) live with it or 2) throw it out, sell it on eBay (disclose the fact that the pixels aren't perfect, of course), or otherwise dispose of it or 3) buy a new camera.

Only Stuck Pixels Can Be FixedNo, dead pixels remain unlit on lcd screens, and they cannot be fixed; however if you have a stuck pixel, sometimes they can be fixed.

Why black dot in LCD screen?

A black dot on an LCD screen typically indicates a dead pixel, which occurs when a pixel fails to illuminate properly or remains unresponsive. This can happen due to manufacturing defects, physical damage, or electrical issues. Sometimes, it may also be a stuck pixel that can be temporarily fixed by using pixel-fixing software or gently massaging the area. However, if it's a dead pixel, it often requires screen replacement for a permanent solution.

What is a dead pixel?

A "dead" pixel is a pixel on an LCD monitor that refuse to light up. This can be caused by physical damage or defects during the manufacturing process. The usual way to test for this is to display a solid color screen, such as white or yellow, and look for any spots that show up on the monitor. Sometimes these "dead" pixels can be coaxed to work again by gently rubbing them with a pencil eraser. You must be careful not to damage nearby pixels, however.
