I have an ipod classic, and I have a stuck pixel (green) and its right in the center of the screen, its very annoying, what do I do? Is there a program that I can download that will make the stuck pixel go away?

http://www.rapidrepair.com/shop/screen-ipod-repair.html gives you an idea that you can replace the LCD.

Unfortunately

One stuck pixel is not considered, by Apple, to be a major problem.

A number of stuck pixels, preferably grouped close to each other, is considered to be a problem.

One pixel is within the fault tolerances of the LCD.

However, returning it is always worth a shot

Which is why I try get my electronics through Costco. Their 90 day unlimited return policy for certain electronics (tvs, camcorders, digital cameras, mp3 players).....priceless.
