have you tried calling it?

Dead pixel test software.

Take a picture with the cap on, load up the program and test the JPG of the pic you just took.

1 down, only 10036223 remaining. Pretty soon you won't have any left.

In all honesty, one pixel in your camera is very unlikely to cause problems. Is it really noticable?
What camera?

try talk to your camera, ask it if it is dying? hehe

Depending on the camera, you can 'Map' them out (Olympus have this as a standard feature - not sure about others??)

wright ive tried all you suggestion calling for it, talking to it they dont work :-( . ive left lens cap on,taken the shot and zoomed in where it was and it's still there. will my warrenty cover this or is it more hassle than it's worth.

 

[Chillimonster]

depends where in the picture is is and how tolerant you are.

 

[inaneredstripe]

would you even notice one pixel, out of millions?

or have you got carp on your sensor?
