I believe dead pixels are... unfixable.
i heard that stuck pixels can be fixed, but if you have a dead pixel than the only way to get rid of it is to get a new product.

i dont know if these "tricks" also work with AMOLED, but i read with LCD it is possible, if the pixel is "stuck" like silvos3189 said.

- gently massage the area with the stuck pixel with a soft cloth or something else (doubt this will work with the S9 , since it has a glass front covering the panel)
- heating up the area with a flashlight

i dont have any experience with the mentioned methods so i cant guarantee that they work in any way, but be careful not to damage your device. The safest way is to get a new one.

Thanks for the responses guys.I'll check with cowon about their dead pixel policy. Although i doubt they'll fix it just because of one,but you never know.
