A digital picture frame displays photos taken by a digital camera.
A digital photo frame is like a miniature LCD television screen for displaying digital pictures. These pictures can be placed on your frame either by inserting a memory storage card into the frame, or by connecting the frame to your computer and copying the pictures to the frame as if it were a peripheral storage device. If your photo frame is displaying pictures with speckles on them, it may be a result of damage to the frame or damage to your digital camera. Determining the source of the speckles can help you determine fix the photo frame.
Instructions
1. Remove your frame's memory stick from the frame and insert it into your computer through the memory stick drive or through a card reader that's connected to the computer via a USB port. You may also connect the frame to your computer using the memory cables.
2. Open the memory stick's or the picture frame's storage through your computer's interface. Click on the photos stored there with your mouse and drag them to your computer's desktop or to a folder to save them on the computer.
3. Open the photos in photo imaging software such as Nikon Viewer, Canon Photo Viewer, Photoshop, Gimp or Photo Gallery. Select the software print option to print your photos using a photo printer.
4. Examine each photo with a magnifying glass to see if the speckles are present in the photos. If the speckles appear as multicolored pinpoints of light on the printed photos, they may be burned out pixels on your camera's charge coupled recording device (CCD chip). If the speckles do not appear on the printed photos, the speckles are the result of burned out pixels, which are also referred to as stuck pixels, on the LCD screen of your picture frame.
5. Rub the screen over the speckles with a soft cloth. This will cause the pixels to reset.
