A toddler slammed down my laptop screen while an iPod was laying on top of the keyboard.

The damage resulted in a massive area of stuck pixels on the laptop screen, approximately 2 inches by 10 inches in area.

I've tried running various programs that rapidly flick the pixels in different colors, as well as massaging the screen with heat and also without heat. These are the standard methods I read about for fixing a stuck pixel. But none of the online articles I read said how to fix a huge area of pixels, not just single pixels.

What else can I try to get the many pixels unstuck? My computer is no longer under warranty and I don't want to buy a new one.
