    While I was enjoying my pokemon time, I noticed there's a tiny black dot on the upper screen. I try to remove it both of the dots it doesn't nothing and I realize it was darn dead pixels. Is there a way to remove the dead pixels without sending to nintedo or dissembling?

    In very few cases do dead pixels ever fix themselves. Also, for some odd reason, people say if you massage the spot lightly It could fix it, but I have my doubts on that theory...
     
    I heard there was a certain batch of 3DS systems that had that issue. I know mine has had it from the get-go. When I looked in to it, there was nothing to really do about it.
     
    In this case if you have confirmed the pixel is indeed dead and you cannot massage it to life again; just face fact and prepare to either send it in to Nintendo for a repair or replace the unit. I'd recommend a repair if you've still got any warranty left; this is usually a One Year Limited Warranty that would normally cover such things as dead pixels. It may take a few weeks to repair or you can just have them advance replace the unit if you've got a Credit Card which can authorize a temporary hold of about $300 USD. (This hold is released when they receive the broken unit, this option has a fee, not sure what it is nowadays.)

    Keep in mind this advice is given based on my experience with the policy of Nintendo of America. Other regions of Nintendo may observe differing policies based on local laws in your country or the country of operation.
     
    I'm pretty sure the pixel stuck on it's place even pressing home screen, I still see those tiny black spots.
    Like I said: Anything that doesn't send my 3DS away or for repair.

    I dislike dismantle stuffs and I live in Asia on Indonesia, I don't know where's official spot for Nintedo club
     
    Oh well. I get used to it.

    Sadly, you're going to have to. For a long time, my original DS had a red pixel on it that I got used to. A tiny dot on the screen out of millions isn't gonna hurt at all.
     
    only 2 black spots. I lived with it
