These CPExpress have been used lightly and these two have a 3.3V light out. Is this repairable?

Interesting (and clever) way to name the pixels :) If you are proficient with surface mount soldering (or have a fine tip and are brave) you should be able to remove the bad pixels and replace them. with new ones which should be https://www.adafruit.com/product/2686.

Thanks for your quick response, I am not profient nor am I brave with any soldering. I guess I need to watch some You Tube videos and find some bravery. These CP Express are pretty new and I had hoped I could return for refurbishment by the pros at Adafruit.

They don't tend to do that sort of thing. Do you have a makerspace or such around you where you could find someone to help with it?
